    …shared excitement…? I’ve not heard a single mention of this artemis mission outside of lemmy and reddit, literally nobody cares about it

      I was at a restaurant and they had the splash down in the Pacific and everyone cheered. The kids had the launch earlier on in the house. This was the first mission in decades I’ve seen this much support for.

      I’ve heard a bit of news coverage about it.

      Practically soaking I think it’s not exactly a worthwhile goal, we don’t have any particularly concrete expectations about what we are going to get out of boots on the moon that we didn’t already do. However the general public is still moved by the idea for now.
