    Among the international partners contributing to Artemis, it seems most likely a European astronaut would get the first slot for a landing with NASA.

    I, for one, hope it’s a Scottish person.

      We are funding a genocide in Palestine visibly. Our Pentagon is orchestrating a much larger WW3 in the shadows (Lebanon and Syria will be key in that. Hilary was super into military presence in Israel, Lebanon, and Syria when she was secretary of state).

      We can’t afford another moon mission (with the making WW3 and all), so we are about to pipeline MASSIVE AMOUNTS of money somewhere… and they are on the hook to go to the moon, but America will technically own that.

      Basically the plot of being B.J. Blaskowitz on Venus, but the Americans are the fascists. And it ain’t even Trump.

        I get that. I’m just saying that, for as long as I can remember, NASA has been making announcements about returning to the moon. Is it somehow more difficult now than it was in '67?

          You “get that”, but then ask yet another generic question that has literally nothing to do with the announcement… What kind of pathetically slow thought process do you work with?

          Yes, yes it IS harder to work internationally than to work within a single well funded entity like old '67 NASA. What a brilliant observation!

            Damn, bro. You’ve got some anger issues. Maybe it’s time to take a break from the internet.

        I can’t tell if you’re joking. I’m referring to NASA it seems that every year there is announcement about returning to the moon five years from now. I can remember the same announcements being made in '95 when I was a kid.

    Has the US already committed to going back to the moon multiple times over now?

    Until I see a shuttle ready to launch, I ain’t buying it.

      This isn’t a new program (Artemis) but a commitment to a specific aspect of it. A stated goal that is now more defined.

      Well seeing the shuttle is long retired and was only meant for earth orbit. I wouldn’t either.

    I’m just responding to the title.

    This is the stupidest thing Biden’s administration could say right now. Welp. Guess it’s just like any day Bidens administration says something.
