U.S. astronauts won’t set foot on the Moon until September 2026 at the earliest, following NASA’s announcement of multiple delays to Artemis missions stemming from safety concerns for astronauts flying aboard the Orion spacecraft, and the need for further development of key technologies.

    We could just as easily dump the billions we do in weapons on space…

    It would “stimulate the economy” just as much, while blowing up far fewer people, and they wouldn’t even be blown up intentionally.

    There’s as much time between the Wright bros and the moon landing, as there will be between the first and next.

    We could be so much fucking further.
