So, We Are Going to the Moon Today Huh?

đŸ„ł. So ‘hopefully’ the proof that the earth is not flat is reproduced and we can achieve shared goals that overwhelm the ones who will claim it all to be AI. This journey is not a done deal and although whirled peas is a still ways off, just like with so many unexpected babies, sometimes progress just can’t wait for ‘ready now’. đŸ€žđŸŸ
 
So, are we going to find "IT" on the moon, this time ?
Been a few years, gonna take a peek @ something new ?
Got the view dialed in, new cameras framed & focused,
Green Cheeze, or Soilent Green ?
Did you "Get" the April Fools Joke, yet ??

Musk is talking about factories to build satellites on the moon.


In a reply on X on Friday, Musk said a “giant lunar base with AI satellite factories and a mass driver to shoot them into deep space” would be the foundation for creating unprecedented value at SpaceX. When another user suggested that such a setup could make SpaceX a $100 trillion company, Musk responded: “Yes.”

The comments come as U.S. space policy and lunar ambitions have returned to the forefront.
 
I haven't confirmed, but apparently they immediately broke the shitter. It's been fixed but hopefully they're done with unexpected repairs.

Artemis II: NASA’s First Crewed Lunar Flyby in 50 Years - NASA

Meet the Artemis II crew and learn how NASA’s 10-day lunar flyby mission will test deep space systems and pave the way for future Moon landings.
www.nasa.gov www.nasa.gov

Today is the day, no really not an April fools joke, the lunch is scheduled for 6:24 PM Eastern Standard Time today.

My thoughts are:
1. No one cares. Like, at all. I think I am one of the biggest space nerds here and I had no Idea today was launch day. There is almost zero excitement about this mission. I have my thoughts to why but, I'm curious what everyone else thinks about it.

2. I don't feel like there is a high probability of success here. I think we will be lucky to have the crew come home safe. My gut feeling is that corporate contractors who are beholden to a corporate board will not have the safety culture in place to do a big mission like this successfully. I hate to spread bad juju about it but, I have an uneasy feeling and echoes of Challenger and Columbia are hard to ignore. I sincerely hope I'm completely wrong.

3. I really hope this mission is something we can all cheer about when the crew comes home. I win for the USA would go along way right now. :flag

Well, I think there is less hullaballu, because we were desensitized to space cruising during the Space Shuttle era. It happened a lot. This is not a moon landing, which I think people will get worked up over when it happens, this is just a fly by to test new equipment in prep for the landing mission to come.

The more exciting idea is that as we set up the moon base, it creates the launch point for the first Mars mission.
 
you really think people will get worked up over a present day moon landing? something that was already done almost 60 years ago? the wow factor is long gone. probably along with most of the public interest. what’s the pitch? hey - we’re just as smart as granddad was back in the day?

it might not get the excitement as the first missions, but it might get some of the "moon landing was fake, it's a hollywood sound stage" people to find a new conspiracy and i CAN't Wait to see what that conspiracy is

chem trails?
flat earth?
illiuminati?
lizzard people?
obscure religious sect?

it's gonna be great!

Shooting satellites into deep space? No sense detected. The definition of a satellite is something that orbits a planetary body.
