    Same thing that was always going to happen to it: It’s not gonna fly. It’s been canceled or clean sheet restarted at least once by every administration since inception, and frankly that rope has been pretty thoroughly pissed up.

      Gods dammit, and after Artemis I was so succesful! I was looking forward to Artemis II… And seeing humans once again on the moon in my lifetime.

      I won’t get it. Mars is, resource poor. Don’t get me wrong; having humanity set foot on another planet would be an amazing achievement, but… Since everything is so profit-driven, why not support a return to the moon!?

      There’s potentially Helium 3 up there. And the moon has a bunch of surface-minerals.
