The mission of Artemis 3
just skipped King Don's reality,
slipped on the happy path
to blissful aftermath
when trans-fats saved humanity.

A reminder Artemis II was a relic of Obama's term and this mission was a success in spite of trump, who defunded and harmed the success of NASA his entire time in office.

Kudos to NASA and especially the Artemis crew who focused on the wonder and curiosity of the human spirit, on sharing feelings of what it's like to see the moon's dark side, and reminding us that love and hope are still possible even in this increasingly scary and fascist world.

🚀 We just sent a team of humans to the moon and safely home.

Not one bit of generative AI was used or needed.

You don't need it in your office or organization, either.

We can do great things without pillaging public resources and funds for a scam.

This is a great summary of why it has been so satisfying to watch humble, distinguished competence in action on this journey. We’re desperate for a reminder of what has and can be in the face of abject, corrupt weaponized stupidity.

ffft, stupid satphones don't work for astronauts either

can't even leave voicemail, not that anybody checks voicemail

#artemis #artemis2 #nasa

NASA's going to try to call the astronauts' phones, see if that works better

I'm not even making this up

#artemis #artemis2 #nasa

i mean it's not like they don't know where they are, worst case they can just pop over and knock

#artemis #artemis2 #nasa

nobody mentioned bedazzling the outside of the hull

guess that's what they got up to on the far side

#artemis #artemis2 #nasa

#artemis #artemis2 #nasa

picture from artemis 2's exterior camera - the closer it gets to earth the more it looks like actually quite good sfx? which is hilarious because it's real

_starting_ to relax

last time i watched one of these things live (where it really was _live_ live and not a Soyuz drop in Asia) it ended up in a debris field across Texas so _I have been nervous_

but this one worked right
