SpaceX has indeed spoilt us with their video feeds. Bad SpaceX.
The only thing that galls me is that we do not have a Lunar base station. 20+ years of ISS and counting. By this time ISS ought to have been a staging ground for a Lunar base where we master and do in-situ resource utilization.
Was proud to see the launch of Artemis II. The Canadian Jeremy Hansen is from a town right beside me although I don’t know him personally. He went to school here and probably has a good story how he ended up where he is now as do the others. Hope to see them get back safe.
Artificially magnified position of the Sun, the Moon, planets, deep-sky objects like M42 are shown, too, either with science names, or local translations.
Allegedly, clouds can be shown, too, but I haven’t figured out.
I say to the Artemis II astronauts, just go for it. Do the first space mutiny, take over the craft and land the damn thing on the far side of the moon. Get out, hop about a bit and return.
NASA wont be able to do s**t about it. You will come back as heroes. Seize the opportunity. I know I would. It is a crime against humanity that they are forced to look from afar but not touch. Such prude.
Canadians in the Artemis, be a rebel. Come on you can do it.
