@lndexium Lockheed!

Artemis is “science.” Sure. But we have other missions that we want to fly. For instance Dragonfly is an helicopter probe that will fly on Saturn’s moon Titan. The Nancy Roman telescope is another example of a science mission that we want to do. There’s more to NASA than just the lunar program. ISS is aging, but that budget also goes to helping other companies build their own commercial stations to replace ISS.

@Catholic_Astro @NoLifeJordan69 "Science!!" Artemis is also science. Be specific. Oh wait you didn't read it! ISS is also aging and a decade past its retirement date.

Cutting NASA right after Artemis II launches is crazy work

@OriginWx @NoLifeJordan69 But things like science and the ISS are cut. This is a 23% reduction dumbass.

@NoLifeJordan69 Artemis gained $800 million, but you didn't read the document.

The White House is proposing $18.8 billion for NASA in FY27, a 23% cut to NASA's 2026 enacted funding. Science, ISS, and education major targets of the proposed cuts. whitehouse.gov/wp-content/upl…

@Mookafish @NASAWatch @NASA @NASAAdmin Okay, but that’s also his boss. You gotta tell your boss he’s doing a good job, which Trump now is (at least with space flight), if you want more support.

@NASAWatch @NASA @NASAAdmin Sucks that Jared has to glaze the president all the time to keep his job. In an ideal world we would get a boost to the NASA budget on top of Jared making NASA more efficient.

NASA's Artemis III mission set for 2027.

@safety3rdmoto @NASA No, this is actually a night-time shot of the Earth. You can see the lights from Europe in the photo. What they basically did was turn up the brightness so that you could see the Earth as well as stars around it.

@NASA Hey look! They finally added stars to their fake photos!

Good morning, world! 🌎 We have spectacular new high-resolution images of our home planet, all of us looking back through the Orion capsule window at our Artemis II astronauts as they continue their journey to the Moon.

@Jason8675309op @safety3rdmoto @NASA Look at Europe

@safety3rdmoto @NASA Still no city lights tho

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

@DCaolite @Catholicizm1 No?

@Catholic_Astro @Catholicizm1 Are you vaccinated?

Never underestimate the narcissism of women.

@Ibehinduu @Catholicizm1 I understand the concept of women moments.

@Catholic_Astro @Catholicizm1 Missed the point. Pls don't talk when u don't even understand

@kingocho3 @skscartoon NASA is helping to fund and develop Starship. If it wasn’t for NASA, SpaceX would have gone bankrupt a long time ago.

@skscartoon NASA is inefficient and bloated because it’s run by the government 🤦🏾‍♂️ Thank God for the private sector with companies like SpaceX to remind humanity that the job is not done until humans live amongst the stars 😎

As excited as I am about Artemis 2, I really wish they were doing it with Starship

@FFairing @ThePrimalDino @skscartoon NASA is helping to fund and develop Starship.

@ThePrimalDino @skscartoon imagine if they funded starship as long as they did sls and orion though

@cyrkaur @ThePrimalDino @skscartoon Depends, but even then it will not house the astronauts as they will launch and return on Orion.

@ThePrimalDino @skscartoon Starship will be running Artemis 3 and 4.

@Templarpilled We shall proclaim Christ the King’s name across the cosmos, for He is King of the Universe.

Unfortunately, Artemis II seems to have caused some complete uneducated dumbos to start giving the worst takes ever conceived by man about space exploration. I just hope this is a case of the most annoying people having the loudest voice and not a reflection of public opinion.

I had a few before lift off, for my mother who wanted some. Not every day you can get a picture with a rocket that weighs 2,600 metric tons fully fueled. Not saying she didn’t do a woman moment but, she’s a woman experiencing the full launch force of a moon rocket. Of course she’ll take a selfie.

@Catholic_Astro @Catholicizm1 Nice, did you post 20 selfies in front of it and make the launch about you as well?

@timbersongs @lporiginalg @glennbeck Senator Mark Kelly is there

@lporiginalg @glennbeck So far, I have seen the following "conservative" representatives cover the space launch. Glenn Beck Benny Johnson Daily Wire's Michael Knowles Gavin McInnes What do they have in common?

God is great.

Not everything is just about projected cost. Actually, Starship’s development costs have been projected between $5-8+ Billion dollars. NASA is one of the main funders of the Starship program outside of SpaceX themselves. It takes a lot of money to get to the moon and stay there. Even with that, it’s only a 1/10 of the money for the war in Iran.
