4. Unfortunately we have human leaders more obessesed over fighting wars over religious and man made borders on a planet we are actively killing

5. Why does any of this matter? I'm not American how does this any of this bring glory to Europe?
   I'm only now interested in Europe's space program and when Europe will land on the moon independently.
   America no longer inspires me, it is no longer the direction I look to for leadership, Trump has broken that spell for me.
   Thank you I feel liberated, all countries should free themselves of America, your destiny is your own.

6. What was the point? Well the point was to do it

7. This was us driving by and seeing a house with a “For Sale” sign in the front lawn.

9. This was a massive mission. It’s the first time humans passed the radiation belts.

10. To confirm, you are saying that Obama cut NASA, and now we are reeling.

11. It's the most pointless trip of all time, it's like taking your family to disney but instead of going in, you drive around the highway that surround disney then drives back home.

12. Thank goodness nobody is going to do anything about Universal Healthcare or affordable housing for its Citizens so that a Moon Colony can finally be a reality

15. hilarious how the small the moon looks out of their window when they were passing it by! it looks almost bigger here from earth! i call total bull crap! if they were truly passing it by it would look SOOO MASSIVE!

16. I still firmly believe Artemis II was a PR Stunt. What better way to generate good publicity for the floundering Trump administration than a grand space distraction?

17. But I thought the earth was not a perfect circle but an egg like shape?

18. You forget to mention how important is SpaceX, and that more has been done in advances after SpaceX then in the last 50 ysr of Space race…
    SpaceX is more "advanced" in operational launch technology and business agility in 2026, while NASA retains superiority in scientific depth and exploration frameworks. The partnership (e.g., SpaceX handling Starship lander for Artemis) is what advances U.S. space goals fastest. They aren't direct competitors—SpaceX provides the "truck," NASA charts the destinations and science.

19. america needs to claim the moon as its territory before the CCP does

23. Please keep personal stuff personal, don't force it on the world, hey I had a doggy, called Jack, let's name a hole on the moon Jack's hole, ugh!!!

24. Watch this space. No pun intended

25. The point was, to quote an absolute Legend, "Because Fuck em, that's why."

26. Anyone else wondering why an object that is just so unbelievably hot touches down in the water and no fizzing, bubbles or discernible cooldown at all?

27. Every NASA EMPLOYEE from the last moon landing has well and truely retired, expertise had disappeared

28. I've been waiting for WW3 to start and finish so we can enter the space exploration age of humanity.
