This is so real, Before it&#39;s launch I thought I didn&#39;t care about Artemis. But turns out when spaceflight is devoid of SpaceX it&#39;s actually cool again and makes me feel that wonder I thought I lost. I now actually care about this mission a lot. Also excited for China&#39;s moon missions, Spaceflight is so much better without tech bros.

@Aaron_DeVries@mastodon.social I think, problem with SpaceX can be fully explained by actions of one white South-African immigrant. Without him making our (earthlings) lives shittier, SpaceX would create much less frustration.

@Aaron_DeVries@mastodon.social it's the Star Trek future we want. The difference is that Apollo-Soyuz gave us hope with Cold War enemy cooperation between the Americans and the Soviets, whereas this gives us hope with enemy cooperation between the Americans and Canada. I'm only half joking. Canada has done so much for space exploration.

@Aaron_DeVries@mastodon.social If you are a US citizen, let your representatives know. Once again the president is trying to hollow out NASA.

@Aaron_DeVries@mastodon.social China will learn so much from this too, maybe, just maybe one day all nations will collaborate on exploration..
