I wish the Artemis II crew took 100 little satellites with excellent cameras with them and left them orbiting the moon so we could have near realtime view from there at all times.

@cdevroe@mastodon.social I didn't realize there were so many satellites actively orbiting the moon! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_extraterrestrial_orbiters#Moon But also: what would we be monitoring? I don't think the surface changes all that much. 🙂 Given that we can see about 59% of the moon's surface from Earth, I think you'd only need to cover the dark side to have good continuous imaging.
