@PoLaRobs@fediscience.org I heard a NASA interview where they stated, "We're going to get a lot of great pictures." Like, wow.

@donlamb_1@mastodon.online Well for most of us that is the most obvious immediate benefit, but I think it would be impossible to come up with a plausible justification for the cost per picture.

@donlamb_1@mastodon.online @PoLaRobs@fediscience.org If the images had the same impact as the Blue Marble image in the 60s - then maybe it is worth it. Unfortunately there is little excitement about these images outside of the space nerd (term of endearment) community. The world was not unified behind the fate of the Artemis astronauts - too much really important stuff for too many humans on the too hot Earth to worry about.
