Beyond the science, one of the best parts of the Artemis 2 launch today was that for 2 hours we didn't have to hear anything about Trump.

@AinsleyLowbeer agreed, although as someone who enjoys following #space news, the price tag on the mission thus far is absolutely insane. "A #NASA inspector general estimate cited by Bloomberg put the total Artemis programme cost at about $93 billion through 2025." By comparison, not supporting or against the company in question, SpaceX has run on an annual #budget of around $10-15 billion. That includes both the things they accidentally blow up and the *hundreds* of launches they do a year.
