I understand the grievances about delays and overruns, but I am disappointed that the complainers can't for one moment be excited about the most powerful rocket in 50 years launching a crew-capable module further than ever before.
Let's just celebrate this moment, for a moment.
- randomsearch 4y agoIt’s incredible and the more organisations doing amazing things in space, the better! If SpaceX are focusing on unit economics and repeatable smaller launches, and NASA are still on the big ticket strategy - well, having both can only be a good thing!

- kiratp 4y agoReplace rocket with 747. It’s hard to be excited about a new 747 from Boeing that flies one way and then you throw it away. Artemis is not changing the economics of space in any way. Just going back to the moon is not very interesting IMO.
- MEMORYC_RRUPTED 4y agoIt might not be very interesting, but it sure is exciting.
- unethical_ban 4y agoIf the world didn't have a plane the size of a 747 for 50 years, and didn't have anything comparable planned when the rebuild was initiated 10 years ago, I'd be pretty psyched.
- mlindner 4y agoI understand your feelings, but this rocket has way too many issues (and I'm not talking technical ones) with it for me to feel happy about it's launch. Also, at least to me, this continues to be a distraction for NASA preventing it from moving into the future. SLS is a roadblock to be overcome, not the future. It's a re-living of the past rather than a look to the future.
