Also this is a stupid article as it implies the targeting of something that's not one of the most idiotic and wasteful things that NASA could do. There's a lot of resistance to the Senate Launch System and the Outpost of Fools out there having nothing to do with Trump, Musk, or their politics.
- nobankai 2y agoFWIW I've heard even more vocal resistance to a taxpayer-funded straight-to-Mars mission. Artemis isn't without it's detractors, but on a relative scale it might simply be in the crosshairs for being too feasible.
- pinewurst 2y agoI'm hardly arguing for equivalence. :) It's not one choice or the other. I'm not convinced that Artemis is feasible, much less desirable, in its current form. It seems only to exist to justify specific launch vehicle capabilities/expeditures. If this were an Iain Banks book, the 1st expedition ship would be named "Sunk Cost Fallacy".
