What's really depressing is how many fools believe this garbage: Supposedly, 53 years ago, we landed on the moon. And now we only have the technology to do a flyby and have to wait 2-3 more years for them to figure out how to land on the moon.

Hello, retard. I'm just stopping by to inform you of the following:
>Apollo 8 was a lunar flyby
>Apollo 11 was the landing
>Artemis II is a flyby
>Artemis IV is scheduled to be a landing

Hello retard, I'm just stopping by to inform you of the following:
>You will never go to space

>>16957935
When they did it before, they also went with an incremental, methodical approach building up to it with test flights, rather than jumping all the way to a landing right away. Which is why Apollo 11 was the first landing, rather than Apollo 7 or 8. I’m sure there was plenty of childish impatience over the test flights back then too.
It would be stupid to try and rush through it and jump straight to a landing this time. Just because the 50 years newer Artemis spacecraft has the same general objectives, doesn’t mean it all works the same

You have to understand that these posters are actually retarded and have no attention spans left due to years of irradiating their brains with TikTok and porn. The fact that it hasn't happened yet means it never will. This is what they believe.

film is closer to what our eyes actually see
digital is always blown out. It takes a lot to capture color actually

I would argue in a sense that Artemis is more rushed than Apollo since the design is immature as they keep fucking with the SLS blocks and overall mission architecture, so we don't get as much useful test data on each flight as the Apollo engineers did and we end up taking unnecessary risk.

Artemis 2 is equivalent to Apollo 8. Dumb fuck

The far side of the moon is some shitty analog horror video from youtube?

Bullshit, what I saw on our CRTs and films or digital cameras even in the 2000's felt a lot closer to what my eyes see than what we have now and I got the tech to prove it. For motor racing in particular it feels like I have a blurry piss filter hell, worse than wearing sunglasses or polarized lenses in real life.

This mission was very fun. Lots of memes and everyone got home safe. No idea why they brought a Canadian, though. Pity?
