Have they hit the fermament yet?

Nasa was trolled by the Flat Earthers to go back to the moon.
Only costs 93Billion to feed the trolls.

How much of the 93B was the fuel/consumables? That number has to be somewhere.

It was a big experiment on trajectory. If you look at the trajectory of the craft from Apollo 16 compared to Artemis 2, you can see a huge difference. The astronauts are spending a lot more time waaaaaay far away from Earth (scary shit, lol) compared to previous flights.

Also, the "who gives a shit" is the folks making the things that you use. You don't have to give a shit, you can just use the things (and also not believe in space-time) and it's perfectly fine.

I think the common thing I see nowadays since the advent of social media is how easy it is to see everyone's take on every single news story that pops into their feed. As if each news story was tailored to affect the person reading it, rather than just inform people of the goings on of the world.

Ah, well.

That is correct, the folks that think "who gives a shit" are the folks making the things that you use.

These astronauts are larping as real men and scientists and nasa died with the cold war.

Part of the reason it's so scary out there, is on Earth we're protected from most of the bombardment by various cosmic rays and energies, and they are not.

Now about that time dilation...
