So I got quite excited when I first heard that NASA was sending a new rocket to the moon. I’m not fan of Musk’s space company but perhaps the time is right for new exploration of our only real satellite.
Then I find out they are going to go around the moon. All that way and not stopping. What is the point of putting people in a tin can to do what has been done unmanned many times? No new photos or videos of astronauts skipping over the lunar surface, no samples of moon rock, nothing.
Before, when I had expected a moon landing, there was scope for defending the expenditure for all of this. But all that cost just to swing by then head straight home. Dear me.
I did read that they had problems with the toilets … and Microsoft software.
Half a century on and no real advance … I know what you mean.
I thought Musk was mad keen to get to Mars.
I thought they were going to land on the moon but it’s just a moon orbit
