By all rights, this should be something I am deeply passionate about. I’ve been in tech/engineering my entire adult life and was obsessed with NASA as a kid. I even live on the east coast of Florida and can sometimes see the launches/landings over the ocean. But I just… don’t care at all. I’m not suffering from depression or any other malaise, and generally things are fine. But I haven’t clicked on a single link or looked at a single image. I know this has not been the case for many, many people, so I’m wondering what might be different about this launch (or really the whole program in general), and curious if anyone else has found themselves feeling the same.
I don’t think it’s all that hot what’s being done in contrast to what has already been achieved decades ago.
So, once around the moon, Hm.
On the other hand, stuff others already said. There’s so much stuff going in, imo the effort could be used in other places.
Did you hear about that boat that recently made it to Antarctica? Yeah, me neither.
Imagine modern tech in the hands of 80’s people.
“TF you mean 5.4 Gigaherz, 768 MB RAM, 600 AH battery storage!?”
They would string together something godly.
