My favorite part is where the news clown was telling us they were keeping the public's boats away, for their own safety, because of 4-5' seas. The ocean is shown behind him, with 2-3" wavelets.

ETA: Why do the downvote queers wish for waves that aren't there?

Interesting that they're planning on skipping it off the atmosphere once... and then actually enter the atmosphere at an intentionally steep angle to see if the heat shield can withstand hotter than usual temperatures

So did Artemis use high res cameras to capture the original landers on the moon and put the moon landing debate to bed?

It certainly didn't help in 2011 when the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter did it, why would it now?
