Maybe, but from now on they will always have an ace up their sleeve....

Perhaps not. There's a chance that one or more of them will return on a future lunar mission.

We know which ones.

So we had a few token woman during Apollo and now there's women all over the place and fewer men. WTF is wrong with this world?

Then they turn the cameras on and see a cloud of smoke in the cabin but see the astronauts laughing instead of panicing.

It would be better if we had some Carl Sagan-esque type person with coke bottle glasses who speaks in very technical terms and barely smiles.

I'd probably wind up being the biggest liar on flat Earth if you sent me to the dark side of the moon. I'd be a regular on Alex Jones just pumping the bullshite. Man, I'd see how far I could push that froot loop.
On the ride back home all the other astronauts would be thinking I'm just taking extensive notes in my NASA Moon journal, but I'd really be spinning future yarns for Alex before the inspiration wore off.
"Yeah, Alex....that's a moon rock that an alien threw at me. Notice the crystalline structure and faint hieroglyphs."

I am printing a lunar globe for a lamp to commemorate Artemis II. It is a very long print; it still has almost 31 hours yet but I should get the base done and the light installed before they get back home.

Pretty cool ‘Tuse. Be sure to show us the finished product.

Have they even mentioned what they saw for those 40 minutes? I thought they'd at least mention something even if it was about how light/dark it was. I'm not a tin foil hat guy but they left the door open for those idiots to spin a tale.

Oh I just remembered a factoid about bandwidth limitations:
Some years ago New Horizons did a fly by of a post Pluto object. Took all the data it could in the time it had.
Granted, bandwidth gets slow that far out, both for sheer distance and you typically have to send it multiple times to make sure it was sent correctly.
But nonetheless it still took nearly two YEARS to download the full data packets.
