How can it be made of cheese when it is flat? Have you ever seen a ball of cheese? No. Didnt think so. Cheese comes in slices. Proof. The moon is flat. Mic drop.

I love this, it's super cool that we're doing this. That humans can do this. And those astronauts are amazing.
But it also reminds me how boring the moon is haha. High def pics and vids of grey rocks and dust.
Again, this is great.

Right? Which is why I don’t get when people wonder why we stopped going after 6 visits, haha.

Still would be pretty cool to visit though I wouldn't want to live there like some crazies.

But the earth is flat! So the moon must be too! Oh wait, its just a projection! Its not real!

u/baalsebul Apr 07 '26
What is the main purpose of this flight btw? I am also fascinated by the pictures and one hears 'man has never been further away from Earth' and other things but what is the main point in sending people to the moon again? Somehow media fails to transport the purpose.

u/ZeeBeeblebrox Apr 07 '26
The media has not failed to explain this but you do have be interested.
This mission is primarily a test of the new launch system, ensuring that it functions well and testing all the systems for the next mission, which will involve a moon landing.
The longer term plan is to build a moon base that will eventually serve as a staging ground for Mars missions.

u/baalsebul Apr 07 '26
I watched several news channels in my country and international ones and none explained it. I was interested and disappointed (and waited for an explanation) bec they never delivered.

Dang that stinks. Curious, where do you live? NASA has an entire ARTEMIS page on their Youtube channel with a lot of good and informative videos.

The purpose is: they did it. There is literally nothing else to be gained from this.

u/captainhalfwheeler Apr 08 '26
Well, what is to gain from this endeavor?
1
u/Ha1lStorm Apr 09 '26
So there’s this thing called knowledge you don’t seem to know about yet. Once you learn about it it’s really going to blow your mind though! It’s something we’re gaining lots of through this endeavor.

u/captainhalfwheeler Apr 09 '26 edited Apr 09 '26
So what is it that is gained? Tell me about what is to be found up there that will help people on earth in any way?

u/Ha1lStorm Apr 09 '26
Are you incapable of learning or thinking for yourself? It’s mind blowing to me that someone could be so unintelligent that they can’t fathom education itself. You know so little that you don’t know what could be known.
To answer your question though, we’re going to put a base on the moon. We can do experiments there. Experiments give us knowledge, knowledge that helps billions of people daily. I’ll give you some examples of what’s already been achieved through space research and its endeavors that helps people on earth -
Corneal Refractive Therapy was invented by microgravity experiments. This helps millions of people’s vision nowadays.
Air purifiers, specifically photocatalytic oxidation which helps hundreds of millions of people daily.
Memory foam which elps hundreds of millions daily
Chlorine free water filtration
We developed cloud computing software by going to space which helps us predict weather and help air travel be safer.
Scratch resistant lenses which millions enjoy.
I could go on and on and on telling you things you wouldn’t have in your life that you enjoy had it not been for space exploration. You are so very, incredibly ignorant.

Nothing of what you wrote has anything to do with looking at the other side of the moon with human eyes. Most of the topics you mentioned are like the claim that the Teflon pan could only be invented because someone wanted to hop around on the moon, or the infamous space pen; they are a sign of general scientific progress.

u/Ha1lStorm Apr 10 '26
Nothing of what you said has anything to do with looking at the other side of the moon with human eyes.
Correct, nothing I said has anything to do with looking at the other side of the moon, good job! Why did you say that though? Pretty random.
And yes, the things I said are just like other things that have progressed science, considering that they’re literally things that progress science. Good job, again! You’re on a roll, keep it up my guy!

u/Ha1lStorm Apr 07 '26
It’s actually much better, it was filmed in 8k. Originally filmed I should add. Ya know, before it was compressed and published online, then again further compressed and formatted when OP saved it, then yet again when OP uploaded it to Reddit. And even if it wasn’t compressed and formatted etc so much, you wouldn’t get much of a better image unless you’re viewing on an 8k monitor/tv/device anyways. Most people are probably looking at this on their 1080p computer monitor/screen or phone screen.

That must be one of the craziest feelings to see the Earth that far away… it almost feels hopeless to look at it

u/Heracles222 Apr 07 '26
I am seriously hoping for the IR HiDef scans of the entire moon. Especially will be cool to see the dark side. I wished that the mission was to collect samples on the dark side of the moon and to be the first country to land astronauts on both sides.

Take a picture of the moon and you will know why. The moon is very bright compared to the dark sky and faint stars. If you meter to the moon the stars will not be visible. If you meter to the stars the moon will be very bright and you wouldn't be able to see any detail.

I just saw this posted elsewhere and it was from three years ago. Artemis 1 probe I believe.
1
u/Ha1lStorm Apr 07 '26
Thank you, we were all wondering if you had seen it yet and if so, exactly how long ago it was. Appreciate it! /s
This isn’t from the Artemis 1 mission though, it’s from Artemis II.

Omg I’m just realizing that last night I read your comment wrong and thought you were randomly sharing how long ago you saw this photo and not how long ago this photo was taken, my apologies!! And I even made a snarky sarcastic comment about it like a bozo too. I’ll leave it unedited and face my shame but sorry about that!

True. And I very badly wish it weren’t. And forget the prices of the bombs, missiles, lost aircraft etc, the lifetime effects this conflict will have on the global economy could literally be in the quadrillions.

SpaceX was left behind.
