GOD SPEED ARTEMIS

 The last launch of the fully invoked DEI lunacy went off without a hitch this evening and according to the knowledgeable Space Viewers, it was about as boringly nominal as a Falcon 9 launch but quieter. I think that is probably the very best thing one could ever wish or hope for in a manned space launch.

They are the latest pioneers to go in search of:

a. A new route to the Indies.
b. Lost Cities of Gold
c. Converts to the old Religion
d. Cure for male pattern baldness
 
Be blessed in your travels and your safe return.

No one cares.

It's just another waste of tax payer money to promote DEI so NASA can justify it's pathetic existence. They're flying around the moon, not to the moon. And??

They could have sent the same "crew" of idiots that went up in Blue Origin. The results of both "missions" will be exactly the same.

Of course if this had been on Biden's watch, the media would be talking about it 24/7. But since it's on Trump's watch no one's talking about it. Which is just as well because...

No one cares.

Happily, the spirit of "Can Do" still exists as the lady up there had to disassemble the toilet and with ground support repair it so they can pee in space. I was thinking it was an Aprils Fool joke, who knows.

Can you imagine if there had been a similar situation Apollo 13 experienced? Fugetaboutit.

The toilet story does bring back to mind Skylab and the early days of memes and the one about an engineer using a diagram of the Skylab toilet to observe, 'fellas, it looks like the shit is supposed to hit the fan.' In my line of work it was called a macerator but you know, that's the difference I guess between sailors and astronauts, everything about sailors is harder, tougher, etc.....
