I honestly don't feel that enthused. I'm loving the bond between the astronauts though.

Out of curiousity, why not?

Actually, no. It’s not as big a deal as landing on the moon, nor can it be reused like the shuttle. Not much to show for 50 years progress.

No. Dreadful waste of money. Guess it beats blowing up civilians with other rockets.

Why do you think it's a waste of money?

Good point... however I've been told progress isn't always linear, also apparently, this is the farthest we've ever gone

At the moment no, as it's largely been done before - perhaps when/if they start building habitats on the moon I may become a tad more interested

Right, I felt the same way as well. Research & innovation costs a lot of money until it yields results.

Wasn’t that the Mars robot?

Yes, it is the furthest. It would be have been better to have landed on the moon and set up a base. The furthest is only a few extra hours of time and not overly complicated.

If they want to see the dark side of a moon, I can help.

Yeah it's pretty cool IMHO

This is just a "sighting" mission, check the systems and tech. Obviously the loo will need some improvements, probably designed by Woolowitz.

Should have used the Saniflo 33. That little babe can cope with anything, and I mean anything...

Not really tbh.

Shades of disaster whenever I think of these things.

I dread to think how much oil/fuel has been used for it and how much worse it's added to global heating.

I'm not positive about creating a moon base either, to exploit resources there.

It's partly an ego thing for Trump and competition between countries. It's a technical achievement at much too high a cost for us
