Born end 1964 I remember being very interested in the moon landing, but I don’t remember the event itself. But it sparked a lot of interest in space, science, and nature, most of which still stands.  
But not for this mission anymore. I watched Artemis’ launch and the first 10 minutes of the flight like I sometimes used to watch the start of Formula1 races when they were shown on free TV.

100 billion well spent then.

The word _integrity_ has more than one meaning. I see it as wishing the thing to come back in one piece. Nothing to do with ethics or morals.

Yeah, of course, sure, that too.

Same here, but I am not blaming _ **myself** _. My meh is their fault.

And what did he reply?
