I was completely unaware of the people on the moon thing until the other night

Well it was actually around the moon not on it. It was a fly by mission that has cost now 100 billion dollars to get this far. The most ridiculous over budget poorly managed program in NASA history because of the design approach and so many point of no return budget issues. Once started and these things don't end no matter the cost until someone says mission accomplished. They might get a moon landing with ARTEMIS but I believe the program is doomed and unsustainable.

some of my friends are astrophysicists
they've been telling me about this for a while now
with excitement and enthusiasm
for quite some time
Hell, one of my cousins even worked at NASA for a while

But I agree

I don’t follow news much either. Too many crazy things happening

Never heard of that or maybe I am misunderstanding something here lol
