    ???

    People have been really hyped for space x, when they first landed a booster and now when they do test launches of Starship and when they caught the super heavy booster it was incredible.

    People care about Artemis II because it’s crewed spaceflight to the moon. Artemis I didn’t get nearly as much attention.

        So did the starship launch, it was all over the news and randoms at my work were talking about it.

          And the dual Falcon Heavy booster landing way back.

          Back then the SLS programme seemed like the worst kind of wasteful mismanaged project that’ll never fly and would be made obsolete by Starship before complete, these days I’m glad there’s something left to cheer for since the only moral choice is to hope that everything SpaceX makes explodes on the pad.
