So I didn’t know that, but I looked it up and its 3.8cm a year.
The moon isn’t always the exact same distance from earth either, so that extra distance is pretty negligible compared to where it was on any given previous mission, that his statement isn’t necessarily true.
Artemis II will loop around the moon on a trajectory that will take it about 4500 miles farther away from Earth than any of the Apollo manned missions.
Yeah but you can see the obvious absurdity in stating it. Hope they don’t get fried by the intense solar weather or smashed by one of these fireballs from the apparent debris field we’re traveling through.
I wonder how all that space debris compares to the probability of all the commercial airliners ascending and descending through birds and what not. Comparative damage aside.
Technically he is right about this.
are they doing a further away turn around the moon than before?
The moon is slowly moving further away from Earth

Ah okay that makes more sense than it slowly drifting away.

Space is big, they’ll probably be fine

It doesn’t.
ok
