Fun fact, when recording the fake moon landing, Neil Armstrong was such a stickler for details that he refused to film it unless they filmed it on location.
Artemis II never landed on the moon. It was just a flyby. This makes it more equivalent to Apollo 10 and the famous exchange
Stafford: “Oh—who did it? … Give me a napkin quick. There’s a turd floating through the air”.
Young: “I didn’t do it. It ain’t one of mine”.
Cernan: “I don’t think it’s one of mine”.
Stafford: “Mine was a little more sticky than that. Throw that away”.
Cernan (later): “Here’s another goddam turd. What’s the matter with you guys?”
Considering the continuing toilet problems on Arty 2, absolutely appropriate
Neil claimed, and I think we should believe him, that he said “a man” but the radio glitched.
Apollo 10; “Whose turd is this floating through the capsule? It’s not mine, mine wasn’t sticky.”
I heard something about the Artemis crew having waste disposal system issues too, but all I could find about it was a bunch of clickbaity YouTube videos and I refuse to watch those.
The fancy toilet got too cold, so the waste froze. They had to use heaters and even rotate the ship so the toilet was on the sunlit side to thaw it out.
All that computing power and all we got was slower software and a hallucinating chatbot.
At least I can game on Linux now, thats some real progress.
You must have missed the part where they were talking about crater albedo and one of them said 6 7 (0.6-0.7) and the chat went wild. Definitely the most significant part of this whole thing.

Ugh I hate that Neil biffed his line
The quote makes no sense without “a”. It’s always annoyed me that it’s not added in, whether he said it or not!
It still makes perfect sense, imo. I wouldn’t even call it incorrect on a technical level. The contrast between “man” as singular and “mankind” as collective should provide all of the context needed.
If I describe a scene of a story as “man goes to work,” no one assumes I’m talking about the collective of humanity.
“Man goes to work” makes sense as a headline, but not as a statement. “Man” and “mankind” mean the same thing.
Got it, so one may only discuss serious topics man(kind) to man(kind).
for A man
Fuckin A man.
