I question the choice of the phrase "to the Moon". I get it, it's technically true, but ~100% of normal people hear that and assume it means boots on the ground. Every single time it gets mentioned, it's immediately followed by a clarification that disappoints the audience. This isn't the sort of marketing choice that a self-confident program makes.

Exactly. I'm happy to see NASA get back in the game, but this is basically just a test flight. I'll get excited for the next one.

Even the next one isn't landing on the moon. It is still a test flight. Good that they are testing things obviously, but it is hard to get excited about testing...

Seems we brought up a similar point at the exact same time. When the subsequent mission actually lands it will attempt the same level of hype

Dont forget 4/1 Elon tweeted he was putting a doge coin on the moon. When that does happen in 2027 or 2028 its going to actually explode in price for the hype

I'm annoyed that I find this joke funny.
