Anecdotally, that literally only one of my college age students knew about the Moon mission was wild.

I genuinely now believe that a real barrier to (the terrible idea of) reinstating the draft is that it would actually be difficult to find and inform the public about it, in a believable way.

It's not really a challenge of reaching those students, the outlets that could otherwise reach them just simply aren't interested in spreading that particular news, because it goes against their ideological beliefs.

And if you ask yourself "wait, why wouldn't they want to inform people of a NASA moon mission?", you're really behind the ball on what's going on.

If it was information that they actually wanted to spread, it would be spread wide and far and reach those students.

Perhaps I would have heard of this moon mission if HN wasn’t busy inundating me with politics and AI product threads.

I feel like I vaguely remember hearing about it a while back, with little fanfare, and then not again until just yesterday.

In that time I’ve learned of all kinds of crazy developments in politics and AI companies here on HN
