This is the first MOON BASE ever, and it's unbelievable



Are we really about to create a moon base with a permanent human presence?

The Artemis Moon Mission is a massive project set to send humans back into space and on the lunar surface once again.

  1. Long time viewer here.
    With all due respect I can’t help feeling duped.

    HLS – (the part of the mission where a SpaceX built system transports astronauts from lunar orbit to the surface and back) is ridiculously behind schedule.
    Catching a rocket (Starship Super-heavy booster) with ā€œchopsticksā€ makes for good buzz. But look at the timeline. The mission requires in-orbit refueling (from one Starship to another) ~ 10 times. THEN fly to the moon, land on the surface, take off and come back to earth. What SpaceX has demonstrated at this time is not even one Starship in orbit. Let alone full of fuel, to refuel a buddy.
    (The NASA big-wig who signed of on the contract now works at SpaceX. The two competitors back then complained to Government Accountability Office (GAO) – that will soon be Musks DOGE. Soooo although I sincerely cheer for humans on the moon – I think your video paints a very-very unrealistic picture of the current state of progress.

    BTW I appreciated the very carefull wording regarding the ā€œtouch downā€ of the Intuitive Machines lander… since tipping over does not count as a landing 🫣

  2. The first thing they will build is a prison. Whether it is to lock up over population or have slave labor to mine H3.
    ā€œYeah! Let’s build on the moon so we can ignore earth responsibility!ā€
    Fu({^ greedy corrupt bastards!

  3. I'm not a denier. I saw the first moon landing as a kid. I'm now 60. But I don't think NASA will make this time unless there's a big shift on the way they are doing it. If things keep getting delayed this much and with cost overruns and political budget cuts, China will do it before America.

  4. Did the ASAP Science channel get shadow banned?

    Videos a few months ago were getting millions of views like usual but the last couple haven’t made it close 1m views

    The content quality hasn’t gotten any worse but I haven’t even seen two of the last videos when I watch them all bc I haven’t been recommended them yet

  5. Loved this video, but the one conflict I have is you mentioning Pounds and Fahrenheit. You’re a scientist. You have never used Pounds or Fahrenheit in any of your work, so why dumb down your video for the sake of just 4% of the planet? It kinda impacts your credibility.

  6. Cool, cool. Can we launch Elon and "accidentally" leave him there? Forever?
    Okay, though, being serious: don't we have enough problems to solve here without starting to r*pe another large, round object in space? Because Earth is four times the size of the moon, so it'll only take us 25% of the time to screw it up, too.

  7. I am very skeptical of the long term survivability of a soft skinned pressurized habitat in a vacuum. At that point we're literally relying on luck it doesn't get punctured by multi-thousand km/h sand particles and explode.

  8. Why is it unbelievable? 55 years ago we landed there, I saw that myself on television back then. What is unbelievable is how long it has taken for us to go back there. And it seems the only reason America is going back there to build a base is because the Chinese and the Indians are doing the same thing and we have to keep up with the Joneses.

  9. I only learned about the Artemis missions a few weeks ago and it blew my mind how far into the whole thing they are already. It wouldn't have surprised me if they were only at the planning stages or something and that "we might see it in my lifetime", no, they're already past the first mission and the second mission is NEXT YEAR! Exciting things in humanity's near future!

  10. I’m old enough to have watch live broadcasts of men walking on the moon. It was truly amazing.

    And I don’t believe the U.S. will be putting anyone back on the moon in 2026, 2027, or 2028. Whether it’s problems with the spacecraft or just the complete and total incompetence of the MAGAt administration, it’s just not going to happen. Elon will be rejected by Dear Leader very shortly into Dear Leader’s new term, and Elon will destroy all things NASA-related as retaliation, since that’s what adults with the emotional development of a four-year-old do. Dear Leader might insist that things go forward, but that will lead to a disaster that shuts down Artemis entirely.

    I hope I’m wrong, but I’d bet money that Artemis doesn’t happen on schedule. At all.
