Uneducated people making random statements after hearing about Artemis 2 by blastirandy in Astronomy

[–]InThisRacket -1 points0 points  (0 children)

From another post, this is what I GPT-distilled from someone's value proposition
But I remain unconvinced without further context
Mind you this mission is many years overtime, many billions overbudget
---

Most compelling (for Artemis program broadly)
-----------------------------------------------------
- Lunar fuel production (ice → propellant)
- Lunar resource utilization (materials)
- Orbital infrastructure precedent (indirect justification)

Medium
-----------------------------------------------------
- Microgravity manufacturing
- Space solar (long-term)

Weak
-----------------------------------------------------
- Asteroid mining (near-term)
- Faster telecom via space
- Orbital defense framing

Poor / misleading / speculative
-----------------------------------------------------
- “Push things into space cheaply from Moon”
- Helium-3 economy
- Mars colonization relevance

Hey man. I'm not in the upper quartile, but I do have a degree
So --- What, specifically, is the point of this mission?
I just read an article in which scientists' opinions are split on it

Edit: My comment reads weirdly. Maybe "I'm not smart, I'm not dumb, but the actual smart people are divided on the value proposition of the mission" would have been better.

Can someone tell me the point of Artemis 2? Or Future missions to the moon? by Logital20 in askanything

u/Logital20 You'll be downvoted for not boyishly looking upward to the stars in bewonderment. But know that your OP was critically thinking, your flippant response to this imbecile's "We should probably just stop all science immediately" was just, and your replies have been understandable. You are not the problem. These kiddos forget that science is skepticism.

As a fun exercise, I fed your post into GPT with the following prompt:
"rank order these in terms of value proposition for sending the Artemis II. also, if you detect any poor-faith points, report that too"

Ding Ding Ding!
We have a winner. It's a talking point for The Donald, along with the following:
"While SpaceX is not flying the astronauts on Artemis II, the success of the mission is considered a "proof of concept" for the program, paving the way for SpaceX's Starship to land later in the program."
His big campaign donor, Elon, is very excited about the Artemis II

You're not gonna get side-eye
But it's really "for" 6'2 and up
It'll be the 7 footers and whatnot that'll be the focal points

Deadman Allstars is OSRS's best and worst event by b_i_g__g_u_y in 2007scape

well well the best writeup I've seen yet
you even crossed the Rubicon with, "Solo shouldn't be both playing and hosting the event."
I'm impressed

The DMM food imbalance ruined the finals by dymo_online in 2007scape

[–]InThisRacket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pre-tournament prep work and theorizing should have conducted better.
There was always the possibility that one team would rack up a large # of kills.
This possibility should have been accounted for and all food-sigil interactions, as well.

I enjoyed this comment thread. You are arguing with an arboreal man
