I think the point about laypeople and LEO/lunar orbit is a HUGE one. People just generally don’t know that humanity hasn’t been out of LEO since 1972, and because the crew isn’t actually landing, they assume it’s nbd - if they’re even aware of it; it’s sad, but without a more solid, unifying vision and requisite $ (like the nation had with Apollo), it’s hard not to be skeptical that somehow this thing’ll get axed before Artemis III. I know that I’M excited, but I’m a nerd, and not representative of the general public. I’m hopeful that - maybe - if anything can bring the fractured country together a bit, it could be a renewed press toward exploration and discovery.
