NASA Isn't Landing On The Moon...

Just so everyone is aware, there is an open letter to Congress going around urging them to refuse the cancellation of VIPER. Congress still has the ability to do this, as they're still in the process of writing a bill for NASA's budget. It'll be shown to them as early as Thursday, so we need all the signatures we can get. not sure if I'm allowed to send links here, so to avoid the risk of this comment being deleted im not going to, but the letter is made by NASAWatch and the article about it is called "An Open Letter To Congress Opposing VIPER Cancellation That You Can Sign", so if you search that up you'll be able to sign it

We can waste billions on stupid wars but can't get a lander to the moon.

I’d be willing to bet if the Boeing starliner wasn’t such a failure…a very expensive failure…. There would be money left for this mission

The problem is not money. The problem is the abuse of money!

God f***, of course, they would do this nasa needs a bigger budget

It's Racketeering ....simple

The Aliens do not want us on the observatory that is disguised as a Moon!

I recently started working for Axiom space, and we just got a contract for a lunar rover...

wow. If Musk really wanted to make a bold statement he'd jump on the opportunity to land Viper on the moon.

Either way, the budget for Viper is ludicrous. It shouldn't cost that much to construct a Rover or Lander. Perhaps, it's time NASA started looking for other contractors.

Give NASA 2-times the budget dammit.

That thumbnail made me think they cancelled the Artemis program 😭

Somebody has to pay for the cost overruns of the SLS. The Artemis/SLS can not even get into a proper lunar orbit and return. It can only achieve HRHO, a sort of combined lunar/ earth, orbit. I expect the SLS will eat many more science missions in the future.

Just give SpaceX the order.

I’m enjoying your channel. Solid work and interesting. Keep going. Earned a sub

Thank you. So much!

The title scared me for a second

We've all seen how well things work out for Boeing on their aircraft when they start removing quality checks, that's probably the only ride into space Iwould turn down if offered.

Well done crew!!!
