People have been really hyped for space x, when they first landed a booster and now when they do test launches of Starship and when they caught the super heavy booster it was incredible.

People care about Artemis II because it's crewed spaceflight to the moon. Artemis I didn't get nearly as much attention.

    By “people” you mean space nerds. But Artemis crossed over into the mainstream.

    So did the starship launch, it was all over the news and randoms at my work were talking about it.

    And the dual Falcon Heavy booster landing way back.

    Back then the SLS programme seemed like the worst kind of wasteful mismanaged project that'll never fly and would be made obsolete by Starship before complete, these days I'm glad there's something left to cheer for since the only moral choice is to hope that everything SpaceX makes explodes on the pad.

    You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

    Falcon 9 has the best launch record of any rocket ever. Its also vastly reduced the cost of rocket launches enabling space science to become accessible to way more people.

    The booster recovery is still unmatched by anyone else and starship is a work of engineering magic and is still due to be the first ever fully reusable launch system.

    I'd ask you what Musk's asshole tastes like, but I don't want to smell your breath.

    Lmao, so because Im not blindly against Space X because Musk owns it that means I'm a Musk fanboy?

    Does that mean anyone that means people that like the Artemis program like you are Trump fanboys since it was his administration that created it?
