NASA Launch Shows Americans Are Rejecting Basic Facts, And That Should Concern Everyone

Wednesday night, I sat in a grocery store parking lot for half an hour watching the Artemis mission to the moon on my phone with the excitement of a 10-year-old kid.

A successful launch that, God willing, will see a crew of four astronauts return home after making a pass around the moon is something historic and fun.

NASA has not ventured outside of Earth’s orbit in my lifetime, which is a big deal if you ask a lot of people.

This animation shows NASA’s Artemis II mission path, a journey of nearly 685,000 miles. The crew will travel in a figure-eight trajectory, looping out from Earth, around the Moon, and back again.

My excitement at the launch turned to a kind of shock when the YouTube stream I was watching suggested I read the comments as they were posted in real time.

I lost track of how many people called the launch an outright fake, despite the fact that it was seen by countless people.

The sound alone made a space geek out of me! 🚀 Here’s one unedited minute of the Artemis II launch from our setup on the press mound. My first time covering a launch from Kennedy Space Center… and I’m not sure I could’ve picked a better one.
