    Yeah, why do things! Let’s just sit on our ass and stagnate!

    Let’s do the same thing over and over again and call it progress! Next time you are in a hospital watching a loved one dying of cancer, you can tell them how many times we flew around the moon!

    We can’t breathe, the earth is on fire…let’s do another moon victory lap!

      The world doesn’t have enough supply of organs for transplant

      We cannot grow synthetic organs on earth because complex tissue collapses under its own weight during the growing process on earth

      Space has much lower gravity. We might be able to grow synthetic organs there.

      When I’m old and my Grandkids can get full organ transplants with kidneys grown on the moon, I just might thank the Artemis missions.

      Those things are not mutually exclusive. Why are you so angry about this when the military budget request this year was over 892 billion dollars?

      NASA’s budget is less than 0.35% of the what was spent the previous year, which was over 7 trillion dollars.

      If you want to be angry at something, you should direct it toward the asshats in charge who refuse to fund our Healthcare, infrastructure, and yes, cancer research.

      You’re right to be upset, but you are directing it a the wrong stuff.
