Among the international partners contributing to Artemis, it seems most likely a European astronaut would get the first slot for a landing with NASA.

I, for one, hope it's a Scottish person.

I think they should kidnap a Sentinelese guy and chloroform him until they land on the moon. Surprise!!!

Would Scott Manley count as Scottish? :)

Not because easy, but because hard.

They say this every couple of years

This isn't a new program. It's a development of the existing one.

I get that. I'm just saying that, for as long as I can remember, NASA has been making announcements about returning to the moon. Is it somehow more difficult now than it was in '67?

You "get that", but then ask yet another generic question that has literally nothing to do with the announcement... What kind of pathetically slow thought process do you work with?

Yes, yes it IS harder to work internationally than to work within a single well funded entity like old '67 NASA. What a brilliant observation!

Damn, bro. You've got some anger issues. Maybe it's time to take a break from the internet.
