And let's start with the cost.

Do you think this trip around the moon and back is going to be cheap?

I mean, I'm just going to throw this out to the chat and to the class.

Do we really think that going around the moon is not going to be a lot of money?

I mean, the Artemis 2 mission itself is part of this broader program that is costing $93 billion through 2025.

Now we're in 2026 and the single launch this week was $4 billion.

That's American taxpayer dollars.

So again, the point about public interest, if we're spending $93 billion of our dollars, oh, I'm interested.

No, I'm interested.

And clearly it's not a money saving issue.

This isn't some budget friendly trip around the moon.

And again, since when has the government ever cared about saving money?

Let's be for real.

We learned this with Doge.

The government is fraudulent.

It is corrupt.

And they don't care about saving money ever.

And certainly when it comes to establishing dominance on the world stage, why wouldn't they spend money on this?

They'll spend money on, you know, circumcisions in Zimbabwe or whatever.

So like, really, this is where you're going to cut costs, cut corners.
