Not actually landing, but doing an orbit, then returning. First time in 50 years. The view should be good.

2028 before setting foot on it again. I've put my application in.

I don't think there's much to see mate, especially round the back.

Clangers? Or cheese?

The Clangers most definitely . . unless they've been evicted.

Cheese? . . . nah, all that dust puts me off ;)

They’re not actually doing an orbit, technically it’s less sophisticated than Apollo 8 in 1968, which did actually go into lunar orbit.

Artemis II will be put on a ‘free-return’ trajectory, it will be kicked out of low Earth orbit, loop once around the moon and then return to Earth. Not dissimilar to Apollo 13’s trajectory.

How long before someone says it’s not real and is actually AI or filmed in a Hollywood studio?

NASA hired Kubrick to fake the Apollo 11 landing footage, but he was such a perfectionist that he insisted on filming the entire thing on site...
