There's just really not a very useful reason outside of "because we can", so it hasn't really been a priority. Still, that's kinda the point of the Artemis program, so we're getting there.

    Usefulness is no fun. Those 80s and 90s attitudes wouldn't worry about something like that. We'd have done it just show off and/or to keep the Soviets from doing it first. Don't tell us we have rocks at home, I want space rocks. I want a bucket full of ice from the rings of Saturn. I want a slab of something that got melted by Venus. That stuff is cool.

    I hope they do something fun with Artemis. It doesn't feel like most people are excited for space anymore and that bums me out.

    For All Mankind is coming back in a few days, so that will have to do for now.
