They need to do better.

I waited 54 years for us to go beyond low-Earth orbit. My whole life, I grew up hearing how great the Moon was and how great NASA was. I defended NASA every time someone said we should defund them. It’s 2026 — 54 years later — we’re finally going back to the Moon, and they’re using a f-cking GoPro.

They need to do better.

Seriously. NASA keeps claiming the images are less than ideal due to a lack of data. They’re also using a GoPro camera.

1) Having additional data links would have been helpful. Redundancy would be better.

2) You’re NASA — you could have done better than a GoPro.

Food for thought for Artemis III in the future.

NASA needs more than one data link.

Redundancy could be beneficial. Not only would having more than one data link improve broadcasting to the world, but if something were to happen to the primary link, there would be another to fall back on.

I truly believe we can broadcast from the Moon better than we did in 1972, 54 years ago.
