Black dood and woman…no worries.
The Canook? Shiver me timbers! That Hoser will be sucking down the rocket propellant
Be worried…very worried…

You should really stick to your dumb memes and racism.

Yup, it has been.
Probably why they're effectively phasing it out after this launch, according to their new plans.
(Could be worse, though. Could be Starliner.)

So the SLS is still the workhorse going forward.
The decision to scuttle plans for the upgrade doesn’t seem to indicate NASA is “phasing it (the bad luck ship) out after this launch”. If anything, NASA seems to be doubling down on the current design, no???

Blue Origin or Starship from Artemis III onward.
SLS may support other parts of the program, but it won't be the star.

Gorgeous launch.
And this flight is demonstrating the importance of DEI.
Girls, children of color, and even children from different nations are seeing themselves represented on this flight / mission.
That ^ is no small thing. Probably bigger than the flight itself.
We. Told. Them. So.

Artemis is still going to be used going forward, they said they scrapped the Block 1B upgrades and are going with a modified block 1, which I don't know what that means(they haven't finalized the design yet), but I assume it will have heavier payload capability, as that was the main purpose of block 1B: the spacecraft plus cargo. They scrapped the Block 1B to keep the system standardized/stable so they can increase the launch frequency; not scrap the Artemis.
So I think it is still SLS(the heavy lift rocket) plus the Orion Space Capsule with the Block 1 ICPS(Interim Cryogenic PropulsionStage, it will be modified moving forward) the stage after the main rockets are released. The Block 1 has a single engine the Block 1B was supposed to have four engines and be 44 feet taller from what I read). Block 1 is currently 27 metric ton capacity, Block 1B was supposed to be 38 metric tons. The modified block 1 capacity???
Because of the cancellation of the Block 1B, when they need to land on the moon, a moon lander will be launched separately on commercial rockets(SpaceX, etc.) for a space rendezvous with the orion capsule launched on the SLS. Seems very wasteful, but safety first.

They needed someone who isn't a pedophile so of course they chose a great Canadian.Black dood and woman…no worries.

Guess no one told the felon there was a Canadian going up… He would certainly have deported him.
Just tell him this is their way of deporting him.
Artemis is an ancient Greek goddess, who is a Moon goddess as her brother Apollo is a Sun god. So it makes sense to name a Lunar mission after her (her brother, in fact, was an odd choice for the first ones), and has nothing at all to do with the Bible, which only mentions Artemis because Christians were in conflict with her worshippers. If you object to naming space projects after pagan gods, you should have said something back in the 1960s, because they've been doing it continuously since Projects Mercury and Gemini.
