  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

...shared excitement..? I've not heard a single mention of this artemis mission outside of lemmy and reddit, literally nobody cares about it

I was at a restaurant and they had the splash down in the Pacific and everyone cheered. The kids had the launch earlier on in the house. This was the first mission in decades I've seen this much support for.

Yeah, similar for me. A big party we were all going to was starting around the same time the splashdown was happening and a majority were stopped, watching on their phones. Groups huddled in the parking lot, buzzing conversations. I was pretty surprised by it.

I've heard a bit of news coverage about it.

Practically soaking I think it's not exactly a worthwhile goal, we don't have any particularly concrete expectations about what we are going to get out of boots on the moon that we didn't already do. However the general public is still moved by the idea for now.

Every major US network was showing the return splashdown. Just cause you're not looking where others are looking doesn't mean it's not there.

In Spain they did talk a while about it.
