About this episode
The episode compares the Apollo and Artemis space programs, highlighting the differences in their trajectories and timelines.
When Apollo 8 returned from humanities first trip to the moon in 1968, they didn’t waste any time about it: there were two more complete Apollo missions to fly before Apollo 11, a mere seven and a half months later. Artemis II is finally headed to the moon — and that truly is wonderful! — almost three and a half YEARS after Artemis I. Even the trajectory of Artemis II — let alone the entire program — seems a little too chill.
