Based on her past performance I would be inclined to lean towards ”stupid”:
A lot of great pictures are starting to come in. https://www.nasa.gov/artemis-ii-multimedia/#imagesJohnnie Lyle wrote: ↑Tue Apr 07, 2026 2:16 pmYou can also listen to the recording Jim Lovell made for them as they approached the far side of the moon.

Thank you to all of you for allowing us the immense privilege to be on this journey together. It's quite amazing. And as we go on this journey, thinking about the NASA mission to explore the unknown in air and space, to innovate for the benefit of humanity, and to inspire the world through discovery. And as you've gone along on this journey with us, hopefully we're doing just those things. And as we get close to the nearest point to the moon and farthest point from earth, as we continue to unlock the mysteries of the cosmos I would like to remind you of one of the most important mysteries there on Earth, and that's love. Christ said, in response to what was the greatest command, that it was 'to love God with all that you are.' And he also, being a great teacher, said the second is equal to it, and that is 'to love your neighbor as yourself.' And so as we prepare to go out of radio communication, we're still going to feel your love from Earth. And to all of you down there on Earth, and around Earth, we love you from the moon.
(SMH) Wait a minute - this is the 21st century, I can watch it.

Yeah, the images and data should be spectacular with modern systems compared to what we could do in 1972.brovane wrote: ↑Tue Apr 07, 2026 8:55 pmA lot of great pictures are starting to come in. https://www.nasa.gov/artemis-ii-multimedia/#imagesJohnnie Lyle wrote: ↑Tue Apr 07, 2026 2:16 pmYou can also listen to the recording Jim Lovell made for them as they approached the far side of the moon.

Can't wait until we land and get back something like Go Pro 360 Video.
Charlie Duke also made a recording - https://youtu.be/PODx4JFztZo?si=Lph1TbwseLfAkFOX
Apollo-17 astronaut Harrison Schmitt has been doing the rounds.

Awesome, until the belters acquire the proto-molecule anyway.
