Destin Sandlin of Smarter Every Day recently gave a talk at the American Astronautical Society about the Artemis program and communication:

I Was SCARED To Say This To NASA... (But I said it anyway) - Smarter Every Day 293

In his talk, he points out some of the legitimate shortcomings in the Artemis architecture, but I'm not sure if the parallels he draws to the Apollo program necessarily hold up, given the vastly different political impetus for the two programs. I think his main points regarding the importance of voicing negative feedback are valid, though.

What are people's thoughts?

Once the infrastructure is there (quite difficult, obviously) it’s theoretically pretty easy to transport stuff back to Earth from the moon. You could even shoot packages back using a railgun if you want to, if I recall correctly.
