Hearing Reid and Christina talk about it in their own words is the best part. Adding this episode to the queue tonight.

Wouldn't it be safer to have people who have already been around the Moon land on it, since they're more familiar with the environment?

I think I know why they don’t want to go again. It’s one of those things that wouldn’t be as awe-inspiring the second time around

Hearing Wiseman and Koch call Artemis II the greatest adventure four humans can go on lands hard before a crewed lunar flyby. From their debrief, was the tighter constraint free-return trajectory margins on the outbound coast, or keeping life support stable for the full multi-day loop?

Perhaps the greatest discovery in exploring another world is how differently we see our own when we return. Some journeys change our location. Others change our perception of everything.
