Hello all, it's snoozyman the chicken guy. I just want to let everyone know that we are finally going back to the moon next month February 6th, 2026! Well not exactly land on the moon but at least fly around it with actual humans on board. This hasn't been done since 1972! I made a similar thread years ago but there were so many delays. If this mission is successful, Artemis III will have humans land on the moon, probably by 2027-2028....hopefully this all goes well!

Edit: After months of delays, it looks like we're GO for launch today and no this is not an April Fools prank! Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PiO495X8Sg

I know, I’m excited for what is in the near future with the Artemis program, say ‘Saturn V’ if you think we can get a colony on the moon before the 2030s end

#6 he’s gotta catch em all

He rolled a nat 20 when he was choosing his occupation.

He’s got almost as many careers as Barbie

He’s more indecisive with his career than when I 20 bucks to spend on an eshop

He is the only kid that makes Asian parents proud

His occupational history is more diverse than the amount of inedible things I have tried to eat

He’s had almost as many careers as there are seasons of Ninjago

I mean, you'd be lucky to have even just ONE of these careers (Navy SEAL, Harvard Doctor, NASA astronaut), but to have all 3 in one lifetime is wild. If he ran for president I would vote for him.

He has so many careers it’s like they do a new TV show for each one and can’t afford to pick a new main character

He already finished all side quests on earth so now he’s going to the moon

He’s the only man more powerful than chuck noris

Hello? Is anyone gonna see my jokes?
Avatar of Stormon-C
He can’t use LinkedIn because he would break the add skill button

According to Google, Jonny Kim is currently with the Artemis team so he is pretty much a strong candidate for the lunar landing mission in the future 😎
