Artemis, Apollo & Absolute Nonsense | Nightwatch Ep.79

from Nightwatch · host Signal Flare Studio

Episode 79 launches from the breakroom straight into orbit as Closer-in-Chief, Big Smoke, Kitty, and Tech dig into the moon landing debate, Apollo skepticism, Artemis II, space tech, NASA’s return-to-the-Moon plans, and the growing problem of knowing what evidence to trust. The crew talks Apollo footage, lunar dust, telescope limits, aging flags and rovers, Artemis flight testing, radiation concerns, robots versus astronauts, lunar refueling, helium-3, SpaceX, NASA costs, rocket reliability, and the very real danger of broken toilets in space. Along the way, they veer into ISS footage, Challenger memories, AI deepfakes, sci-fi expectations, The Martian, Star Trek, Warhammer, wildlife reintroductions, coyotes, hospital work, hygiene, and regular night-shift nonsense. Expect skepticism, science, hard opinions, weird tangents, and the kind of chaotic space debate only Nightwatch could turn into a breakroom incident report
