Artemis II cost and value criticisms, and rebuttals

April 1, 2026Sophia Gad-Nasr

Sophia Gad Nasr directly addresses recurring public critiques that Artemis II is too expensive, too dangerous, or not useful, arguing the mission has broader value beyond repeating Apollo.

So I want to address some recurring criticisms I've seen: it's too expensive, we need to solve problems down here, it's too dangerous, it does nothing for the greater good, we've already done it.
