"Holy Shit It's Cold Up There" Remarks Returning Artemis Crew
San Diego, California
The first manned mission to the moon in several decades returned to earth this afternoon as the Artemis II spacecraft splashed down in the Pacific Ocean just off the coast of San Diego. The mission took humans further from Earth than ever before, and catalogued a previously unseen side of the lunar surface with tens of thousands of photographs.
“Holy shit, it’s so fucking cold up there.” remarked Commander Reid Weisman. “You don’t think about it until you get out there, but goddamn space is chilly. At least I didn’t get freaked out by how dark it was like (Mission Specialist) Jeremy (Hansen).”
Additional questions for the 4 returning astronauts confirmed that it was indeed cold as shit up in space. Further, multiple of the returning crew expressed concerns about how difficult it was to find a decent meal on the far side of the moon.
“Not even a Buckees out there. If you don’t pack snacks for the whole trip ahead of time you’re pretty fucked.” said Victor Glover, the mission’s pilot.
NASA has yet to comment on plans to address the concerns about the cold on future manned moon missions.
