"How do you sustain interest built up by something like the Artemis II stuff?"

If you figure this out, do let us deep sea folks know, bc honestly we have THE MOST live & interactive science available rn and STILL very little of the public cares at all. If cool ocean shit can't win ppl, idk what can

I blame TV series and non science- literate media. If “Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea” was still a thing they would be asking “what does this mission teach us about underwater holidays?” A moonbase is basically a submarine on the bottom of the lunar sea. #Blueeconomy

I grew up with seaQuest DSV (great until it jumped the shark in S3) and Jacques Cousteau reruns. The dearth of *quality* ocean science media on modern TV is depressing. It's all oversensationalized or pseudoscience (e.g. everything on the 'history' channel).

Can't speak for others but in my case it's the MEASURABILITY of spaceflight.

You have missions, usually with long planning stages, sometimes long themselves. Both have trackable milestones. A progression that's easy to root for and judge on its progress, and lets you know what to look out for.
