Matt Long discusses his skepticism regarding NASA's Artemis 2 mission, specifically citing a segment where "missing pixels" appeared to cover lights on the dark side of the moon.

Charlie Duke defends the validity of the Apollo moon landings, citing the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter's photos of landing sites and the 600 pounds of unique moon rocks brought back to Earth.

Jeff Bezos appeared on CNBC to discuss Blue Origin's mission to the moon, emphasizing the importance of utilizing lunar resources like silicon and water. Bezos argued that the moon is a necessary "step" before Mars, as it allows for the production of solar cells and rocket propellant from lunar dirt (regolith). He also addressed moon landing skeptics, asserting that the U.S. did reach the moon in 1969 but stopped due to the high cost, which he incorrectly cited as 3% of GDP.
