Blazing Reader,

I was honestly expecting an inbox full of hate mail after my Monday post questioning whether the Artemis II mission is real. But, unlike in the early days of COVID (when I'd receive some pretty nasty messages for questioning the scamdemic), people today are either more polite or more skeptical. I didn't receive a single negative comment, and plenty of positive ones. Here are a few samples:

"Great post! The whole thing is cartoonishly fake."

"Great article John. I really do wonder if this is indeed real. I don't trust much these days. Is it to distract us from the other craziness going on in the world and the 2030 Agenda?"

"Great email, John! :-) I posted on Facebook about the fake moon landings and it went viral with 500+ comments...""

"Think we all know that it was total bullsh*t. Never went to the moon was staged in the UK when Stanley Kubrick had finished making the film 2001: A Space Odyssey."

"Loved your email today. Always appreciated that quote from Mark Twain. Think I'm going to read your book Much Ado About Corona again. I loved it the first time. With everything that continues to go on in this crazy world, I will appreciate the book even more.

If you haven't read it yet, my article is still available on my blog: Artemis II: Science or Science Fiction?

Also, the wacky folks at the satirical news site Get Woke Up! republished the article (with some extra graphics and laughs).
