An astronaut on the Artemis II mission has caused upset by saying that the dark side of the moon was “a bit disappointing, to be honest”.
“Don’t get me wrong, it’s amazing we can do it,” said Astronaut Dave Concrete. “Great scientific achievement, and all that.
”It’s just, I’ve gotta be honest - it does look a bit dull. It’s basically grey rock. Pretty much like the side we can see from Earth, come to think of it. Reckon the Pink Floyd album woulda been pretty tedious if they’d known what they were writing about.”
He was then taken aside by his superior officer, who said “Look, what if Neil Armstrong had stepped onto the moon and said how boring and featureless it was? Think what a let down that would have been.
“Luckily it didn’t seem boring to him. That’s why they picked someone from Ohio to go first.”
