Humans are going back to the moon, and the internet can't handle it. Human spaceflight gets public attention like few other endeavours. In early 2026, as NASA is preparing to send astronauts around the Moon for the first time in over 50 years, hype is building across social media and space forums phenomenally.
The Artemis II mission seems to be a next-level moment in the history of space exploration, using the powerful Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the Orion spacecraft to take 4 astronauts on a 10-day journey around the lunar sphere. As with all big moments in human achievement, people around the world have been sharing reactions, jokes and memes online.
