Why did the Apollo 11 astronauts look so demoralized in the post flight press conference?
They saw the ice walls.
>>18530120they were... uhhh... just tired, chud!
>>18530120Purely socio-economic factors
>>18530120They seen god(he was black)
>>18530120There are ghosts on the moon.
>>18530120Imagine having to talk to a j*urnalist
>>18530120The anti-climax of realizing muh Faustian spirit still has to land back on Earth and continue living its normie life in a world corrupted by senseless human ambitions. You got to cross out the "walk on the moon" item off your todo-list. Wat nou? Nothing you'll ever do will match or exceed that. It's all downhill from here. Ouch.

NASA probably had them walking on eggshells the entire time fearing one of their off-hand comments would harm their reputation of good will during what they understood to be a historic moment. The Artemis II astronauts by contrast seem more casual and laid back. Behind the scenes you had shit like this happening that they didn't really want the public knowing about at the time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOsQbd8lDtgalso thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uuv6TVv0r44which is funny in retrospect but at the time NASA wanted to project a level of professionalism
>>18530120They saw something that they were not supposed to see. Something that officially does not even exist
>>18530120i heard the Apollo 11 guys were massive nerds and when they got back nasa realized immediately that all 3 sucked at talking to mediaalso they were nervous as hell because nasa was still figuring out how they really wanted to handle public relations>>18530900
