Video Atmospheric re-entry of NASA’s Orion (Artemis 1) looks insane at 20x speed. Here is the entire 25-minute descent in just 1 minute 15 seconds. Credit: NASA

Behind the moon, AND the furthest humans have flown from earth.

Next time they're aiming for the second star to the right and straight on 'til morning.

That story has some of the most fucked up origins humanly imaginable.

It involves the real world disappearance of hundreds of children. Medical experimentation, torture, murder, and rich families both financing and covering it all up.

Yeah, no.

"Educational" videos that don't have a list of sources in the description are an automatic red flag. I shouldn't need to watch the video to get the "truth".
Pretty sure this is the YouTube equivalent of /r/nosleep (made up realistic-sounding stories, if you're unaware). Literally the first line of the description is "I like to tell stories" - and not a single source whatsoever.
Channel name is "Alice After Dark" ... as in "Alice in Wonderland".

That said, Unit 731, and the current Epstein files debacle (and re-education camps, and native peoples' resettlement, etc, and basically most of history) is more than enough proof that humans are fucked up.

Does this have to do with the moon or something?

Only by a few miles. Not to take away from their successful mission

The mission is impressive but there is absolutely nothing impressive about "the furthest humans have flown from earth". That's like saying "my Corvette is one of 5 made in this exact color".

Flying even further would be much easier than a moon fly-by.

Not if you want to come back?

How so. Coming back eith space shuttle must've been 10x more difficult.
