Artemis Won The Audience. Now It Needs Program News.

Artemis II’s 149 million-view streaming record still matters because public attention is political oxygen. But this week’s follow-up coverage did not add new mission hardware, schedule, or design facts. That makes it useful context, not the lead move. NASA has an audience; the hard part remains earning the next operational update without turning enthusiasm into a waiting room.
