Did We Really Land on the Moon? Apollo, Artemis II & the Wildest Space Facts You Never Learned in School

Houston, we have a podcast. This week on Tomfoolery and Hullabaloo, we're shooting for the moon — literally. With NASA's Artemis II mission launching humans toward the moon for the first time in over 50 years, there has never been a better moment to geek out on all things lunar. We put Scott in the hot seat for a rapid-fire round that has nothing to do with trivia and everything to do with what he'd actually say, do, and leave behind if he ever set foot on the moon. (Spoiler: his answer to the time capsule question might surprise you.) Then we play a few rounds of Would You Rather — Apollo-era adventure vs. modern Artemis comfort, freeze-dried brisket vs. cooking from scratch in microgravity, and a few other impossible choices. Our news desk breaks down four big stories: the real mythology behind why Apollo was named after the sun god (not the moon god — we know), and how NASA finally corrected that 60 years later with Artemis. Plus — what are the four Artemis II astronauts actually eating on their 10-day trip around the moon? The answer involves 189 menu items, 58 tortillas, five hot sauces, and a projected 43 cups of coffee. We also dig into the unsung heroes of NASA's Space Food Systems Laboratory — the food scientists at Johnson Space Center who engineer every single meal like it's a mission-critical system. And then — the Hullabaloo Debate. Sarah believes the moon landing happened. Scott... has some question. Zero punches pulled. It's history, mythology, space food, and conspiracy theories all in one episode. Buckle up.
