Graeme MacKay's cartoon shows a group of green aliens on the moon, clearly annoyed by the approaching NASA Artemis II spacecraft emerging from blackout. The aliens, depicted with headphones, phones, and drinks, make noisy exclamations like 'Yak Yak Yak' and music notes, while a sign pleads 'Kindly Respect Lunar Silence.' One alien laments, 'So much for the peace and quiet zone!' against the backdrop of Earth. This piece satirizes space exploration's impact on supposed lunar solitude, touching on tags like Artemis, moon, NASA, aliens, quiet zone, and communication. The far side setting emphasizes the interruption of silence by human astronauts.
