Artemis II crew spots Gary Larson's Midvale School for the Gifted on far side of the moon in this NASA space satire.
THE FAR SIDE OF THE MOON by John Darkow, politicalcartoons.com
John Darkow's cartoon captures the Artemis II crew gazing through their spacecraft window at the far side of the moon, where craters frame an unexpected sight: the Midvale School for the Gifted from Gary Larson's The Far Side, complete with a striped-shirted figure fumbling at a 'pull' door on stairs. Tagged with artemis ii, moon flyby, far side, gary larson, nasa, space, and science, the image blends real space exploration with absurd humor. One crew member exclaims excitement, labeled with Artemis II Crew and NASA markings. This satire highlights the blend of high-stakes missions and pop culture whimsy, poking fun at what astronauts might hope to find beyond the visible lunar surface. The dry wit underscores how science fiction tropes collide with actual programs like Artemis II.
