Nokia tasked with setting up the Moon's first cellular network..
- Ooooh, it can be upgraded to 5G in the future.
Good.
See how those fucking Moonians like Covid. And Bill Gates brain chips.Continuity - They better have 5G near the moon property I bought in '95BH26
- why build it on the surface, aren't satellites a thing? wouldn't that be cheaper?renderedred
- Satellites around the moon are hard, and expensive. Moon's got wobbly gravity, so satellites need to be more complex than the likes of Starlink, for exampleNairn
- Hey - whilst you're here - did you see that request for a haaretz article subscription from Beeswax earlier? Do you know anyone with one, so we could read it?Nairn
- Coronavirus-related...
https://www.qbn.com/…Nairn - please no more satellites, starlink ruins our starlightapi
- You'd not see satellites around the moon from here, unless they were huge - not sure you could even see the glint of the ISS if it were orbiting.Nairn
- See, I respect wood.. astronomy, sorry - but I'm happy for SpaceX to populate Starlink if it a) spreads internet, b) gives $$ for Starship development.Nairn
- if they succeed in creating a super-cheap platform for getting heavy shit into space, we can have a hundred Hubbles or JamesWebbs in no time.Nairn
- We can live without a perfectly unadulterated night sky if it gives us a huge gain for a few decades. Fuck it.Nairn
- The ISS can be seen with the naked eye from the Earth's surface.Continuity
- Ooooh, it can be upgraded to 5G in the future.

"NASA TO MAKE MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT OF ‘EXCITING NEWS’ ABOUT THE MOON"
"Nasa will hold a major event to announce an “exciting new discovery” about the Moon, it has said.
The space agency did not reveal details about the discovery, but said that it “contributes to Nasa’s efforts to learn about the Moon in support of deep space exploration”.
It also said that the discovery had come from the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, or Sofia."
"The event will take place at noon eastern time, or 5pm in the UK, on Monday, 26 October, Nasa said. Audio will be streamed live on its website.'

- 'Exciting news'... Nasa is learning from AppleOBBTKN
- There's a fleet of Klingon vessels massing on the far side, and they're about to bombard us?Continuity

- some of that is leaking from the craft on the way back...grafician

- That's ..er.. what the article I posted is saying, and why I posted it because it's a fucking cool image.Nairn
- have you seen the video? they basically crashed the craft into the surface of the asteroid, crazygrafician
- Plot twist: the impact of the landing altered the asteroid's trajectory, and now it's going to collide with Earth. In 2020.Continuity
- (I kid, I kid)Continuity
- @Nairn sorry thought this article was just news about the mission, didn't read it before posting the notegrafician

- Thanks Elon for caring so much about this planet. By the way...how much exhaust pollution will this rocket release during take off?utopian

- @utopian you didn't took into account the mutated bacteria they could bring back to Earth crashing the Walled garden idea we have back here on Earthgrafician
- The whole Mars program is a disaster in the making. Like man is really going to terraform and colonize Mars. Musk watched "Total Recall" one too many times.utopian
- Perhaps a base on Mars, so that mankind could use it explore our solar system and or eventually become interstellar travelers in the future.utopian
- Everything that mankind touches...it destroys in the process. Just take a closer look at our planet. Our species has only a few generations left...if lucky.utopian
- It's methane, so could conceivably actually reduce greenhouse gas. But hey, we've all got our axes to grind, no matter how irrelevantly.Nairn
- An incredible feat of engineering. People who bitch about this deserves to be left behind.hotroddy
- all the science and technology we take for granted today is a result of space exploration. from computers to phones.hotroddy
- Colonizing space is our purpose. The human mind does not accept limitations, and Earth has limits. Therefore, we have to leave to save the Earth.cannonball1978

What Would We Experience If Earth Spontaneously Turned Into A Black Hole?
Yes, we’d all die. But for 21 minutes, we’d have the ride of a lifetime.https://medium.com/starts-with-a…
