Fifty-two years after we sent the last one, we’ve finally landed another spacecraft on the moon. I vividly remember the first time we did it. I was seven. I watched it happen in real-time from a rocking chair in our TV room. It’s one of the most vivid early memories I have. After that, it was all I could think about. For years. What was out there? What would they find?
A brilliant post about exploration and exploitation, Richard. Thanks for the heads up on streaming services - disgraceful that they can move the goal posts like this! SBS in Australia (like your PBS) has some ads now but it’s free. We avoid lots of great foreign series/movies because we hate the ads. Sounds like we might have to get used to them as we’ll most likely cxl the big mainstream ones if they more than double in price.
We already know that your average handful of lunar dirt is high grade titanium ore.
They ain't up there for coal!

It is a truly shocking money grab. That said, I can't believe that I am shocked!
