Looks like these “rocket scientists” aren’t so smart after all, and that includes those managing the one from Texas.

Why is it gold, and what is the gold material covering it?

The moon is starting to look like a dump. When is WM scheduled to send up a garbage truck?

My wife took all the covers last night, and I, too, woke up freezing.

Just how does an upside down lunar lander point its high-gain antenna at earth?

That’s the second one in two weeks...probably lunar teenagers going out “probe tipping”.

Hmmm...
On a per capita useful byte cost basis, SLIM data may be cheaper than LHD data...

Here's an interesting, concise and brief video about the use of Kapton Foil on Apollo 11. You can buy small pieces that flew to the moon on the Command Module and returned to earth.

The young lady narrating calls herself a "Space History Nerd" -- LOL. She's cute, personable, seems very knowledgable and is a great narrator with a good, tight script.

Because of Murphy’s Law, True Engineering is having 100 failures until you work out the kinks. And even then you have failures. It’s not surprising that this Lunar Lander tipped over. It’s Part of the engineering process. Always be leery when engineers say they got something to work first time…
