Yeah, I caught that too, but whaddya want? The youngsters have been fed the anti-capitalist pablum since kindergarten. We gotta work on that.

Well said, my friend.

How does one “SEE” anything through a dish antenna?

I believe the dish is for radioing the data stream of digital images from the lander back to earth.

The image in the article prominently features the dish antenna on top of the lunar lander, but doesn't show the actual telescope. The specs for that are here: https://app.box.com/ilox-faq

Can’t have American Exceptionalism, its not allowed.

Liberalism is truly a mental disorder. It's literally a suicidal mindset.

No, the Space Treaty is still in force for the signatories. Further - and why this will never be done by private enterprise located in one of those countries - is that any tech, and finding, and anything at all used in such a venture must be turned in its entirety over to the UN’s governing Space body.

In other words no one, no company can make a profit or use proprietary tech.

The exception is, of course, to have a company headquartered in a non-signatory country, or be a non-signatory country like China ...

Yes. And don’t forget their “People of Walmart” breeding and cloning facilities. Plus the vaults for all the gold from Fort Knox, etc. I hear the only thing they keep in Fort Knox now is the Loc-Nar.

Thanks, with all the schenes surfacing lately I’d wondered.

The most important thing for an enterprise on the Moon is, of course, weaponry.
