#moonlanding — Public Fediverse posts

It has been 53 years since humans last visited the Moon. This is much longer than the 4 years between the first and last Apollo missions.

apparently more than a third of #republican voters in the US are now holocaust deniers¹? and 41% think 9/11 was an inside job.

these numbers came from the trump loving, christopher rufo paying, super right wing Manhattan Institute. this is not a liberal pollster.

¹ maybe "holocaust truthers" is a more apt description but... whatever

Interesting lessons learned by Firefly's Blue Ghost lunar lander.

1) Temperature swings on the moon "were really, really crazy."
2) Geographic features of the moon also affect temperature variations.
3) Special and unique battery designs will be needed to survive at night on the moon.

Firefly is now qualifying and assembling flight hardware for Blue Ghost Mission-2, and is expecting to execute annual missions to the moon. https://www.space.com/space-exploration/private-spaceflight/we-learned-so-much-that-we-didnt-know-firefly-aerospaces-blue-ghost-moon-lander-mission-was-full-of-surprises #space #moon #moonlanding #FireflyAerospace #nasa #blueghost
