  • Possibly, the dictionary definition in the photo didn't mention anything about UK and specifically mentions the 3rd person tenses, so I must just be confused and missing that somewhere

    NASA shows off first sample from asteroid Bennu
  • As the fartographer, master of his trade as to be colloquially recognized with the royal THE, was saying, afew years back some NASA intern was caught stealing moon rocks from the Apollo missions and boinkin' some ladies over top of them. Scandalous, but legendary. I can see the appeal

    Anon remembers a series of unfortunate events
  • ... in New Mexico? To be fair I've never been and I assume it was named such for a reason, but I just want to make sure I'm not being trolled and ask, don't they speak English there?

    Scientists confirm that the first black hole ever imaged is actually spinning
  • I thought so as well but the article says the spin doesn't match the accretion disc, I'm not sure if that's s significant aspect of the discovery possibly? I'm not well versed in relativity to be honest

    Edit: forgive me, someone below said pretty much this

    Biden administration to urge Americans get new COVID-19 boosters
  • My understanding is that this is a different "mutation" of the omicron variant, and the new booster is with the updated target but I heard it's not out until autumn, I think it's Moderna? Is developing the one I'm thinking of

    Many Americans think NASA returning to the moon is a waste of time and it should prioritize asteroid hunting instead, a poll shows
  • Hmm, I think a huge thing you've overlooked is using the moon as a staging area like maximum Derek said above. We stockpile fuel, food, etc. And maybe even begin to manufacture vessels there to save from using a vessel stressed from an earthly launch. Would make Mars trips easier, asteroid missions, the like

    Edit to add: I wouldn't be surprised if there's still some forms of metallurgy or other processes that can be discovered with a continuous scientific base on the moon, that they couldn't attempt on the ISS or replicate here in vacuum
