While Apollo placed the first steps on the Moon, Artemis opens the door for humanity to sustainably work and live on another world for the first time. Using the lunar surface as a proving ground for living on Mars, this next chapter in exploration will forever establish our presence in the stars. ✨ We are returning to the Moon – to stay – and this is how we are going! Actress Kelly Marie Tran of "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" lent her voice to this project.

Exploration for beneficial progress seems plausible. The situation also seems to be that we're throwing trash into space at an increasing speed/volume much like we have the earth, waters, and air of our own planet.

Thousands upon thousands of pieces of space junk have accumulated already, large and small. Will we leave it orbiting, let it burn up in the atmosphere, or develop a method of removing it? I'd venture to guess that any or all prospects will have a downside.

Not to mention the fact that with the increasingly large space landfill we're creating, also comes the risk of collision with satellites, rockets, and/or spacecraft put into space.

Will we learn?

Much talk about inhabiting other locations in the universe takes place.

I'll send my apologies to the moon and other planets that may suffice as a livable habitat in advance —-

I'm sorry, we're coming for you. We've already destroyed what we have, now, can we stay with you for a while?

Bravo on the Quark reference.   'c;

That was a new one to me and I had to look it up. Amazing it was on at 8:30 with that cast of characters back in the 70's.

When fishing, a person ought to carry a flask of whisky in case of snakebite. Furthermore, he ought to also carry along a small snake.

Composition of imagery from the ESA/NASA Solar Orbiter and SOHO spacecraft, which captured a giant solar eruption on 15 February 2022.

The Full Sun Imager (FSI) of the Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUI) on board Solar Orbiter spacecraft captured the images of the solar disc and out into space for about 3.5 million kilometres (centre image). SOHO LASCO C2 imagery is superposed, tracing the eruption even further.

The James Webb telescope is fully aligned. NASA shared the update in a new post on Thursday, April 28. The space-based telescope will help usher in a new age for space observation. The telescope reached its final destination earlier this year. Since then, NASA has slowly been preparing it for operations. NASA will use the telescope to give astronomers access to data and observations they can't get with Hubble and other older telescope systems.
