      There was a really neat question unrelated to the article but in one of the other advertised articles on the site

      What time is it on the moon?

          Right, but like, how would you pick that time? Is it near infinite since the moon is locked? is it based on the earth's time? Where's the uhhh international dateline? Etc.

            Two years into their mission- Perseverance is still rolling- which isn't a huge surprise- it's been pretty common for rovers to last so long; Ingenuity is still flying- two years beyond it's 30 day target.

            Perseverance got a video of a recent flight- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cz6O...hannel=MarsGuy

                How it started: "The Heinlein-like privatization of space exploration will lead us into a revolutionary period of expansion and scientific advance driven forward by visionary entrepreneurs that will rival the Age of Discovery!"

                How it's going.

                  So, one failed. Big deal. The whole purpose of privatization is more opportunities, some of which will fail. But in the end, there will still be more opportunities.

                    I'm with you. This is one of the most expensive "hobbies" to have. There are still a dozen more each filling a different gap. Virgin's was a dumb design that didn't serve any market except rich as__sholes. SpaceX, even with all its warts, is one of maybe two that are filling an actual large payload market and doing it well.

                    so what? We're entering a new era in space travel. The same as what happened in the 40s for air travel. (The difference is, we're not going to be flying to the sea of tranquility F4 regional in 60 years. The time horizons are significantly longer here.)

                      I agree. However, it says volumes that one of the major players in the private arena would rather run a social media company.

                        A history of Starship tests. They are cleared for integration test Monday for the first time integrated with Super Heavy launch vehicle. Both components are reusable.

                          So uh, was that supposed to just get off the ground? That went about as well as my first mechjeb-less flight

                          Edit: LMAO the broadcasters are super awkward. THis wasn't ideal. They are smiling with their mouths but not their faces. Yikes.

                              Just call it what it was- a successful failure. It didn’t complete the mission, but it did get some useful data. Done. Failed in a good way.
