    I feel sorry for anyone thinks the moon has dust in it. IT”S LIGHT. IT IS A LIGHT SOURCE. It’s not even in our sky. The same moon and sun light up all seven heavens at the same time.

      Yes when there is waxing crescent moon, i want to sit on it

      Somebody skipped science class.

      Slipped class and smoked crack, huh?

      I feel sorry for anyone who believes this insane idea you just presented here. I would say something about your general lack of intelligence, but you’ve done a great job at that already .. and hey, you’ve clearly got a vivid imagination—too bad it’s not backed by any actual facts or basic physics. The moon isn’t just some ethereal light floating in the sky; it’s a real celestial body that reflects sunlight, like, you know, how light works in reality. As for your ‘seven heavens’ theory, I’m assuming that’s a creative take on the universe, but I’ll leave that one for your next sci-fi novel. Keep shining in that alternate reality of yours, though, where logic doesn’t apply.

      @ You can see it with your own eyes in the daylight. You can see the moon isn’t a solid material, it’s transparent. You can see the moon is half dark and half light and the sun is in front of it. Both are on top of us and earth isn’t blocking sunlight from no moon. The moon phases change daily by its own.
      You have to listen to the creator describing how he created his creation.

    Seriously, the name of the rover is an acronym for an acronym, wow

      Seems like an easy way to leave out letters to make it sound the way you want. lol. I’ll have to remember that trick.

    Until we send rovers with legs that can also roll on wheels… true navigation will be extremely limited!
    (not sure how the extra moving parts will hold up to the dust tho)

    Really hope to see us on the moon in my lifetime

    A project that needs to suffer DOGE (but won’t, because Musk makes $billions from such government contracts of dubious value).

    In the past, when Russian-US space race started, they were competing to invent a pen that would work in zero gravity. Millions were invested. Scientists were desperate: fountain pens with special inks were not working, and ball-point pens failed. Sophisticated mini pen-ink-pumps made the situation even worse.

    In search for a solution, both countries held public campaigns. And in one of the kindergartens, where the problem was presented to kids, a girl (so I was told) asked: “Why cosmonauts/astronauts won’t use a pencil instead of a pen?”

    Since then they use pencils in Space.

    Why the story? These rovers are too complicated and prone to failures, as they are tested in Earth gravity. Moon gravity is 6 times less. And maybe shovels or wells would be just a better idea.

    • @jizzlecizzle1388

      It is a myth.

      Pencils’ tip can break off, which is a hazard.

      Working in microgravity requires special equipment, especially in the harsh environment of the Moon, where the temperature swings from minus 200C, in the dark, to plus 200C, in the sun.

    Too bad there won’t be a NASA left after Adolf Musk gets through with it.

    Ever noticed they always use solar power, why not nuclear power? And the robots always seem to be very slow.

    Does this make sense, have a digging machine with solar panels, in a dusty environment. Won’t be long before the panel are covered in dust. Just brilliant.

      You realize that it’s how all our current probes work right?

    They showed where the moon landing was filmed. Someone getting fired…

    How can this robot be heading to the moon if they can’t even leave Earths orbit? Or get past the firmament? 😂😂😂 NASA ya’ll ain’t tired of lying yet?

    • @dynodyno6970

      February 24, 2025 at 1:15 am

      What do you mean leave earths orbit? The moon is in earths orbit

      Dude u know nothing about science get away from these things just get up pay taxes and sleep this is ur life

      Man has NEVER been to space and never will. Science can NEVER beat God. Jesus is Lord remember that.

    If only NASA didn’t accidentally lose all the footage, all the technical documents and all the telemetry data…

    it’s like Chinese made 20 years ago!

    Carl Sagan and Neil Tyson Degrassi have been talking about space mining all the rare earth materials which would save our planet from being stripped and destroyed. Finally getting off our butts to beat the Chinese, Russia and the middle east.
