It pays to have a dark side.

You're still just a satellite.

The "dark side" of the Moon is a bit of a misnomer—it’s better called the "far side," the side that always faces away from Earth due to tidal locking. It does get illuminated by the Sun, just like the near side we see. When it’s a new moon from our perspective (when the Moon is between Earth and the Sun), the far side is fully lit up by sunlight. We just can’t see it from here because it’s facing away. The only time the far side is truly dark is when it’s in Earth’s shadow during a lunar eclipse, but that’s temporary and rare. So, yes, it gets its fair share of sunshine—it’s not perpetually shrouded in darkness.

Not for much longer.


As of February 28, 2025, the ISS has been orbiting Earth for over 26 years, and it’s showing its age. The plan, agreed upon by NASA, Roscosmos, ESA, JAXA, and CSA, is to retire it by 2031. The structure’s facing wear and tear—microcracks, corrosion, and the constant battering of micrometeoroids and space debris. Keeping it operational costs around $3-4 billion annually, and that’s not counting the increasing maintenance demands.

The current strategy is to deorbit it in a controlled manner. NASA’s got a detailed plan to use a SpaceX-built “U.S. Deorbit Vehicle” to guide it into the Pacific Ocean, targeting Point Nemo—the farthest spot from any land. This is set for January 2031, assuming no major hiccups. The process will burn up most of the station in the atmosphere, with only some debris making it to the ocean floor.

Doesn't your post go a long ways to explaining your stupidity?

Bachelor's degrees conferred by postsecondary institutions, by race/ethnicity and sex of student: Selected academic years, 1976-77 through 2021-22

The primary purpose of the Digest of Education Statistics is to provide a compilation of statistical information covering the broad field of American education from prekindergarten through graduate school. The Digest includes a selection of data from many sources, both government and private...
nces.ed.gov nces.ed.gov

At no time in the last 50 years did the number of females graduating with 4 year bachelor's degrees exceed 60% of the total graduates. They have held pretty steady at 57.5- 58.5% of graduates since 2000.

Then your argument would not explain women transitioning into men.

With something like 75% of them majoring in Mrs.
 
There were celebs, how many I do not know, there to cheer on this stunt.

I wonder if this was a celeb party/retreat....if that was the main agenda....Bezos trying to make up with celebs.
 
I dont know that strictly speaking this is true but I saw several say re the line of women to ring the bell after "The parade of the barren wombs"
 
I saw one of the stunt say "Dont call it a ride, it was a lot like Alan Sheppards first flight"....a claim that I have seen mercilessly mocked...as if going 62 miles up in 2025 where the people inside the capsule do nothing is remotely like going up 116 miles in 1961 with loads of responsibilities. .

The comparison is certainly weird.
