It’s fascinating to me to learn that most of the far side of the #moon to date has been so poorly photographed, if at all.

So it’s also fascinating to me that #Artemis2 was launched during a full moon, where most of the far side would still be shrouded in darkness.

I know the mission had been delayed multiple times, but I wish they’d launch during a new moon, so we get some well-lit images of the other side.

EDIT: This isn’t accurate. The far side has been photographed quite well by Lunar Orbiters. The claim is that much of the far side has not been seen by *human eyes*.

HBO’s new Harry Potter TV series is premiering this Christmas Day. Under current plans, it will last at least a decade. The trailer looks like the original films were run through an AI generator, but quality isn’t the point. The show is a transparent attempt to induct a new generation—and market—into the lucrative fantasy world…

High speed rail in Canada is a good investment. It’s the kind of ambitious nation-building that actually makes Canada more resilient etc. No surprise, far-right Pierre Poilievre says he’d cancel it, saying it will go over budget. Spoiler—it will. Just like EVERY car highway does. But he likes those.
