    time to perform ritualistic sacrifices to Artemis, Selene, Chang’e, Chandra, and whatever other moon gods i can think of for the successful landing of the VIPER rover sometime this year
    dear god this thing needs to succeed
    we aren’t sending humans back to the moon without it

    Warning the initial page twist is going to lag the hell out of your computer, and there's one spot that warrants a flashing colours warning iirc

    the tin can (starship, the most powerful rocket ever built that will eventually send humans back to the Moon and to Mars) hopped (launched successfully, reached orbit for the first time, we are so back, humans will be back on the moon before the end of the deacde)

    here's something interesting I found
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtdcdxvNI1o
    an interview with Neil Armstrong about what being on the Moon was actually like (what the sky was like, could they see stars, what did the surface look like, etc)
    interesting stuff

    ofc the saddest part was when he said that he expected to have lunar bases in the near future
    50 years later and here we are
    not even the most pessimistic people about space wouldve guessed that we wouldnt have had a base on the Moon by now



    luckily we have the Artemis Program now at least
    and China doing shenanigans on the Moon

    lots of news about china’s plans to put people on the moon today

    1. their Chang’e 8 mission (launching 2028) plans to use lunar material to build bricks in preparation to build a larger base on the moon

    2. China’s spacecrafts they’re planning to use to send people to the Moon now have names, Mengzhou (the thing they will use to go to the moon) and Lanyue (the lander)

    things are happening
    dont be surprised if china sends people to the moon before 2030
    my guess is 2029 or 2030 for chinese crewed moon landings
    things are about to get fun

    GUYS WE DID IT

    IM-1 IS ON THE MOON
    THE FIRST AMERICAN MOON LANDING IN 52 YEARS
    THE FIRST LANDING OF THE ARTEMIS PROGRAM (which will eventually put humans back on the moon AND create a permanent base there)

    WE ARE SO BACK

    so a few things
    1. china has a series of moon missions called Chang’e that have been landing on the moon (only robots, not people yet)
    2. Shackleton is a crater on the south pole of the moon that is unique because it possesses huge deposits of water ice, making it the best place on the moon to establish a permanent human colony
    3. China currently has plans to establish a base on the moon, and they do have the capability to do it

    china’s 7th chang’e mission is targeting a landing near Shackleton
    because of shackleton’s potential, this is definitely more than a just a science-focused mission

    thing is the usa also has interests of landing people near shackleton crater

    things are about to get fun

    yeah the outer space treaty isn’t gonna help lmao
    because
    1. you don’t need to claim land to establish a colony, just build something there and say “this building is mine, and due to safety concerns there is a radius 50m around said building that belongs to me” which is completely allowed under the outer space treaty because you technically didn’t claim any land
    The Artemis Accords is (i think) the only law that even talks about this and they say (i think) that a country can claim a 10m area around their habitats for safety. Only thing is China hasn’t signed the artemis accords and so isn’t subject to that number

    2. the outer space treaty was never meant to be permanent space law, it’s considered to just be a placeholder until something more serious gets put in place, so i don’t expect it to hold any weight for much longer

    3. even if people took the outer space treaty seriously there’s no way to enforce it, and a law without a way to make sure people follow it isn’t really a law

    4. China has been known to take a… unique viewpoint on laws. They’ve literally built islands in the ocean and said “hey look since I own this island my border actually extends out to here, not the internationally recognized one” and i find it extremely likely they’ll do the exact same thing on the moon (“hey look, i built another storage facility here, my colony borders are actually here”)

    5. The outer space treaty says nothing about private companies, so countries could just get companies to build stuff for them and then eventually take over (british east india company is a nice example of this from the past that i could see something similar happening with the moon)

    fun fact
    Because of the planet HATS-72 b being officially named Zembretta in 2023, there is now at least one planet for every letter of the alphabet

    There are also two planets that start with X, their names being Xólotl and Xolotlan respectively

    and theres a planet named Indépendance

    I found a cool website that has a full 3d map of the moon with real terrain taken by years of satellite data

    https://quickmap.lroc.asu.edu/layers?camera=-337370.552%2C537687.756%2C2125663.865%2C1.298%2C-0.561%2C6.283%2C2218416.976%2C60.000&id=lroc&showTerrain=true&queryOpts=N4XyA&trailType=0&layers=NrBsFYBoAZIRnpEBmZcAsiEIHYFcAbAyAbwF8BdC0yioA&proj=22

    the graphics are kind of low quality, but most of these pictures were taken hundreds of miles above the ground so its actually crazy how detailed it is
    also the controls are very finnicky so if you dont know how to move around on the moon ill help

    it has come to my attention that my last post did not in fact contain the smaller screenshot of the mariner valley image like i wanted but in fact was the full 23,000x11,000 pixels

    out of all the websites for that picture to work why planet minecraft

    anyways don’t look at my last post it’ll lag your computer really badly (i can’t delete it for this reason it keeps lagging i’ve tried like 3 times)

    this is honestly one of the funniest things i’ve seen in a while

    so there’s a company called AstroForge that is planning to launch a spacecraft called Brokkr-1 to a near-earth asteroid

    they want to go to the asteroid to mine it, to see if mining asteroids for valuables is possible (and profitable)

    the thing is, they aren’t telling the public which asteroid they’re going to
    and by doing that they’ve annoyed a lot of space nerds with too much free time (including me)

    so we’re gonna find their asteroid
    we already know a lot about it
    -the company has said it’s less than 100 meters wide, and is classified as a near-earth object (NEO)
    -it’s an M-Type (metallic) asteroid
    -they want to launch their mission in April 2024
    -Brokkr-1 will take 11 months to get there

    using this launch date and time itll take to get there, we can eliminate a large majority of the other NEOs because they’ll be behind the sun or other annoying places that make them hard to get to in april 2024
    so, we’re looking for a small m-type asteroid that will be in a good location to launch to in april 2024 with an 11-month travel time

    that leaves just 33 asteroids the company could be trying to go to, and we’re gonna individually research each of them to figure out the most likely target

    we are gonna reveal company secrets and it’s so funny to see dozens of space nerds all working together like this

    The Inner Solar System - To Scale


    This is an image I made showing every major object in the Inner Solar System to scale.
    The Solar System is divided into two categories: Inner and Outer. The Inner Solar System includes Mercury, Venus, Earth, the Moon, Mars, and the Asteroid Belt, the largest member of which is the dwarf planet Ceres (the smallest object in this image)

    All of the images you see are in true color, and what these worlds would actually look like if you were to visit them.

    They're also accurately sized

    Fun fact about the Inner Solar System: Earth is the biggest member by far. You could combine Mercury, Venus, the Moon, Mars, Ceres, and the entire asteroid belt and you wouldn't get a planet as big as Earth. Most people don't consider Earth to be that big in comparison to everything else in space, but it actually is pretty big.

    to add onto this:

    You could combine Mercury, Venus, the Moon, Mars, the asteroid belt, and every dwarf planet in the solar system (Pluto, Eris, Haumea, Makemake, and literally dozens of other dwarf planet candidates) and you still wouldnt get a planet as big as Earth

    The only way you would actually get something bigger than Earth is if you included all the moons of Jupiter

    And of all this material, the vast majority of it would be Venus and Mars. Venus alone is 80% the mass of Earth, and Mars is another 10%. That means that nearly every other object in the solar system that isnt the Sun or a gas giant accounts for less than 10% of the mass of Earth.
    Earth and Venus are gigantic
