Dubiousx99, 9 miesięcy temu w Japan's precision moon lander has hit its target, but it appears to be upside-down

Looks like someone missed a negative sign in the equation to account for the reverse gravity direction. /s

Or they installed an angular velocity sensor upside down. also /s

This canister opening has to be conducted under the most pristine conditions to not contaminate the sample, so this was quite the issue.

Since they couldn’t just take a circular saw and cut through it

And here I was going to suggest some WD-40 or a blow torch could help.

Sounds like the galaxy used its gas to gaslight NASA into thinking it is a galaxy

outstanding_bond, 10 miesięcy temu w NASA Selects a Wild Plan to "Swarm" Proxima Centauri With Thousands of Tiny Probes

A very cool idea, however the headline is misleading - NASA has not even remotely committed to running this mission. They’ve selected the swarm project as one of 13 projects in their innovation program and given it up to $175k to study feasibility. That’s roughly a postdoc for two years. This is far, far from committing the hundreds of millions or billions needed for the execution of this mission.

Somewhen in there are creatures we’d really get along with were it not for the 58.71M light years between our galaxies, and the unlikelihood we both exist as simultaneous civilizations.

Aww that’s cute. Barnard’s star has kind of an interesting history of exoplanet claims that were sadly ruled out after further examination. Great to hear we finally have good evidence.
