Magnifique impact de météoroïde filmé il y a 1 jour sur la surface lunaire, près de Bradley Valley, à l'ouest de Hadley Valley (site d'atterrissage d'Apollo 15).

Comme la Lune n'a pas d'atmosphère, tout ce qui y tombe atteint le sol, avec des vitesse de l'ordre du kilomètre par seconde !
Vous assistez, quasiment en direct à la formation d'un cratère sur la Lune, avec un impact filmé ce matin !

"The government shouldn't operate missions, they should purchase science data from missions operated by private companies" is the techbro equivalent of "The government shouldn't help the poor, that should come from churches and charities", and then people don't get help from churches and charities.

There is no deeper religious feeling than the feeling for the natural world. I wouldn't separate the world of nature from the religious instinct...I would not even object to saying that the sense of awe before the grandeur of nature is itself a religious experience.

My mate rang me last night to tell me he failed his first exam in Aboriginal music.

I said, "Didja redo it?"
