Building a giant catcher's mitt on the moon
We really liked this piece by #JohnHawks especially covering #Indigenous cosmology intertwining the Moon with menstrual cycles, something pervasive (and we're doing more with Hadza colleagues on this).

#NASA robots Apr 29, 2025 :
• A modular system of small #robots and smart algorithms that can #autonomously assemble large-scale structures in #space
• A team of small lunar rovers designed to operate #independently, navigating and making decisions together
• A robotic arm system built for #lunar #construction tasks
• A lunar #bulldozer-dump #truck hybrid designed to mine and transport regolith

Even though we can see the moon, the moon does not make light like the sun does. In fact, what we see of the moon is how much sunlight is reflecting off its surface. How much of the moon we see is …

Simulation of the plume-surface interaction with a manufactured landing pad: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S009457652500308X?dgcid=rss_sd_all -> "The aim of this study is to develop a computational model investigating the interaction between the plume and a sintered landing surface. [...] The primary outcome is that the erosion is contingent upon the melting temperature of the #lunar landing pad and the heat flux into the pad."

The same robot dumping its massive load of regolith. Notice the dust jets that suddenly shoot out as soon as the vibrational system turns on. Dust will be the biggest tech challenge on the #Moon but it is solvable.

The #BrickLink #Designer Series 8 #contest with the #space theme ends on May 16 (voting). I love the #lunar #freight #train. It looks great and has the iconic 80s #Lego space design. It would be cool if it were available. But just take a look for yourself: https://www.brickfanatics.com/de/sechs-beste-Lego-Weltraumdesigns-in-BDP-Serie-8/
Private Japanese lunar lander enters orbit around moon ahead of a June touchdown

Wow! Did you know astronaut footprints on the Moon will last MILLIONS of years? With no wind or water, these steps are frozen in time.

La série #Lunar a une place très importante dans le cœur de @Zali_Falcam. Il a donc profité de la sortie de la remastered collection pour voyager dans le temps :
