Plus because of the moon's graviational lopsidedness most things don't really like to stay in orbit for long as they keep getting dragged into lower and lower orbits.

Seems the projected 2024 landing date is becoming more and more a pipe dream

Can't wait for all the Elon fanboys to demand all Artemis funding be given to Starship.

Just a hairline crack in the foam, nothing to worry about

When will enough be enough? We've been under effective house arrest for a year now and any anti-lockdown protests are crushed by heavy handed police

It will never end, given how easy the public rolled over and let governments take away our liberties the powers at be now know they can just keep doing it and the public at large will just accept the "New Normal"
