@bookbird71@DollyT222027 A very self-centered view. Just because it "annoys" a proofreader does NOT mean it annoys ordinary readers. Doctors read all sorts of things that annoy them because the science is wrong--but they still read them.
@NASAAdmin@doctrsuess Artemis 3.5 * Can we call the ISS xEMU testing Artemis 3.5? * I mean, the ISS Crew-13 crew, commanded by Jessica Watkins, is perfect for these tests, and that is the plan, yes?
It's a YOU problem.
(1) YOU were "thinking about" arrays in 2020, but YOU weren't "in a position to get serious about them"
(2) YOU didn't take their plan seriously, because YOU didn't "really bother to look up the details until much later ..."
(3) YOU are working on something better ... so why don't YOU file a patent application for YOUR invention? File fora Design Patent it's easy and cheap.
(4) YOU "considered" variations years ago - too bad YOU didn't do anything with your considerations, besides considering them.
FINALLY, put away that "principle of the thing" nonsense. This has nothing to do with wheels or screws. And NOBODY cares if YOU tip YOUR hat to them or not.
@BellikOzan@spacanpanman NO it's about YOU wanting to steal something that was created by someone else. You want it in the public domain, so you can steal it. Don't act like you're doing anybody any good besides yourself.
But life doesn't respect boundaries. Emergencies - and responsibilities - happen.
You're an attorney and a client calls you at 3:00 am because he just got arrested. Do you tell them Call me back during business hours?
You're an EMT at a hospital and there's a medical emergency starting at 4:20 pm. Do you just check-out at 4:30 and say Good luck with that?
You're a fireman helping put out a fire. Do you just say Hey guys see you tomorrow and head home?
You're a stock broker and after-hours trading is going crazy, and a client calls and wants to put in an order. Do you just say Sorry it's after hours and hang up?
If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, you will never be a successful professional. Being a professional means taking on responsibility, not trying to minimize it.
@SpaceNews_Inc Niemontal is 100% correct. The 1st landing shouldn't be on the most difficult topography, and the SLP is not the only place there's water on the moon. The Apollo 17 LMP, who landed at a very difficult site, has been saying this for years.

@BushidoCypher@CiCiYouLaterTTV Oh please. Everyone has been late for prior engagements, and everyone has worked late.
Life is what happens when you're making other plans.
