“Why is it so hard to land again” is only a question if you ignore how Apollo actually worked. We did not lose the ability. We stopped funding the program. Apollo was a massive national project with 400,000 people, a blank check budget, and a Cold War deadline. When the political goal was met, the money and workforce were redirected.

Modern missions are not trying to repeat Apollo. They are trying to build sustainable systems, reusable landers, long duration habitats, and deep space infrastructure. That is a much harder engineering problem than a short term flags and footprints mission.

If we wanted another Apollo style landing, we could brute force it the same way we did in the 60s. The challenge today is not “we forgot how.” It is that we are building something bigger, safer, and meant to last. The difficulty is a sign of ambition, not evidence of a hoax.

“Show me where the Bible says the government should use my taxes to help the poor.”

This is said to me quite often whenever I post about how I believe every institution should prioritize the needs of the poor and most vulnerable among us.

So let me post a response here. (🧵)

@paolini It’s a great personal narrative about trauma, loss, and finding your place and meaning in the universe. It’s not just another space book.

[Madeline Choate @MaddyNEC]

@JackPosobiec I would read it. It’s very different from the author’s other works, however it is a great book for those who understand trauma and loss and finding one’s place and meaning in the universe.

This is Noodle. He has been a constant source of joy for millions, by sharing his prediction for the day in the form of “bones, or no bones?” Yesterday, Noodle passed away peacefully at the age of 14. He was so loved by so many. It will now and forever be… a bones day. 15/10

My brother and his wife called from their honeymoon in Hawaii to tell me “happy 5 years away from 30” so that’s cool. :p
