In grade school I had a teacher that didn't understand the sun was never going to be directly overhead, and kept taking us outside at 12pm to see our shadows disappear. Thank you for covering topics that are clearly misunderstood by many.

If all things go well, Indian mission Chandrayan 3 is going to be the first exploration mission landing directly into the lunar south pole region. This scheduled to happen around 23-24 August 2023.

Do you think the Artemis III mission really is the next step to lunar colonization?

I usually watch startalk 2 times. First time I am just observing how Neil talks and second time I actually listen and understand 😂
