Mars,

Spacex is a private contractor brought along by NASA to commercially provide service to space projects and development. The company is involved with the Artimas return to the moon program that will send  four people back to the moon and have two of them land.

The view that we cannot rely on the earth to preserve our species existence drives  Spacex through its founder Elon Musk. The view  is strengthened by many nations taking it for strategic purposes that would result in permanent occupation of the moon and it  used as a base to do the same on Mars.

This is incredibly expensive and dangerous . The view that we would be better served making earth a better cared for and safer place is mitigated slightly by the advance of science involved in space exploration.

Test flight number five, Starship…

The Face in the Moon

Present and looking on at us was the Moon on Friday night. In Merritt this picture was captured as it rose above Iron Mountain; the mountain is weather reference used to plant gardens in the spring.

Moon in weather

Weather lore often includes observations related to the moon, such as the belief that a ring around the moon signifies an approaching storm.I’m Additionally, folklore suggests that the moon’s appearance can provide some indication of upcoming weather conditions. For instance, a clear view of the moon could indicate fair weather, while a halo around the moon may indicate the approach of a warm front and possibly rainy conditions. While these observations may carry some anecdotal truth, it’s essential to rely on more scientific and reliable meteorological forecasts for accurate weather predictions. As such, while the moon’s appearance could be an interesting aspect of weather lore, it should not be used as the sole basis for making important weather-related decisions.

Moon appears full

The moon will usually appear full for some time after it is completely full, enjoy this special edition strawberry moon.
