We haven't landed on the moon have we?

Private craft landing on the moon now. Im in the process of building one, out of an Aldi garden incinerator, a fire extinguisher, a gallon of un-leaded with a splash of castrol-R 2 stroke and a string of crowies from Staffordshire Farmers. Im looking for a volunteer cosmonaut if toure interested, whacky. One small step for man, one giant step for stoners!

You know what? I reckon that might just work.

I'm too old however to take up your kind request for volunteers.

Good luck, and don't forget the cheese......

Is the moon flat. I need to know when designing my landing gear.

You know it's bad when the Paw Patrol Weebles out-engineer NASA.

Anyone see pictures of that probe? Why was the centre of gravity so high?
 
Different stars are visible from different parts of Earth, in two very peculiar ways. First, there is the division between the northern and southern hemispheres. So, you can see Polaris, the star nearly directly above Earth's north geographic pole, quite easily in northern latitudes.


But as you travel south, approaching the equator, Polaris sinks lower and lower toward the horizon. Once you’ve crossed that boundary, you can't see it at all — it's blocked by the curve of Earth in that direction.


Similarly, as you travel south, new constellations await your delighted gaze — ones that would be completely obscured by Earth's curve if you stayed up north.


There's another trick you can play, too. If you live in an especially flat area, you'll be able to see stars down to the horizon but no farther (because Earth is in your way). But if you travel up — say, to the top of a mountain — you get a better vantage point and can see stars farther down than you could before.
