To begin with, all images of Big Foot are blurry because laws of physics such that any camera whether old or new will automatically go out of focus or zoom way out when capturing image. Because BF doesn't wear clothes, then search images will be more blurry.

worst off, someone with a computer like the Altair 8800 with 8-inch floppys, acoustic modem and POTS, start a simulation.

About infrastructure investments, this YT video explains that cities in NA are built around cars so any public transit systems are destined to fail, https://www.youtube.com/watch?... Other videos by Not Just Bikes include why car culture has caused cities to be in debt i.e. fed and state will pay for the highways but cities have to maintain it. And suburbs are high maintenance and low tax revenue.

Getting back to EVs in WY, we see in rural areas they either drive sedans or pickup trucks. The SUV that is common vehicle in Silicon Valley are completely useless outside the big cities.

Reason we were able to get to the moon was basically resources were provided. Since then it has been extremely difficult to even talk about the moon. For space technology overall has vastly improved with amazing capabilities, so much that are humans really needed?

Issue of ventilation a good point, condo dweller here and a gas stove would not be a good fit. I see BytePusher say never seen vent hoods that vent outdoors in homes. Yep, my stove same arrangement. But then is the electric more green? Did the electricity come from fossil fuels? Not saying one is better than the other, like all engineering there are tradeoffs. But for me I prefer electric as it doesn't seem as "greasy."

I think the real issue people are missing is there are many other countries taking interest in the moon and sending spacecraft to the moon. Old guy here, I remember the days when there were only two countries that could do this. Now there are several which indicates technological capabilities other countries now have. So what does it all mean? I dunno, I guess they could have provided color but still the sharpest of that image is pretty good. Which I wonder of someone will take it to the next level and get really good photos of Apollo sites to show how the materials and equipment has withstood 50+ years of solar exposure.

At times I wonder if many elderly because of limited mobility become more lonely and more susceptible to scams. Good health practices take time but a magic pill claiming to fix ailments or offer "youth potion" can look highly desirable.

Occasionally I watch OTA TV and it seems the ads targeting old people are relentless (commercial break every five minutes) for some sort of medicine for some ailment I've never heard of.

At times I wonder what is the real "game" with NASA space programs and commercial space programs. So far the real serious space programs are communications and earth observation both weather and recon. Then there are science programs all generally funded by government which helps with jobs, show off capabilities, and basically do science (and wow has it delivered results). The human spaceflight program are generally political programs (which can be good and/or bad). While we see huge advances in commercial crew programs (funded by govt, I don't consider suborbital flights barely above 100 km a spaceflight) but at times some of these grand programs of Musk wanting to settle Mars has me thinking what's really behind it all. While Starship seems impressive and about to open a new frontier, but wait there was Howard Hughes was to open a new frontier in undersea mining with the Glomar Explorer. Reasons for that program was not apparent at first.

I had since I was a little boy. One, Santa does not experience time like we do. So that's how he can make deliveries world wide in just a few hours during the night. Two, going down chimneys... if govt officials say it's magic, then I assume it is (Santa that is, certain other people not so much). At least they don't panic and recognize Rudolph's nose instead of a missile launch.

hey! what about flying cars? need RealID to fly one of those?

I've somewhat followed ATSC 3.0, mostly watching what Tyler the Antenna Man on YT has presented. However, considering while I have cut the cord with CATV but still with Comcast for internet, I rarely watch OTA TV. It is relentless with commercials every five minutes. The new shows simply don't interest me at all, I'm an old guy who has seen enough reruns to last me a lifetime (exception of series made after 1980 which none of those interest me), local news broadcasts might be of interest but online more convenient. I probably spent more time compiling spreadsheets of local station info from internet sites to see location of transmitter sites, freq, sub-channels, etc. Techie stuff is interesting, content not so much.

ATSC 1.0 was so bad with multi-path problems, when police helicopter flies overhead the reflections knock out reception. Portable TV sets were killed by this technology. They had to skip 2.0 and go straight to ATSC 3.0 which is much improvement. I don't get why need to connect online, it should OTA (unless I'm missing something). What will kill it overall is lack of meaningful content from broadcasters.

I had impression everyone under 50 has no idea of RF devices below 500 MHz (exception of those in a job or hobby that deals with such RF gear). The statistics of nearly 90 percent of Americans ages 12 and older listened to AM or FM radio before pandemic. I wonder how much it changed after. AM radio is useful for localized traffic info and doesn't need an account or enter password to activate.

...will keep the money flowing from congress to Artemis.
