The moon doesn’t rotate in the same way that the Earth does. We’re always only seeing one side of the moon, which is why it looks the same from day to day. If you’ve ever heard of “the man in the moon” or that the moon has features that resemble a face, it’s because from our viewpoint the moon doesn’t seem to change and it always has the same side facing the Earth. All that changes is how it waxes and wanes, full moon/crescent moon/new moon and so on.

The dark side is just the back half of the moon that we don’t see because the moon doesn’t rotate. There’s probably not much there to interest NASA. Also, any mission that goes to the dark side will be to be hardened against the low temperature on that side.

Since it gets no sunlight from our home star Sol, it’s really really cold there. We also have no way of naturally communicating with anything on the dark side of the moon as the presence of the moon blocks comms - any mission would need to include a way to route comms to Earth so we can connect the science data. Plus most science stuff can be done on the light side of the moon just as easily. Hope this helps to explain the NASA situation.

Guess Star Wars: Galaxies wasn’t open world(s), either.

Yes. Let’s sneak away under the cover of afternoon, in the biggest car in the county.

See you, me, and Julio down by the schoolyard

Live and drink, friend.

This song gives me chills. Stan Rogers was such a talented singer/songwriter.

Boss Nass: Best Gungan or Bestest Gungan?

Trick question. The bestest Gungan is Darth Jar Jar, but he only exists in my headcanon.

Yeah… Seeing this as a retro game hurts. Also, I can’t remember if winning this cup as Yoshi is a noteworthy accomplishment or not.

Another vote for hardspace shipbreaker, though the gameplay can be a bit repetitive. If you don’t like the first ship you take apart, then the game probably isn’t for you. The Outer Wilds is a game that I’d recommend to anyone and everyone who wants a unique and positive experience.

Elliot Page is a great actor and the Darkness Outside Us was an awesome novel. I am hopeful that together they’ll do very well.

Operation Mindcrime is an awesome album that is filled with absolute bangers. It’s also exactly as relevant now as it was when it was released in 1988, which is terrifying. Still I highly recommend it. The follow up album Operation Mindcrime 2, not so much.

That’s such an Addams thing to say. I love it. And you know what? He’d absolutely kill if he played Wednesday. Guy is a talent.

Blue October: Sound of Pulling Heaven Down?
