Genuinely a better question than most people realize. Apollo 11 left a 2-foot wide panel of mirrors on the lunar surface in 1969. No power source, no wiring, no maintenance. Scientists have been shooting lasers at it from New Mexico ever since. The beam travels 239,000 miles, bounces off the mirrors, and returns in 2.5 seconds. That round trip is how we know the moon is drifting away from Earth at 3.8 centimeters per year. So yes, in a literal sense, they were checking if it would still be there. The seismometers are the part that gets wild. Apollo 12 deliberately crashed its lunar module into the surface at 6,048 km/h. Scientists expected a brief shudder. The moon vibrated for over 55 minutes. On Earth, seismic waves from an equivalent impact die in seconds. Nobody had predicted this. So NASA did it again. Apollo 13 dropped its S-IVB rocket stage from orbit. Hit with the force of 11.5 tons of TNT. The vibrations lasted nearly three and a half hours. The reason is water, or the lack of it. Earth's interior is damp. Moisture in rock acts like a sponge, absorbing seismic energy. The moon is bone dry, cool, and rigid. Shockwaves have nothing to absorb them. They just bounce back and forth through solid stone until the rock itself stops vibrating. Scientists described it as the moon ringing like a bell. The seismometers ran for almost 8 years and detected over 13,000 seismic events. Turns out the moon has four types of quakes: deep ones caused by Earth's gravitational pull, shallow ones from the crust shrinking as the interior cools, thermal ones when sunrise thaws the frozen surface, and impacts from meteorites. In 2023, Caltech reanalyzed old Apollo 17 data and found a fifth type: the lunar lander itself creaking and popping every morning as the sun heated it. Every five to six minutes, for five to seven hours straight. They went up to prove the moon was once part of Earth, measure how fast it's leaving, and figure out what's happening inside a world with no atmosphere, no water, and no tectonic plates. "Checking if it was still there" is honestly closer to the truth than most people's actual answer.

So did the astronauts just go to the moon to make sure it was still there or what was the purpose of the mission

Artemis II is a great reminder that we still don’t need Elon for literally anything.

The Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton feud has reached an Adult Swim level of non sequitur. It’s wonderful. Almost as if you asked Master Shake to book a WrestleMania main event. Genuinely do not know what happens next, and I’m not sure anyone does.

Oh, fuck off, Maxwell. Your circus clowns run their mouths nonstop maybe grow a spine and deal with it. If your AEW goons spent less time wishing injuries on other companies’ talent and stopped treating Dave Meltzer’s nonsense like gospel hype maybe the clown show would finally shut the hell up. ALOT OF US QUIT WATCHING BECUASE OF THAT CRAP so take it or leave it would love to see AEW do well if you all could dump the shit that's making it unfun to even watch.

Nothing wrong with that. It's wrestling politics at play. Been that way for 100 years. The reason this is different is because in every case, TNA gave approval and everything was worked out, including finishes. The matches were advertised. THEN when they made the call a week out for matches people were genuinely interested in, yes people have the right to express their disappointment. If you can't see that clearly, your wrestling vision is gone.
Jimmy Korderas@jimmykorderas

So TNA does not want there talent working indie shows against AEW talent and the usual suspects think that is bush league? Maybe the "Enlightened" should not comment on something they know zero about. Don't believe what you read.

dr mohan: i'm leaving the pitt at the end of the season every other doctor: mohan, are you still leaving the pitt at the end of the season because you're leaving the pitt at the end of the season? tiktok: she's not in season 3 because she's going to do a workplace mass shooting

THE PITT is not a mystery box show with puzzles you have to solve! I wrote about how some fans seem to be approach the series expecting it to be something it’s not. slashfilm.com/2142399/the-pi…
