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.

@EnfieldM1917 @mandyarthur @grok Do tell please, ya have my attention!

@mandyarthur @grok I mean you’re asking about a puppet leader. Maybe aim higher and look into his handlers.

Hi @Grok, what's Netanyahu's real family name and why was it changed? Be very concise.

@AwakenWithJP @RealAlexJones Putin was right when he essentially said “the new US president thinks he will change the world until he becomes president and finds out who he really reports to“

1. Drinking pure water 2. Eating vegetable salad I just found out these are the leading causes of typhoid in Ghana.

Lol is he or is he not?😂

Once again, as an African, there is no hell that awaits you after death. This is your hell.

@IIhmanuel @MaameAfibaBessa @Aku__Addy 😂😂😂

@MaameAfibaBessa @Aku__Addy "Destroyed and crashed" As in she's living with disabilities now?

Misogyny is so dangerous how can you award a woman who has been with a man through his plate-washing phase a paltry 300k when he now has several empires and she’s a cofounder of one of the businesses, saying she’s attractive and can remarry, & that you’re ending divorce gains???

@KingMntungwa 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭this man as well

How is that possible🤔

Well, it's great to see more people focusing on objectively important issues. A short post on why it wouldn't really work in any practical sense. What they're calling the Odaw River (more accurately, the Odaw drainage channel) is fundamentally a combined stormwater and wastewater system built for flood control in a heavily urbanized area, not a navigable waterway. Turning it into reliable boat transport as the post suggests would face massive engineering, environmental, health, and cost barriers that no current plans or feasibility studies even contemplate. Thread on the core challenges of this proposal, backed by the facts on the ground.

@TizzyHail @insxnelyfart 😂😂😂😂

@insxnelyfart They had their formal English language from the direct sources, whereas this generation gets ours from middlemen 😂😂 you ever see anything better that comes from a middleman?

Why did Ghanaians stop speaking English like this?

Ghana is a useless, shameless, disgraceful country. Sometimes I run short of negative adjectives to describe this country. It is such a vulnerable, fragile, weak nation because its citizens and its politicians are shortsighted, immoral fools. This is a project they have spent $450m on? Does this honestly look like a $450m dollars project to you?

Circle of life: man version. 😂😂😂😂

Nope, I can't stand the newer modern look of the Mercedes Benz and BMW. How those designs are getting OKed is beyond me.

33 wasted years of progress. 33 years of painful mediocrity. 33 years of systemic failures to the point they are normalized. If you put progress and excellence in the face of Ghanaians, they would not know what the fuck it is, because that is not what they are used to. They are used to seeing piles of rubbish everywhere. They’re used to open gutters filled with filth to the brim. They are used to jumping through trotro windows to get to work. They are used to poor medical services. They are used to dusty brown roads that put pressure on their immune systems. Personally, I have never used my voter’s card, and I don’t think I ever will. Fuck your favorite political party.

@JoewackleGh Your passion for making film is admirable.

i often think about how the media can help build the ghanaian film industry beyond platforming only actors. we need time with writers, producers, editors, set designers…etc we should be able to see the industry outside of good looking people with somewhat great memory
