    He’s also a weird ass Christian who was praising all sorts o Jesus when he spoke at the JWST launch success… I mean, sure be religious whatever but at a press conference about science it seem a bit

    While the overall thrust of the actual article I agree with, I hate the title. This is clickbait bullshit that doesn’t belong here.

    Why are the samples so amazing? Are they fucking pink?

    It’s the nth article calling them some useless superlative in the headline.

      First sentence of the article:

      China recently became the first country in history to return samples taken from the far side of the Moon, a historic mission that could have profound implications on our understanding of our natural satellite’s evolution and ability to host human life.

          We… You see… Nobody’s returned samples before, so we can’t just google it. Nobody has the answer to that question

          We have to analyze the samples to say.

            Right. So how different are they really? I might not expect much of a different. Maybe gravity has compacted the surface there more? Maybe more crater impacts?

              We’re basing our knowledge of what the moon us made of from, like, 8 spots. Having a new sample from so far away will be interesting. Imagine guessing what’s on earth by taking 5 sample from random spots in Canada and then getting a new one from Australia.

              The far side of the moon is the side that will see the most asteroid hit I am guessing.
