FTA: "Most of us have little idea what NASA — the National Aeronautics and Space Administration — has been doing since the Apollo moon missions ended. We know it is responsible for Tang and space blankets, but what has it done for us lately?"
This is such a dumb and off-putting opening sentence that I can't imagine this was written by an adult person and passed by a real editor. The rest of the article is equally infuriating. It quite literally looks like output of ChatGPT for an article where the input prompt was to summarize a NASA press release but in a way that will be presented to gradeschool children. And poorly. Which isn't appropriate for... anybody, actually.
The real technical overview that isn't written like a middle-schooler-GPT-generated report is located here, specifically the PDF:

- leke 3y agoWikipedia says NASA was not responsible for Tang.
- BrandoElFollito 3y agoOh, we had Tang in France in the 80's but it was often eaten (by children like myself) before it made it to the glass.
