They are using this to monitor the Earth-Moon distance right? Could that kind of experiment interfere with this research? And for bouncing do you need to be precisely aligned, is the moon motion around the Earth sufficient compared to the s

Can someone explain what do payment processors gain by this? Do they gain new clients that were against the banned business? Is it PR related to moral panic? Is it because of chargebacks? What do they risk business wise by not banning them?

Podcasts are excellent for language learning. One tool that would be very useful is a "grading" tool. Something to evaluate the level/complexity of the language used, the clarity of speech, the speed of elocution.

Another "if" I'm often wondering is about the size of the Earth. Had we shown up on something the size of the Moon or Ganymede, the amount of resources we would have had at our disposal would have been a lot smaller. We would
