I know it's a nitpick, but it irks me to no end to see things like "about a tenth of one per cent (.125) of subjects". Particularly so when it's in articles submitted to sites, like Hacker News, whose audience presumably

Can someone explain the final paragraph to me? I don't see how losing $800 million while gaining $150 million is a net positive, which is what the article implies. Similarly, I don't follow how $800M can be (mere) 1% while $150M &

I read assertion after assertion and kept waiting for that 'why' from the title.

And here I was excited by the prospect of a Terraria-clone set on the moon. .... Not so much. More like a terraria clone set on an atari 2600. Terraria devs, if you're listening - moon! Lunaria! It writes itself.

The 'Lunar Surface Journal' I link to earlier has audio starting at 102:15:02 for Apollo 11, (in fact, has the descent audio for several if not all of the missions). It continues through the EVA prep and the first excursion, etc. You can't

You can read and listen along manually to every lunar surface operation at http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/frame.html . This is dozens of hours of audio (unfortunately in 12ish-minute segments). The transcript is annotated with helpful thing
