It would seem China has sent the Pakistani craft to the Moon, they went to hitch a ride on a Chinese Lunar probe.
Pakistan is also seen as a US ally, although it is a jihadi islamic type parliamentary republic with 98% mohammedans, there has been alleged Pakistani support for Osama bin Laden, 13 years ago in Laden was killed by by United States Navy SEALs.

an old topic
and sometimes we had analogy, Svalbard was in fact 'The Moon' and the New World was the temptation like Mars.
When the Chinese say they want to bring back a MSR before NASA people are not sure they are looking at Mars? Does nobody believe China's ultimate goal is Mars?
what if instead of going to the America's the Empires of the French, Spanish, British and Portuguese but all their effort into trying to make 'Svalbard' profitable and the Old World never sailed to? the 'New World' manned mission would only happen after they made 'Svalbard' an economic and civilization success, Svalbard the mission and the ships never brought a new culture to the Americas.

Perhaps NASA also desires a spookily quiet ability to go and make Lunar culture like Svalbard culture, prove it can be done and maybe build a ghost town on the Moon.

Landing a man on the moon before the end of the decade with Apollo but Artemis is 3 decades and more?
SLS might be done, a rocket declared extinct before it delivers all payloads, finsihed before it flies and another GAO report calls for more transparency. Europe/ESA can't save NASA they have their own problems and neither will the Japanese, forget about it. They say NASA's aspirational cost saving goals are highly unrealistic, cuts seem to arrive in the political climate. Maybe something else like MSR is likely to be cut, there are other commercial routes but the entire program is delayed so SpaceX, ULA, and Blue Origin have not delivered on time. As of this moment the SLS rocket program is the only rocket which performed a trans-lunar injection before releasing Orion, NASA officials however told the GAO that at current cost levels, the SLS program is unaffordable. Lori Garver, NASA’s former deputy administrator does not believe in the mission at all, she has talked of shipping the Moon and using Super-Heavy Lift for defending Earth against threatening asteroids and developing new propulsion technologies for the 21st century. She said that NASA decided, they would do it by their own self and thus the private sector although it potentially can deliver, Bezos and Musk had a lot less incentive to get it done quickly. On Artemis and Gateway and building a town on the Moon and using it to step to Mars she has said 'I do not see a realistic, sustainable path for this program'.
I think Artemis is already a political disaster, it has changed names but if you think about it it was born out of the mini-Bush vision but changed somewhat, even Bush had opened the door for commercialization. They will claim it is not the same goal as that set by 43rd President of the United States George W. Bush. This is still the Bush vision modified after the loss of Shuttle, Bush junior had a 'Global' idea, first fixing USA's space industry and sending the USA and this time the Western world back to the Moon, he gave NASA a new goal retire the Shuttle, finish the ISS and use the Moon as a stepping stone to Mars, launch all these other science missions while fighting wars on a number of fronts. Bush had looming recession and parts of it got cancelled, cut or modified first by Bush junior then by Obama or Trump who put their own stamp on 'Space Policy' yet the vision is almost the same, there seem to be a lot of politics placed on the program maybe rather than a White person they can have the first Moon Town founded by an islamic transexual person of color a cross between woman man like you see this quota at Hollywood Oscars, that's the political world we are in now.
There are agreements and accords signed but why would United States government and other world governments sign these complex deals with so many nations of radically different value, some partners are good and can provide tech for example Canada or Japan but the others Nigeria, Isle of Man, Ecuador, India, Rwanda? Why does NASA which can land Viking landers on Mars, build Skylab and sent probes beyond Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto need an islamist Sharia Law monarchy theocracy need to provide airlock for NASA's moon-orbiting Gateway space?
Let's look at possible delays on Earth today. If I order a product in the next 3 months in development in Canada or Germany or Japan or South Korea or France, maybe a Siemens medical software device, some Nintendo Sony Playstation thing about to be released, a French mototbike, or a South Korean digger, there is a good chance it will be manufactured on time and delivered to me on time. With world supply chains hammered and chaos and war in Arabia and shipping delayed in the Middle East what are the chances some jihadi kingdom of islamics will make an airlock or deliver that door to NASA on time?
It seems the experience of going to the Moon and experience of landing stuff on the Moon has been lost in the quest to have commercialization answer issues. Failure another Spacecraft Failure a partial failure, another Failure, Lunar Flashlight, Beresheet, EagleCam, LunaH-Map, the Japanese term Omotenashi, CubeSat for Solar Particles, Lunar IceCube, Hakuto-R, the Arab Rashid, Peregrine Mission One, these are all Lunar space junk or Earth space junk, Russia also had failure with Luna-25.

Mankind is putting a lot of expensive broken space junk on the Moon.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/odysseu … -1.7123958
He said the lander had come in too fast and may have snapped a leg.
What are the chances someone signing an agreement won't deliver on time or a country just goes away and does its own thing, signs up with Russia or China? Brazil was on the ISS for a while, it has signed new 'Space Law' with NASA / USA joining the accords but its difficult to know where they will go next, they are now part of BRICS an intergovernmental organization offering an alternative route to Pax-Americana or Britannia or the EU comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates. The USA has been trying to woo and seduce India but Hindu Nationalists play their own political game, they do their own thing including being involved in assassination inside Canada. After the Russian invasion of Ukraine sanctions were put, Japan and Australia and others are part of the Western alliance is you want to call it that, India does its own thing is willing to allow Russia to use a route to ships its oil and other commodity around the world. NASA can sign all these papers and treaty and deals and arrangements but some seem to work less well. In Europe in Asia two big players in robotic tech, the ESA and the Japanese they are ISS partners. SLS is simply too expensive, SpaceX proves the reusable launch system is the way to go the only others working on a similar system are the Chinese and there are a bunch of China companies which will be soon using inspired or knock off Space-X designs. The ESA supply spacecraft Automated Transfer Vehicle or ATV is interesting and so is the H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV) also called Kounotori, it will be interesting to see what comes to supply the Moon. However for Lunar missions the Ariane and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries H-II or H-2 are of the old 'expendable' mindset, they were good for their time but it is a dinosaur philosophy.

Some people want to test 'Cars' on the Moon. The guys designing these Lunar cities they also admit Manufacture of rocket fuel from local resources is not possible on the Moon.
He has called Gateway an 'Orbital Toll Booth' offering minimum access to the surface with 'Maximum Risks'
Will the Moon get NASA or mankind to Mars? What amazing book of information does the Moon gives us on humans becoming Martians, terraforming the landscape and a Mars colony? Maybe Titan or Europa or Venus or any of the thousands of times cheaper of the Earth Analogues or going to Mars and getting a sample can teach you more about Mars.
For example on the Moon mission what will the Moon teach you about the Solar flux reach plants and animals in a Biodome on Mars, what does the Lunar mission teach you on Aerobraking the astronautical technique used to reduce the height of spacecraft orbits by allowing atmospheric drag to slow the spacecraft's velocity?
Does landing on the Moon consume more time, energy and money or does it really provide a stepping stone to Mars?

what did they say? how did this human interpret the information and where did the message go to?
Painted images and symbols appear on cave walls and rock shelters throughout the world. But researchers have had a tough time identifying how long ago various instances of rock art were created. Radiocarbon analyses of bits of paint removed from cave paintings have yielded inconsistent results.
Aubert and Brumm’s team opted for a technique called uranium-series dating. This method estimates the time needed for mineral deposits to form and partially cover some examples of cave art, providing a minimum age for those images. Another team recently used uranium-series dating to show that cave painting began in Western Europe by 40,800 years ago.
If further research confirms that cave art appeared at the same time in Western Europe and Southeast Asia, these practices must have started in Africa before modern humans spread to Europe and Asia 60,000 years ago, Aubert suspects.
More uranium-series dates for Southeast Asian rock art are in the works. Aubert has already scouted caves and rock shelters on Borneo that contain potentially ancient paintings. He plans to do the same in New Guinea. Sulawesi contains more than 100 cave art sites, “and more are discovered every year,” he says.

News states Ukraine is in trouble, its bloody and damaged and Russia is expanding in the last few weeks they say, Russia friends with Venezuela, Iran, North Korea, Belarus, Cuba, Russia has moved into military bases in Africa where France, NATO or the USA had been. The news says the Russian Empire is back but if you look at the numbers its both who are bloody and damaged.
It looks bleak for Ukraine, while at the same time Russia has small gains but its not a positive for the Russians.
Many US soldiers died or were injured in Iraq and Afghanistan but compared to other wars the se numbers were relatively low, USA maybe a figure of 4,400+ in Iraq? in a short two year period Russia in Ukraine has lost Twenty times what the US lost in Afghanistan and Iraq over a 20 year period.
The loss of Russians compares with WW1 or almost ancient Medieval wars of mass death, the Franco-Dutch War, the damage done to the USSR during the Soviet–Afghan Wars, English French wars and Civil Wars such as Wars of the Roses, the Yemen Civil War.

A practical approach to the Mars Sample Return mission
Robert Zubrin
https://spacenews.com/practical-approac … n-mission/
NASA’s Mars Sample Return (MSR) mission has run aground, wrecked by a $10 billion price estimate, a 16 year timeline and excessive mission and programmatic risk. If the mission is to proceed, a much simpler and cheaper approach must be found.
Fortunately, such an approach is available. The current MSR mission plan is so costly, complex, and risky because it has not been approached as a mission to be accomplished as swiftly and cheaply as possible, but as an activity to be used to unify the international space exploration community by giving as many players as possible something to do. Thus the current script for MSR provides starring roles for, among others, the Perseverance mission team, the JPL Mars helicopter development team, the Mars Ascent Vehicle (MAV) development team, the many nations of the European Space Agency, the advanced propulsion community, autonomous rendezvous and dock technology developers, precision landing technologists, Mars lander developers, Mars orbiter developers, the Planetary Protection bureaucracy and perhaps even the Artemis program Deep Space Gateway program.
The way to cheapen, quicken and de-risk the mission is to cut most of this mob out of the action.
There are two ways this can be done...
I believe the same article was posted at the fornt page of the Mars society website 20 hours ago ·
he finishes the article with criticism of NASA
'NASA needs to decide whether it wants to have an effective Mars exploration program or a happily empowered planetary protection bureaucracy. It can’t have both.'
another side to this is international politics
the Chinese have public stated they plan on going to Mars with a MSR and will be getting samples back before the NASA / JPL missiom there are conflicting media reports on the China mission but it seems it could have a proposed 2030 Mission called 'Tianwen-3' after a Mars mission Tianmen-1 already at Mars, an Asteroid mission Tianwen-2 (yet to launch) and Lunar missions the Moon sample-returns Chang'e 5 and Chang'e 6 recently launched.

it is amazing how fast the internet has changed learning for those who want to learn, there are so many lessons in so many subjects, you can even turn casual watching into a form of sub conscious knowledge by acquisition of repeating sound and recognition without grammar lessons.
Languages on Mars might rise with the arrival of new people and certain community and cultures might have a natural death, among teens you can see a subculture within peoples or nations and language community, the subculture is a group of people within a cultural society that differentiates from the mainstream, they might follow their bands different to the mainstream, wacth certain movies or or have their own tribe fashions, or use different slang, mannerisms, and argot, the Punk Rockers could be classed as a Sub Culture, the Rappers or the Gamers, subcultures are often in search of what is 'Hip' or Cool, the Charleston, Blues or Swing or 'Jazz' was once a youth sub culture, it might be criticized today as no longer wanted or popular as losing its roots and now old and elitist, thr growth of cities might have expanded subculture, the urban tribe or neotribalism, through gaming and the internet subcultures expand, grow, die and get replaced by other cultures even faster, a sub culture can be a mix of many things it can be 'high culture' high art and Lowculture Art that other Artists may deem to be "inferior" youth might form their own culture outside of work, home and school, the United States culture and Hispanic culture may have similarity but their own unique differences the jocks unusual in having athletics specifically affiliated with schools, within an area for example Spain has Regional folk cultures, different languages, within each community each group of teenagers might share a similar 'sub-culture' with those of a different language and region, the Rockeros may embrace old American rock and roll and favor classic rock songs and looks, Latin America as has a dance hall culture, tradition Flamenco from the South of Spain and dances such as Salsa, Merengue Mambo, Zouk, Reggaeton, Tango, Latino culture is extremely diverse, every teen culture on Earth seem to have followers of the popular Japanese cartoon and video game cultures. Some Latin American cultures seem to follow the same music made by DJ's of North America and Europe, samples from songs, tribal, ambient classical harmony, with a funk bass line or a mixture of house and trance beats. The Spanish also had Geeks culture, the frikis a Mexican equivalent word for the nerd or geek maybe similar to the Japanese 'Otaku' gamer, an Otaku can be seen as negative a withdrawn hermit, they also had other slang or negative names applied to groups of people. Chairo feminine chaira the pot smoking gamer who wears a Che T-Shirt and holds a far-left ideology, specifically any person who thoughtlessly defends, idolizes, and fawns over a populist politician, a weed addict involved in politics with a similar to that of a religious fanatic, similar terms in other Spanish-speaking countries include perroflautas in Spain, zurdos in Argentina and comunachos in Chile
Javier Milei was seen using such slang and terms about current 'culture' before his election. He used social media as trump did to get elected and videos were widely shared on the you tubes the face books the tik toks and websites that were uniquely Spanish culture
https://www.tiktok.com/@maxvadillo77/vi … 8631665925
One of the most popular websites in the Spanish speaking world is now gone, it also was a window into popular Spanish culture and sub cultures.
Sometimes a website dies and the internet can lose something, Taringa! served the Hispanic culture, it was a goofy pop culture site like a video of the day or 9gag or cracked dot com or meme site, it had some news or politics but didn't really have much to say, it was an Argentine-based social networking, there might have been links to piracy of tv shows or music on the site. Taringa! was included by the FBI as a websites investigated for copyright infringement. In March 2024 they said the website would shut down due to changing trends in social media platforms, maybe the culture of Argentina started changing, Javier Milei the President of Argentina in December 2023, his views already changing the 2024 Argentine political landscape. The truth of it is Taringa! seemed to be in a recent decline, online Spanish news papers seemed to do ok, people had already started to move to the new instagrams, tiktoks, Anime and Gamer sites, whatsapps,

2000 Years ago one might have not guessed the Spanish would culturally take most of the world, it even spread to North America, Rome was far more powerful the center the Empire, then over time Rome expanded and collapsed but the Spanish language is from the Italic, pre-Spanish family, Latino-Faliscan, Italian, Latin, Romance family the languages are still so close they can often understand each other without having learned each other's native tongues.
Portuguese, French and Romanian are all of this family but are all national languages of their respective countries of origin.

'Anyone can learn to read and write in Korean!'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdoKOOlaRWA
Compared to Japanese or Chinese the Korean alphabet, known as Hangul the modern official writing system is far more easy to learn, it uses 24 basic letters: 14 consonant sound letters and 10 vowel letters but then combos stacked on top of each other or or next to each other, complex letters that are formed by combining far less complex than Chinese or Japanese .
Japan is a different country sometimes considered 'The West' sometimes not Shinto is popular in Japan, many in Japan perhaps close to half of the population as Shinto followers or another half identify as followers of Buddhism. However depending on how you might ask a question they might respond they are Atheists or follow a Spiritual superstition way? Christianity has been in Japan but is a minority religion, there are much larger Christian populations in South Korea in Japan Christianity less than 1% of the population.

Trump at times seemed to lack the sleazy dealer mindset that leaders had and other nations use, when it was time to keep quiet he would shoot is mouth off, offensive at times but it was interesting to see political correctness broken.
When you see the level of human trafficking, drugs and crime coming across the border maybe some of what Trump said was correct even if it was insulting. There have been massive swings between left and right, I would hope a centrist party person would come along but the same old two are running again, its not just in the USA everywhere in the West you can see examples of the possibility of democracy eventually failing.
Trump-
quote
“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people”
because Donald Trump was so different to Oabam and said such shocking statements it was easy for a dishonest media to edit and twist his words to make them seem even worse

Plants in the Light of Ionizing Radiation: What Have We Learned From Chernobyl, Fukushima, and Other “Hot” Places?
https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/pl … 00552/full
Similar to accident sites, atomic bomb test sites offer a wide range of radionuclides and radiation levels that could be exploited for experimental tests of radiation effects on plant growth. For example the United States detonated 67 atomic bombs at the Marshall Islands and the Soviet Union tested 456 bombs in Semipalatinsk region of Kazakhstan. Vast quantities of radionuclides persist in these regions yet to our knowledge, there have been very few studies concerning the biological impacts of the fallout. Studies of organisms living in these regions could offer insights concerning evolved adaptive responses as most testing ended more than 60 years ago in these areas, or about twice as long since the Chernobyl accident which occurred in 1986.
In contrast to atomic bomb test sites and accidents at nuclear facilities, there are geographic regions where naturally occurring radiation can reach very high levels (three orders of magnitude above global mean levels), as found in India, China, Iran, Turkey, Namibia, and Brazil among others
In space, and on Mars, the radiation environment consists of the solar electromagnetic spectrum and a diverse array of charged particles from both within and outside our solar system (Nelson, 2016). Terrestrial and even low earth orbit environments are largely shielded from these sources because of the Earth’s magnetosphere and atmosphere which deflect most of the heavy ions stemming from galactic cosmic radiation. Because of this, it is extremely difficult to conduct experiments on Earth that mimic the space environment for biologically relevant time periods.

Ferns some of the oldest plants on Earth that reproduce via spores and have neither seeds nor flowers, on Earth they make a significant input to the nitrogen nutrition of rice paddies, Ferns are the national emblem of New Zealand. Lantana flowering plants are native to tropical regions of the Americas and Africa but are an introduced species of invaders in numerous areas, especially in the Australian-Pacific region, South and Northeastern part of India and Bangladesh. Pinguicula is a plant which can be used as insect pest control, commonly known as butterworts, they hey use sticky, glandular leaves to lure, trap, and digest insects, its properties were used by Scandinavians to ferment milk, Europeans applied butterwort leaves to the sores of cattle to promote healing, the plant produce a strong bactericide.

Zombie plants coming back to life
https://www.blogto.com/city/2024/04/inv … rio-lakes/
A pesky invasive plant species is wreaking havoc across Ontario lakes, and aquatic experts say its complete eradication is unlikely.
Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum) — also known as the "zombie plant" — gets its nickname from its ability to come back to life even after being severed from its root.
The plant was first found in Ontario in Lake Erie in 1961 and has since spread throughout all of the Great Lakes, the St. Lawrence River, as well as the inland lakes throughout the province.

More on 'Ivy'
In Australia Hedera helix, English ivy, European ivy, or just ivy is considered a noxious weed across southern, especially south-eastern, Australia and local councils provide free information and limited services for removal, it has invaded Canada British Columbia the westernmost province of Canada, in the United States, H. helix is considered weedy or invasive in a number of regions and is on the official noxious weed lists in Oregon and Washington.

How Much Sunlight Does Ivy Plant Need?
https://livetoplant.com/how-much-sunlig … lant-need/
Ivy plants generally prefer bright but indirect light. They thrive in partially shaded areas where they receive a few hours of direct sunlight each day, especially during the morning or late afternoon. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves and cause them to turn brown or yellow.
English ivy, one of the most popular types of ivy grown worldwide, can tolerate varying light levels. It can grow in full shade but also adapts well to partial sun conditions. However, it’s important to note that excessive shade may cause leggy growth and reduced leaf density.
On the other hand, Algerian ivy and Persian ivy thrive in bright, indirect light. These varieties prefer more sunlight than English ivy and can tolerate partial shade. While they can handle a few hours of direct sunlight, they may suffer if exposed to intense midday sun for prolonged periods.

We have probably already contaminated Mars with Microbial Life on Mars, in the past the USA / NASA or the Russian Soviets were not really aware of our modern Panspermia Theories / Hypothesis, there is theory about the worm in a Mars rock ALH84001 that came to Earth and bacteria might have survived on the Lunar missions, Streptococcus mitis on the Moon
but I don't really see the pigs being a problem in a space farm setting.
Even though we have advanced in AI and robotics, the machine or artificial intelligence is unable to do the work of a dog or guard animal. There is upkeep to keep your guard animal healthy, the Dog, the Llama, 'Donkey' is also an interesting working animal, Geese can attack hawks, Llamas can attack a Fox, farmers will sometimes use a Donkey to protect their farm, there can be debate on using males or unbred female which may be protective one Llama by itself may bond better with farm animals. The Donkey on walking on grass or soil would require hoof trimming Uncastrated male donkeys can be dangerous the Donkey can be stubborn and unpredictable but if they get angry they are known for killing wild Boars, hyena and coyote.
Escaped Pigs have done terrible damage to US crops, they do damage in other parts of the world but in space even mini pigs should be easy to control I don't think it would happen in a controlled space colony, on Earth there can be use of hunting dog for pests, Pointers are used by hunters, not to beat the boar in a battle however its purpose is to point, not truly hunt and retrieve a working animal or there is use 'bay dogs' to help the human track the wild pig, the Boar can kill a dog. The Boar can be as small as 30 kg and as big as 300 kg 66 lbs or 661 lbs, the Giant Forest Hog which African Lions hunt and kill is huge, most of the other big cats avoid it, the tusks of boars are significantly large.

There is a theory the Pig long long ago was also re-introduced to Europe and Asia from the Americas. It an be surprising looking at digs, Archaeology the study of human activity the movements of older family of hog such as the peccary or skunk pig, the Pig or Wild Boar the Razorback and wild hog are invaders they are pigs which broke out and became feral pigs or breed with other species becoming new invader boar–pig hybrids. Some of the original pigs may have come from the Americas, gone extinct but had moved to Asia and Europe and now spread throughout the Old World, the Maya kept herds of the older species Native to the Americas the Peccaries, using them in rituals and for food. I don't think Mars would have a problem with pigs, although they are adaptable and clever they are big, the domes will be small so if they escape they should be easy to catch again or kill. However if Mars has heated tunnels, stations for Trains, a Subway system with commerce, the Metro like you see in other parts of the world and if these systems have waste and trash and gathering or 'dirty' then maybe it could have small pests living inside these pipes and tunnels and gaps between structures and walls, the ant is very difficult to remove they seem to never truly die even after a colony has been found, they survive in almost all places and are found on all continents except the South Pole, perhaps far too cold, but Antarctica had a set of warmed tunnels would the ants survive? the invader might damage equipment or harm other small mammals or fish or insects, it would be organism harmful to the human concerns, rodents and cockroaches are often associated with unsanitary condition, Pests will cause issues with crops. The world's first science documentary featured cheese mites seen under the microscope it caused everyone to want to go out and buy a micorscope.

Mites are one of the most difficult animals to stop, tiny, less than 1 mm or 0.04 in the Varroa is parasite of honey bees, Australia kept them out for a time but eventually they got in, Australia has spent millions trying to remove them but with no success, the mite causes Billions of Dollars in Damage to the Australia Economy and Food Industry, with microscopes and new technology we found some mites you begin to go done as small as 500 nano meters or 1 micro meter, 3–8 μm the width of strand of spider web silk, 10 μm – size of a fog, mist, or cloud water droplet even some adult 'Mites' are as small as 100 μm or 0.004 in some of these Mite sizes are so small you can begin to compare small Mites to bigger bacterium, Mites can be carried away by the wind or piggy back and spread as they get transported by other insects, they can bring disease to humans but benefits also in composting and decomposition of decaying organic material,.
