The fun days of doing maintnance on site are over, most maintnance is done over SSH anyways.

Not on that rocket, and not in May (and not in 2023). Not sure what the author got mixed up there.
Artemis II is planned to send humans around the Moon and Artemis III is a planned Moon landing.

The new moon landing program, (called Artemis) currently has a working space capsule (called Orion) and a rocket that can launch it to lunar orbit (called SLS), so can send humans to lunar orbit on Artemis II.
The lander (called Starship HLS) and suits (called AxEMU) are not scheduled to be ready until Artemis III because they did not receive contracts and funding until very recently.

Ooh, they kinda dont. Alot of that is just speculation, and guesses based on the atmosphere, and chemical makeup of a planet.

Didn't the soviets also record sound from Venus when their Ill-fated probe landed there back in the day? Or is that not true?

Thats amazing but 30 minutes warning isn't gonna do our electronic and power grids much help, is it?

In May!
The only Moon-related launch scheduled for May (sort of) is Vulcan's maiden flight with the Peregrine lander (and two Earth orbit satellites for Amazon) as main payload.
No humans on board obviously. Vulcan is never expected to fly people to the Moon.

Asphyxiation mainly, combined with being cooked, and crushed or imploded. If it was immediate teleportation, you would pop and sizzle.

Is this the guy that invented pop tarts? Cuz as a lover of pop tarts I will be watching this documentary. Like when they put the frosting on pop tarts s that was other worldly. I assume that's what it has to do with space.

The article actually wasn't bad. But I do understand your sentiment. Websites like space.com should be banned from this sub, sometimes it really does feel like mods don't give a shit about quality content.

so stupid question, if you directly teleported and landed on venus without a space suit what will happen?

Rotating spacecraft that are giant cylinders. That helps with the “gravity”.
It’s a long way off but technically possible with our current tech.

Most likely well tested systems that have operated for years and bugs/flaws are more likely to have been found.
5G requires CPUs/hardware built from smaller circuits, usually 7nm. The smaller the logic gates the more senstive they are to radiation. 4G probably works better in a highly radioactive environment.
