Prof Heino Falcke<p>Imagine you go to a Bible study and you pray for two of your church members who are astronauts and currently stuck on the international space station… </p><p>I mean, we all know one guy in our church or football club that is on the space station, right?

Prof Heino Falcke<p>It is remarkably silent about the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Odysseus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Odysseus</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/moon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>moon</span></a> lander from <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/intuitivemachines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>intuitivemachines</span></a>, however, that communication suggests that it will be shut down today, due to lack of power. At least some science experiments will not have collected any data. Going to the moon is hard and expensive. Apart from India and China the rest of the world doesn’t seem to be able to land properly on the moon (yet).<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Astrodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Astrodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Astronautics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Astronautics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/space" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>space</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/spaceexploration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spaceexploration</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://7c27f7d6-4a0b-4269-aee9-80e85c3db26a.usrfiles.com/ugd/7c27f7_357496b3ba404948ba24ad63081b5d23.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">7c27f7d6-4a0b-4269-aee9-80e85c</span><span class="invisible">3db26a.usrfiles.com/ugd/7c27f7_357496b3ba404948ba24ad63081b5d23.pdf</span></a></p>
