The moon still exists even though we can't see it.
The cheese exists even though they couldn't see it.

Last night's near full moon rise...
Shot though my window so there's some ghosting. A single shot (no compositing) with no color enhancement, it really was dark orange.

For the first time in 13 years, a full moon will occur today, Friday the 13th
If you're looking for a fun Friday night, considering inviting your friends and/or resident canine over to howl at the lunar disk together

just thinking about that landing all on its own. isnt that the future of airline flight too? no need for pilots to go up with the plane. a team of 20 ground pilots can keep on top of 40 or 60 planes cruising and they can take turns as teams landing them or taking off and dealing with any big emergencies at cruising altitude.
Once "they" have sorted the datalinks for redundancy, reliability, and security, I think that it'll be found that it's cheaper to just employ pilots

They can be programmed to taxi, take off, proceed to destination, land and taxi in from an onboard computer.

Mars will be shining the brightest that it has in well over a decade and people will be able to make out certain details on the planet, said Elaina Hyde, astronomer and assistant professor at York University.
"It will appear brighter in the sky and through telescopes, we will be able to make out more features," said Hyde.
All of this is a result of Mars Opposition — a specific alignment in the solar system where Earth will be directly between Mars and the sun. Mars Opposition happens about every two years, but this year is particularly noteworthy because it's the closest the red planet can get to Earth.
"It's going to be a lot better for observing, a lot better to look at through telescopes, like our one-metre telescope on campus, and it will be very, very fun to watch at night just with your naked eye."
It's set to fully align on Oct. 13 when various details on the surface of the red planet, such as the southern polar cap and volcanoes, will be visible.
But details will start to be visible Saturday night and throughout the days leading up to Oct. 13.

SpaceX, the rocket company of high-tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, was due on Sunday to launch four astronauts on a flight to the International Space Station, NASA's first full-fledged mission sending a crew into orbit aboard a privately owned spacecraft.
The company's newly designed Crew Dragon capsule, which the crew has dubbed Resilience, was set for liftoff atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket at 7:27 p.m. ET from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla.

Resilience will dock autonomously to the forward port of the station’s Harmony module about 11 p.m. Monday, Nov. 16. NASA Television and the agency’s website are providing ongoing live coverage through docking, hatch opening, and the ceremony to welcome the crew aboard the orbiting laboratory.

It's kinda funny to compare the workload of the original astronauts to these folks. They have to touch a screen once in awhile to make it look like they are actually doing something,

After having been heavily invested in Star Trek: The Next Generation over the last month, i'd say that SpaceX has a long way to go.
But at the same time -- since before and after Apollo 11 landed on the moon --SpaceX sure makes it look easy. Plus the video is awesome! Especially during the launch as the First stage disengaged and the second stage ignited.
