Isotopic evidence for volatile loss driven by South Pole-Aitken basin–forming impact: #Moon Is Asymmetrical: eos.org/articles/primordial-im - analysis of surface samples from the Chang’e-6 mission suggests that an asteroid may have vaporized parts of the lunar mantle, suppressing volcanic activity on the farside of the Moon.

Musk makes another totally unrealistic plan. And let‘s not forget the strategy shift here: originally it was the moon, then it was Mars, now it‘s the moon again. With a rocket which still is in development.

Real conspiracies tend to come out, but some of them take a while. Information on the Iran/Contra scandal broke out about 5 years after the conspiracy started. That would have taken several hundred people to carry out, so it was somewhat hard to hide. Even so, they largely got away with it.
The moon landing conspiracy theory would have taken thousands of people, so it would have come out more quickly. Since we have an example of a real secret program of a similar scale as what would be required to fake a moon landing (that is, the Manhattan project), we know that the fake moon landing conspiracy theory is not true. (There's also the literally tons of evidence in the form of rocks and other samples, and all kinds of other ways to debunk the claim.)
Could Kash Patel's FBI have been trying really hard to entrap people into carrying out terrorist attacks in order to justify #Trump's occupation of DC? Could they have helped a guy plan an attack then just failed to arrest him? There are reasonable scenarios that fall in between malice and incompetence while still indicating some level of false flag.
Could someone have just snapped and ambushed some guardsmen without any involvement from the FBI? Yeah, totally. The US is a country full of guns with a completely non-functional mental health system. Someone coming from a country that the US destroyed, twice, could have a lot of untreated trauma. Might they see the national guard as a threat (even if that wasn't totally true)? Yeah, they were deployed to threaten people (even when they were just picking up trash). The point was to incite this kind of response. It's completely reasonable to believe that the FBI would not need to be involved at all, that this would just be the stochastic response they were looking for.
So the point here is that everything is on the table, nothing is really known, nothing should be surprising, and no matter what it's Trump's fault. This is exactly the escalation he was looking for. If he didn't get it naturally, he would also have had ways of making it happen.
He will use this in exactly the same way as the Reichstag fire, to drive a wedge between liberals and radicals. Don't fall for it.
Edit:
There are plausible reasons to not believe the official narrative at all right now, or maybe ever. The official narrative is also plausible, but there are plausible reasons to disagree with the response even if the official story is true. It is unnecessary to resort to conspiracy thinking in order to account for what happened and to disagree with the response. But it is also understandable why someone might jump immediately to a conspiracy given the circumstances.

One more #ArtemisII piece in cbsnews.com/news/4-artemis-ii- (13-minutes video and transcript) - it also highlights the renewed 'race' between SpaceX and Blue Origin for building the Artemis III lander. And falsely claims that they are the first to actually show the Blue Moon MK1: see instagram.com/p/DRVZLMkkVgO/ from last November ...

When I was a kid, I had a couple well-loved issues of G.I. Joe Special Missions, and this art from the cover of one of them was my absolute favorite. And I ran across it the other day again, and it still strikes me as extremely badass, even now. Just something about Snake Eyes scaling a wall in moonlight.

Today’s moon

A telescope view of the moon taken with a Seestar S30
The moon in the daytime above some barren trees near Þingvellir park
The moon over the Geysir geothermal area
The moon over the Geysir geothermal area

Orion will fly by the far side of the Moon
(the side that always faces away from Earth).
For ~6 hours, the crew will observe and photograph geologic features that humans haven’t seen in person since 1972.
This is the part I’m in Mission Control for! Squeeeee!

Neil Young - "After The Gold Rush" (1970)
Somehow I went all these years without acquiring this record, until today. Apparently this lp was inspired by a Dean Stockwell script for a movie that never got produced.
#NowPlaying #NeilYoung

Album cover features a black and white photo of Neil Young wearing a back pack that's in the shape of a little old lady.
Neil's handwritten lyrics to After The Gold Rush:

Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming
Sayin' something about a queen
There were peasants singin' and drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree
There was a fanfare blowin' to the sun
That was floating on the breeze
Look at mother nature on the run in the nineteen seventies
Look at mother nature on the run in the nineteen seventies

I was lyin' in a burned-out basement
With a full moon in my eyes
I was hopin' for replacement

Last night’s skies

A clear night sky with the northern lights over a grassy yard with a picnic table and a soccer goal next to a white building in Reykjavík, Iceland.
This image shows the northern lights dancing across a clear night sky above a row of warmly lit houses in a residential area. The scene is set in Reykjavík, Iceland, with a soccer goal visible in the foreground.
This image shows the moon against a dark sky, highlighting its craters and surface details.
M31 aka Andromeda Galaxy  with a bright core and faint spiral arms, surrounded by numerous stars against a dark, starry background.

An international group is organizing an observing campaign through the Citizen Science Working Group of the #LUMIO mission: LUMIO is an ESA space mission to observe lunar #impact flashes (LIFs) from space, on the lunar far side (#Geminid meteoroid stream, 13-15 Dec 2025. During the maximum of the stream, the number of visible impact flashes will be higher than during non-shower times, therefore there is a good chance of detecting at least some impact flashes.
Observations can be made using moderately-sized telescopes and a video camera. On the website lif.mi.imati.cnr.it/home_page. there are now a recording of a thorough talk about the project and its slides at lif.mi.imati.cnr.it/open_item_ and slides about the preferred analysis software ALFI at lif.mi.imati.cnr.it/open_item_ -if you want to join in the LGC please sign on by 21 November.

Lid of a pyxis decorated with a red-figure vase painting of Selene and Eos or Nyx. Selene, a girlish figure in a tied Doric chiton, her hair knotted behind, with a radiated fillet, rides on a horse side-saddle to the right, looking downwards. Her right rests on the horse's crupper, her left is hidden by the horse's neck, but probably holds the reins. Behind her come the four horses of the chariot of Nyx, each one slightly behind the other, and Nyx driving them, a winged girlish figure with a ti…
