In 2021, the Chinese and Russian space agencies forged a collaborative agreement to establish a research facility on the Moon. Recently, they unveiled plans to construct an automated nuclear reactor on the lunar surface, intended to energize the International Lunar Research Station by the year 2035. Since the departure of Apollo 17 in December 1972,
We’ve all experienced the regret of delaying action on someone special, but at least we can find solace in the fact that we didn’t wait a quarter of all time that has ever passed. This is the duration over which sexual tension has been intensifying between two slowly orbiting supermassive black holes. The eventual merging
