Honorable mention: The video was posted to https://lemmy.world/c/mealtimevideos 4 days ago: https://lemmy.world/post/4942489. I did not want to use the YouTube link as the primary link, hence reposting instead of cross-posting.

Further reading about the Lunar Crater Radio Telescope (LCRT):

They want to build the telescope on the far side of the Moon, to shield it from terrestrial (man-made) radiation. Is this premise in peril by other Moon missions? For example, do NASA or other space agencies have plans to build other bases on the far side of the moon, which could emit radiowaves which affect the LCRT?

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !mealtimevideos@lemmy.world
