Reply to Next month, Japanese company iSpace will become the first private company to deliver a lunar lander and commercial payload to the moon's surface. Two more private companies aim to follow them in 2023. Is this the start of a lunar economy? by lughnasadh
Wait they just announced they are landing on the moon, and they are doing it next month?
Doesn't this stuff take years and billions of dollars? Have my news apps been feeding me garbage and I'm clueless about a ton of cool shit just because the US isn't doing it?

Reply to Inadequate pollination has led to a 3-5% loss of fruit, vegetable, and nut production and an estimated 427,000 excess deaths annually from lost healthy food consumption and associated diseases, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and certain cancers by Wagamaga
What "unhealthy food" is being produced in the place of "healthy food"? I assume that all food starts out as 100% natural plants, so a loss and bees would not just affect blackberries being available at the grocery store, but also cool ranch chips.
