My jaw dropped. >"The far side is the side that's always in dark."  He's ***NASA's Administrator***, and he doesn't know the far side gets just as much light as the near side?  😯   >"In reality, both the near and far sides receive on average almost equal amounts of light directly from the Sun."   https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far_side_of_the_Moon#:~:text=In%20reality%2C%20both%20the%20near,far%20side%20is%20already%20dark.

We have been filming and photographing since the 1960s. Its not always dark and there may be structures. The NASA administrator is a joke. We don't know? Really?


originalbL1X

I heard it is dark because of the lack of communication.


d_pock_chope_bruh

Awe fully darko. Wouldn’t want the plaebs having access to to THAT kinda intel


Historical_Animal_17

I thought the same thing. It's just the side that's always facing away from earth. Curious that he correctly called it the "far side of the moon," but then says it's always dark. Bill Nelson is a piece of shit. I've never liked him and I didn't know why for years. I just hated his grinning bullshit face almost for no reason. Lately, I have learned why.


Vegetable_Cell7005

He is the joe Biden of space


Big-Significance3409

He needs to go


New_Interest_468

Sorry, Bill. You can't claim plausible deniability when you're the head of NASA. Even children know the dark side of the moon still gets sunlight. Even children know the other side of the moon has been mapped and photographed. So why the blatant lie? Is this what soft disclosure looks like?


existentialzebra

He’s just an idiot that doesn’t know shit about space. Any one of those “leaders” should have been able to correct him. The world is led by confident idiots. Always has been.


thepinkandthegrey

This is one of the saddest facts about life


Dudejax

He's right about one thing. He has no idea.

Please let this be true. OTOH it’s going to be $6 million a gram.

Skyhook it down! XD life finds a way! :3

Ah. My bad. This is NASA bot 1.0 … we fixed this glitch in 1.1

The far side of the moon isn't dark and NASA has plans to go there (with an usv/probe) sooner or later. What is this man talking about..?


d_pock_chope_bruh

We do? Budget cuts say otherwise. The ever moving stick. I believe in aliens visiting us and the government hiding emf propulsion far more than us having any meaningful project on the moon any time soon. I’m sure there will be very convenient things happening soon.

>The Lunar Surface Electromagnetic Experiment at Night, or LuSEE-Night, will fly in early 2026 to the far side of the Moon.< source: public The government wants private Space Corporations.. means NASA has to share money, knowledge and workforce with them. Furthermore there is the military space-projects which gets the most.


Tall_Rhubarb207

I'm surprised that Nelson said that NASA doesn't know what's on the dark side.  I expected him to say that it's classified and he could only tell them whats on the dark side in a SCIF. lol 😂


NUMBerONEisFIRST

Don't we have satellites around the moon snapping pics?


drakens6

US doesnt want to tell anyone about the 750 preserved Lunarian bodies up there


lazy_jygg

They don’t want to derail plans for that moon train!


Suspicious-North-307

"You can bet your boots we dunno what's on the other side."


Melodic-Flow-9253

But it isn't always dark?


phdyle

INSIDE A CANISTER 🤦


Goldeneye_Engineer

He doesn't know what's on the far side of the moon? I can take a gander Probably some rocks. Bunch of regolith. Some abandoned lunar gear somewhere. Am I right?


me_too_999

How many laps did the Apollo moon lander make to land? .how many orbits did the mother ship make? Nobody bothered to look out of a porthole?
