This opened my eyes to much of what happened during the revolution in Portugal back in 1974 (my older relatives could not bring themselves to speak about it), and to what's going on there now.
@grb090423 yes, amazing read. The people who make the revolution in 1974 deserve to be remembered for their courage to make things right. It was an incredible achievement. Portuguese people must not forget and should honor those brave men every year. Yeah, far-right are gaining supporters, but the manifestations that occured this year, celebrating the revolutiom, were celebrated by thousands and thousands of people. We are more! And we do not forget!
25 april, always! Fascism, never again!

the chinese ambitions appear to me like a deja vu compared to the americans and sovjiets. Now all competitors swaer they come to stay on the moon. However after Apollo it was clear that mining ressources made not really sense for our earth 🤔 Sooo, have we a "lost cause "? (like in hot wars)
I get the impression some (both national space agencies and private) are planning on using the Moon as experimentation for Mars missions... assuming they can successfully land softly and precisely on the Moon first!
I wondered if Ralph was short for anything but it's apparently a standalone name. It derives from the Old English Rædwulf and Old High German Radulf, cognate with the Old Norse Raðulfr (rað "counsel" and ulfr "wolf").
NB: it's interesting to read through more current newspaper articles and the Wikipedia page which all, in one way or another, dismiss Moehanga. I shouldn't be so surprised 🙄
