The Space Race Is Full Of Reflective Moments

Some friends and I are watching the Artemis 2 footage on YouTube while hanging out.

Friend: “If they’re on the dark side of the Moon, how come it’s all lit up?”

Me: “Far side, not dark side. The far side is facing away from Earth, but it still gets some sun, and it still reflects a lot of that sun so it can look really bright.”

Friend: “It reflects a lot of sun, so kinda like [Bald Friend]?”

Bald Friend: “Hey! But also, fair. My head does reflect a lot of sun.”

Friend: “So, the moon is bald?”

Me: “Well…”

Friend: “The moon doesn’t have any hair, so the moon is bald!”

Me: “I mean, I guess?”
