we got a team back to the moon, and still can't get teams or zoom to run correctly, and they're back on holy terra.

@da_667 their backhaul was fine. we were getting telemetry and fucking live highres video for 9 days of people who literally did a loop de loop around the moon.
then when they got out their nikons, and started machinegunning photos, they were able to then send those photos back to nasa via laser.
all that worked!
tcp was good, the link was good, 2500ms pingbut outlook didnt work.
meaning everything from "the moon" to "the groundstation" was 100% fine

"we see that you've been taking samples of the surface of mars. here are some reusable containers for your samples"
"we see that you've purchased a lunar orbit module. would you like to set up a monthly subscription for more lunar orbit modules?"
@paul_ipv6 @Viss @da_667 it’s a total land grab right now unfortunately ಠ_ಠ the US passed a law in 2015 giving American citizens the legal right to mine celestial bodies (the hubris here apparently went over the heads of legislators), and the race is already on. See https://www.theguardian.com/news/ng-interactive/2026/apr/01/lunar-prospectors-the-businesses-looking-to-mine-the-moon and https://nasaspacenews.com/2026/01/race-to-mine-the-moon/
At $20M/kg, there’s apparently enough money in it to be worth bringing it home and still making a profit (I remain skeptical but a Finnish company called Bluefors spent $300M with Interlune for rights to helium-3 from the moon)

@jpm @Viss @da_667 Reminds me of when I set up a fibre database on ArcGIS, the desktop was talking directly to Oracle for line segments and loading a map easily took 20k round trips to the DB to load all the layers. This took a few seconds on a wired connection, but on wifi it took like 30+s and was very noticibly laggy (which is why I loaded Wireshark to figure out what was going on) the only difference being the added latency, which just added up really fast. We ended up setting up a server with RDP so people who weren't on the LAN could have decent performance.
