That's ... one way to slant it.
Sure, we don't have access to the same materials. (We're not going to use asbestos now.) And we don't have people with the same skills.
But we also have better materials and alternative skills. 10 years ago, Pratt & Whitney Aerodyne designed the F-1B (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocketdyne_F-1#F-1B_booster ) based on the F-1 engine, but using a better design and more advanced construction techniques. The design estimate was an engine 15% more powerful than the most advanced Apollo-era engine, cheaper to build, and more reliable.
See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovD0aLdRUs0 for the slant I prefer.
The reason why we don't send people to the moon is there's no good reason which justifies the cost, both in human lives and financial.

The mycologist must have found something good!

Looks like I could stick my hand through the bottom and be able to catch a falling plate.
Maybe I should go there and try! Checking ... Err, no. At almost $5,000 and 30 hours of travel to fly to Xi'an it's rather out of my league. (I honestly didn't expect it to be *that* expensive.)

"Damn, it just keeps coming."

The characterization "the first computer bug was quite literally a bug" isn't quite correct. "Bug" was used in the Mark I, before the famous bug mentioned here. See https://chsi.harvard.edu/harvard-ibm-mark-1-language. Also, Hopper's oral account at https://archive.org/details/podcast_from-archives_grace-hopper-howard-aiken-th_1000425230042 says it was a man who taped the moth into the computer’s logbook. ("the operator got a pair of tweezers ... and below it he wrote “First actual case of bug being found.”)

I have a hard time not interpreting it as an infrared photograph. Researching now, Kodak Aerochrome gave the distinctive pink color I'm thinking of. Wikipedia has an example.

There are plenty of people on Earth who want a sustainable city for inhospitable climates. Why not start there? Argentina pays a lot of money to keep their Antarctic colony going, for example. There's plenty of cheap land in our cold deserts, shipping is a lot cheaper, and survivability is rather higher, so I would expect sustainable cities here first, But of course, this is link is more marketecture than anything else. Sigh, I'm getting old and blasé.

A problem with that interpretation of Giovanni Stanchi's picture is that Giuseppe Recco's Still-Life with Fruit and Flowers (ca. 1670, so essentially the same time as Stanchi) shows a much more normal looking watermelon. Stanchi's watermelon looks more like modern "hollow heart" watermelons, likely due to impropert pollination. (Of course I nearly only buy mass-produced store-bought fruit and veg so have little experience with produce outside of that conformity. I'm basing my opinion here on what I've read elsewhere, not personal experience.)

Nauru also doesn't have a capital. Then again, South Africa has three capital cities, so I guess it balances out. Though not quite balanced - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_with_multiple_capitals implies there's slightly more capital cities than countries.

Firefox's "Private Window" page says: "While this doesn’t make you anonymous to websites or your internet service provider, it makes it easier to keep what you do online private from anyone else who uses this computer." 'Course, we all know that most people don't read things like that.

Stronsay, an island in Orkney. Would love to visit. Won't live there for 10 years, even for $5M - too much of a city boy to enjoy an island with ~350 people.
