"This rocket performed its task perfectly. It launched two landers onto a lunar trajectory. The American Blue Ghost from Firefly and the Japanese Hakuto R. While the landers continued their mission, their carrier was left to the mercy of complicated orbital mechanics. "

"The probe will be launched into orbit using the Japanese H3 launch system, and MMX was originally supposed to fly in 2024. However, the schedule was shifted, among other reasons, due to technical problems with the H3 rocket. Ultimately, the faults were identified and removed, which allowed preparations for the planned launch to resume. "

"One of the most serious theories speaks precisely of the WIMPs I mentioned earlier, which in Polish translation sometimes sounds amusingly like 'mięczaki' (softies/wimps). But this acronym means weakly interacting massive particles, which are precisely these weakly interacting, yet massive particles. "

"“To explain this excess with WIMPs, as proposed in the paper, they would have to annihilate at a rate approximately ten times higher than expected... This high annihilation rate also seriously conflicts with the most robust estimates we currently have for WIMPs... If we take the signal at its face value, it calls for an alternative interpretation.” "

"When the distance between two quarks increases, the force and thus the energy of interaction also increase. If the distance/energy becomes sufficiently large, new quarks can be created. The initial two quarks will be separated, but a new quark or antiquark will appear in the partner's place. This is why quarks can only be observed in bound form, never separately. "

"The system employs five, mutually independent flotation bags. For reliability, the design includes a simple, no-moving-parts approach. Upon activation, a pressurized helium gas tank inflates the bags to provide the required buoyancy for the spacecraft. In case there are problems with the real-time telemetry stream, NASA added 12 data recorders to the test capsule. The devices will be jettisoned from the vehicle during its descent into the ocean. "
