Hey, Alice, I got your message, it wasn’t a paid sub, I gave a 100+ people who were reading my blog a lot a free forever subscriptions to all content. There was email sent to each person about it but I know some people miss it. I wish Substack didn’t mark it as “paid subscriber” but something like “forever complementary”.

Thanks for letting me know. It’s very confusing and I’m grateful for the explanation.

Thank you Jos. Yes, it certainly amplified my own anxiety hackles! I hate to think a decision could be reached on this without any reference made to us ordinary people. Feel as though it should be stamped on while it is just a spark and before a full fire blazes. Thank you for reading❤️

I didn't know about 3H Alice but I have been concerned for some time with the arrogance of individuals and governments who think only of 'more, more more' whether it's selling mor stuff to us gullible consumers, drilling the earth and sea beds or sending rockets into space (it seems incessantly) to explore other planets and determine how they can benefit from them. Unfortunately it is the arrogant who win the attention of funders and decision makers, Musk being a prime example.

Couldn’t agree more and my reason for writing this lies in the fact that I don’t think many will know there’s a whole conversation taking place on mining the moon…. I think this is how these things work. Decisions are taken by the ‘money’ without any kind of public participation/vote despite the fact that the moon ‘belongs’ to each one of us. It’s outrageous and I felt sick at the thought that at some point, maybe after I’m long dead or sooner, we could see it happen. I refuse to be impotent. I want to open up the dialogue and campaign for PROTECT OUR MOON. ♥️

I am often surprised by people not knowing anything about something I have heard or read about frequently and wonder how they have managed to avoid hearing about it when it has seemed so prevalent to me. I do realise that others have busy lives and other worries and may not want to listen to depressing/worrying news.

I heard this programme randomly. Right place. Right time, sort of, and chose to write about it otherwise you may have carried on oblivious to the fact. There’s a great deal we don’t know….😂the sum of what we know will always be less than the sum of what we don’t know. Thomas à Kempis
