    That's fine if that's your goal, but don't expect anyone to adopt it then. 99% of people aren't flocking to video platforms for ideological nor technical reasons.

    That's not really the full story. The US didn't come up with the moon goal. It was the Soviets' plan already, which is why JFK publicly announced it in a speech: to force them into…

    It would be a tremendous amount of work, and would take years. Meanwhile, the problems are avoidable. It's not exactly the "rust way" to just remember and avoid problems, but every…
