> Generally speaking, such objects are very poorly tracked. Why is there not any regulations about this stuff? So we can't throw a napkin out the window (not that I condone littering), but SpaceX can just literally throw stuff into space that either re-enters Earth (adds to air and environmental issues), swings around in space untracked, or hits the Moon without any reprecussions? Why isn't it on SpaceX to track the…

I don't have a smartphone to test on. What happens without this?
You essentially see the desktop version zoomed out by default with tiny text. You need to zoom in, but the line length is still desktop sized so you need to scroll left and right as well as up and down to read it.

The main drawback with the page's unstyled design is that the page is not mobile friendly. Publishing web pages by manually editing HTML files is still very common today; any GitHub Pages blog does this.
> not mobile friendly. It’s not what I’d call mobile unfriendly either. I had to zoom in slightly but then it’s perfectly readable in landscape. Some very basic inline responsive CSS would make it work great in portrait too. But the thing is, with no ads, complex layout, or other bullshit, it’s perfectly usable on mobile as is. I’d certainly take this over any website from any major media outlet, other than those tha…

I kinda think it's more mobile friendly than desktop friendly (although it isn't great on either.) It's sorta hard to read text that spans the whole screen and at least on mobile, that's not nearly as wide.

They’re already fixed, just add the meta tag if you give the slightest semblance of a shit. Otherwise don’t and people may be less inclined to engage with your content on their phone.
Add what in a meta tag? Why should web developers change their content to work on defective browsers?
someone send them a littering bill sadly one day hundreds of years from now parts of the moon will look like all the garbage left on Everest (and maybe even the dead frozen bodies too, moon dust is sticky and very sharp apparently)
The moon is a lifeless rock with nobody on it. That seems like a better place for garbage to go than the earth. And since it's going to impact the moon at 2.43km/sec, I don't think there will be much visible stuff remaining, just a crater and some bits of aluminum. Also what's the alternative? Moon missions don't have enough extra propellant to go back to earth and deorbit. They might have enough to move to a relativ…
Wait till you find out of "Götterdämmerung"

Exactly, all the meta tag does is tell mobile browsers to follow the standard as written before they existed. They should just do that by default.

Because it wouldn’t work for every website and the web almost never breaks backward compatibility.
I love this page. Text, photos, links. Straight up HTML 4, maybe even using a template in a text editor and FTPed to go live. I didn't see any inline or referenced CSS. No scripts. No ads. No social junk. The home page even has a just like it's 1994. What are the drawbacks to reverting to this type web publishing? That's how I used to do things before publishing tools and CMS and platforms took over, but I know the s…
