He's certainly a better photographer than writer, as I found that an overworked chore to read.

Honestly don't understand why this is downvoted. It's not just an opinion but the article is objectively really not that high quality. It's just that the content is exciting for some people.

BTW, this is the ninth time I have submitted this story. But I just knew it fits this audience, so I tried again. So, if you feel your submissions never make it to the front page, realize that much of it is pure chance.

This story actually was on the front page, which is also why I don't give your link an upvote. But maybe not by you. Btw retransmitting is frowned upon in most communities and can even result in bans.

Resubmitting is specifically declared welcome here. The mods not only send out invitations to resubmit, they even implemented auto-resubmit.

Maybe read at least the FAQ and the guidelines before trying to police others?

Well, I remember submissions not getting through with the error message that the link was already posted by someone else before.
