I've been waiting for Randall to do a comic related to the DART mission. I think I'm going to have to be satisfied with the title text being inspired by it -- altering the orbits of the earth and/or moon would be infinitely harder.

: Whatever the old soviet joke is (probably related to the American myth that Canadian medical care takes longer?) it's behind a paywall, so no one can read it anyhow. [[Special:Contributions/172.68.66.45|172.68.66.45]] 19:58, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 
:: It's probably the one about the Soviet citizen finally getting permission to obtain a washing machine/fridge/car/whatever, but being told that it would take five/ten/fifteen years to be delivered, or so. "AM or PM?", he asks. Because, as he explains, he has the plumber/electrician/decorator/... due to start work that particular morning. (It's probably on {{w|Russian political jokes|this page}}, or a close version of it, but that's a read and a half and I think I'll go through it later.)

:: From the article:
 
::Mr. Reagan then told his current favorite [joke], about a Russian who wants to buy a car. A Matter of Delivery
 
::The man goes to the official agency, puts down his money and is told that he can take delivery of his automobile in exactly 10 years.
 
::"Morning or afternoon?" the purchaser asks. "Ten years from now, what difference does it make?" replies the clerk.
 
::"Well," says the car-buyer, "the plumber's coming in the morning." [[Special:Contributions/172.70.174.41|172.70.174.41]] 23:08, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 
  
 
though it says Black Hat is rejecting the invitation sarcastically, considering Black Hat it's also possible he's planning something else for the total eclipse, such as playing a prank on people who don't know it's coming, or messing with the meeting under discussion.  [[Special:Contributions/108.162.241.51|108.162.241.51]] 17:31, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Here’s a source for moving the Earth or the Sun requiring vast amounts of energy: [https://qntm.org/moving https://qntm.org/moving]. It doesn’t really cover moving the Moon though. [[Special:Contributions/172.69.33.133|172.69.33.133]] 02:23, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

pretty sure the explanation needs to be sanitized of invisible control characters or zero-width whitespace - there were several edits that added thousands of characters but did not result in a visually different page, and those edits were never reverted --[[Special:Contributions/172.70.115.30|172.70.115.30]] 12:43, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

Somebody should add one of those links that redirects to comic no. 2045 to avoid confusion (I'm not super familiar with Mediawiki) [[User:Mushrooms|Mushrooms]] ([[User talk:Mushrooms|talk]]) 09:06, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 
:Not as important, because just trying "2045" sends you there (where there is the {{template|distinguish}} template pointing you here), yet you have to actually try a bit to land here ''instead'' of your true intent to go there. But I just now put one here that tells you about that one, anyway.
 
:Not sure how many other comics using a <code><nowiki>{{distinguish|...the other comic...}}</nowiki></code> are similarly reciprocated on their 'less favoured sibling' without checking. Could be inconsistently done, if I recall correctly how it was recently set up as a kind of disambiguation measure.

It claims that 'The moon being hard to move' needs a citation. I know it's a joke, but I have wanted to do the kinetic energy calculations since I saw this, so I give you this: You want a citation? I'll give you a citation! [[User:SqueakSquawk4|SqueakSquawk4]] ([[User talk:SqueakSquawk4|talk]]) 15:58, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 
 
This comic should be a grand example of classical classholeism on black hats part. [[plattermonkey]]
