The latest upgrade has resulted in an editing function that displays post titles in all caps, regardless of the case I typed (the do appear upper/lower on the blog itself). It’s extremely annoying, because I don’t know if I typed it correctly, and can’t tell until I preview or publish. I have no idea why they did this. I may look into the code to see if I can fix it, but I shouldn’t have to.

Doesn’t seem to be a browser issue. Seeing the same behavior in Chrome and Vivaldi.

Great, now blockquotes aren’t displaying properly.
So I'm having an interesting discussion with @ericgregersen about how to get someone on the moon by 2024. Easiest way to do it would be to not bring them back (at least not immediately). You want a sustainable presence, start out sustaining it.
Remove the need to return them immediately and everything gets much easier. Apollo was hard because Kennedy required "return him safely to the earth. Remove that requirement, and things can get interesting.
Basically, you'd just need to periodically resupply with food, water, LiOH, etc., just like ISS. No need to even have suits or EVA. It would be a partial-gravity research lab. Put off the rest for later. Recycling urine would be easier than ISS with some gravity.
So, how much does that change requirements? It means no need for ascent on the lander, or entry from TEI. It’s probably a Falcon Heavy mission. We eliminate the initial need for a suit, too. Hardest part would be how to resupply without EVA capability.
Could NASA do it? Probably not, politically, but a private expedition could.
