NYT Strands Today (Game #724): The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands game number 724 are…
- PROBE
- TRAMP
- SATELLITE
- LANDER
- MODULE
- ORBITRATOR
- SPANGRAM: SPACESHIP
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
My first thought when I saw the topic was The X-Files and its motto “the truth is out there.” Of course I was wrong, but SPACECRAFT wasn’t too far from the truth.
Either way, the mystery was brief. Like many Strands players, I start in the corners and this allowed me to easily find both PROBE and ROVER, which led me to look for other pieces of space hardware that NASA might be sending on their mission to the Moon.
Meanwhile, the word SATELLITE reminded me of one of my favorite songs: A New England by Billy Bragg (although I prefer Kirsty MacColl’s version) and the lines “Last night I saw two shooting stars / I made a wish on them, but they were just satellites / It’s wrong to wish on space hardware / I wish, I wish, I wish you cared“. That song was written in the early 1980s, when there were far fewer satellites than there are today. Now, look up at the night sky and you’ll see dozens of them tracking our movements.
