There is a tendency among high profile agencies (#NASA, #ESA) to reduce hard content in articles, presumably to make them easily *consumable* by casual readers.
IMO, this isn't working. What's left after such reduction is mostly generic stuff, sprinkled with bits of light info, which makes all such articles similarly boring.
