As a rule, I do not like to complete the Friday meta puzzles online. But, I was able to see what I needed to see this week. (So, I am not at sea.)

ON SHORE!

Ashore!
With the recent successful Artemis launch, NASA has shared some never before published images from the Apollo program.
Coincidentally, they've recently discovered how 97% of the moon's craters originated.

I am not tech-savvy enough to make this link work for me.
I think my devices can’t open .puz files. I guess I’ll have to wait until WSJ posts the puzzle.
Good luck to all.
Use the WSJ online form or the spreadsheet:

WSJCC - Make a Run for It - WSJ Online Form - No PDF (yet)


WSJCC - Make a Run for It spreadsheet (no PDF image)
Thank you, Joe! Your first link worked for me.

Lol! I think Mike from WSJ is asking how users here have access to the puzzle before it was made available on the WSJ site. I was wondering this too but assumed it was an open secret. Now it appears it may not be intended to be so open.

Okay, so I’m on shore. For once, I was ready and waiting for the puzzle to drop when it was “supposed” to, and … (as so often happens) Murphy intervened. Oh, well … 😜.

On Naboo. After battling with General Grievous of the Invisible Hand. Personally, I prefer podracing. :D

Think this one has the possibility of setting record for number of correct entries.

Just got home. 1/4 thru the puzzle and i'm pretty sure i'm on shore.
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

On shore also, though I hate doing puzzles online… typically screenshot the pdf and draw with my finger… then I can notate & circle & highlight to my heart’s content. Fortunately this one didn’t need any of the above, for me.

BEER. NOW.

Ashore4us. It was weird to complete the puzzle in a different format.

Count me on shore. Celebratory libation will be whatever the host is dishing out at tonight's neighborhood Bourbon Club, which we recently started to give the menfolk something to do during the ladies' Book Club.
