Welding underway on Orion for Artemis mission to Moon | Technology Today | theredstonerocket.com
Welding of panels on Artemis III Orion module in Lockheed Martin section of NASA Michoud Assembly Facility on Tuesday, January 19, 2021.
At NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility, technicians from Orion prime contractor Lockheed Martin have welded together three cone-shaped panels on Orion's crew module for the Artemis III mission that will land the first woman and next man on the Moon.
The crew module's primary structure, the pressure vessel, is comprised of seven machined aluminum alloy pieces that are welded together through a weld process that produces a strong, air-tight habitable space for astronauts during the mission. The pressure vessel is designed to withstand the harsh and demanding environment of deep space, and is the core structure upon which all the other elements of Orion's crew module are integrated.

This paper does state that "elephants are aware of natural cycles, as they practice "moon worship," waving branches at the waxing moon and engaging in ritual bathing when the moon is full," but as a reference lists the work of one Ronald K. Siegel, from 1977 .
This paper lists C Clair as a reference, who in turn cites Pliny the Elder as the initial source of information. Pliny – while giving us many valuable records from just after BC turned to AD – also wrote down a lot of wildly inaccurate information for us to wade through first.
