I find it fascinating how with cloud cover + earth curve + any combination of random angles it can be hard to tell what part of Earth your looking at. Is that Australia?

 

We always look at Earth with the same map format. Starting from North America at the top left and then so on. Throw in a different angle, starting point and some clouds for good measure and you get lost.

 

Makes me realize I dont know Earths geography as well as I might have thought I did. If I was in space trying to land in a specific spot, i might struggle :flop:

TikTok taught me a new term: "Collective effervescence" :anveeroy:

Explains why we get so emotional at concerts or in disaster areas. But also why space travel moves me so much :bradley: 

These people are on their way to the moon and why? Literally just 'cause we can go there. It's that basic human drive to explore, expand, experiment, experience, and LEARN. And when we launch missions like this our races, genders, orientations, borders, classes, differences of any kind simply do not matter.

This is a human endeavor and the best example of what our species is capable of when we decide to cooperate and create :fatcat:

I'll always love space exploration :bradley: 

It's the purest form of human experience :bradley:

Whimsical bitch

Unfortunately :bradley: 

I grew up on the space coast, I watched this thing launch from my front yard :cryga: 

I remember as a kid we had a field trip to the Kennedy Space Center and the class did a mock space shuttle launch where all the kids were assigned jobs in the control room and I was the communications officer and I got to geek out as I talked to "the media" about the process :traumatica: 

Met some astronauts that were like "woah this kid knows more than I do!" which, definitely a lie to make a little kid feel special, but man :traumatica: 

The space program keeps me in my feels :traumatica: it's the only thing I'll miss when I leave this state tbh

Me too - when they launched I literally forced my entire office to watch and some of us got emotional. And everyone was feeling SOMETHING - stress, fear, excitement, joy - it was just the coolest thing. 

long live collective effervescence :hug:
