Two Gemini. Two Apollo. The first rendezvous in space. The first around the Moon. Commander of Apollo 13. Jim Lovell passed away yesterday at the age of 97. His legacy will forever live on in humanity's return to the Moon.

Rest in peace, Commander Lovell.

Have you seen the interview where Elon Musk said Neil Armstrong didn't know what he was saying and being influenced by outside forces when he said SpaceX wasn't what we should focus on we should rely on NASA?

Well, there are two interviews one with a guy interviewer and one with a female interviewer, that's the one where he says that.

I’m not sure, if that’s a more recent one I probably haven’t. But I do remember the video of Elon crying because Neil Armstrong didn’t like him

Easily the best bit in the trouble with tribbles is when Shatner just. Forgets for a moment that he should be holding the tribble like an actual animal and tucks it under his arm. Absolutely headlocks that little fucker. They just left that take in huh.

If you have a friend that wants to vent to you but doesn't want solutions but you are a solutions-oriented person, may I suggest Silly Solutions (TM)? For instance, whenever my friend complains about the people at her job being dumb, I remind her that if only one of us had studied engineering, we could create a giant hippo robot with laser eyes to destroy them. It fulfills my need to offer a solution, doesn't violate her boundary of not wanting to problem solve, AND it cheers us both up!

the martian novel believes so strongly in hope that i never once considered that mark wouldn’t be rescued. from day 1 page 1 it was a given and i don't know why. i can't put my finger on it. i don't think it can entirely be chalked up to the humorous tone of the book bc there are tragicomedies out there that silly their way into an inevitably doomed ending. i think there's something about the book itself existing that presupposes mark's survival. even if the blurb on the back of the book is like 'will he survive?' that's not what the book is about. it's about how he'll survive. because even when he doesn't think he'll last or earth's rescue attempts blow up, we the readers just know he's going to make it. i think somehow the presupposed outcome is in the nature of a problem-solving book. i don't know how to explain this but i think andy weir's dedication to scientific accuracy is what promises mark's survival. unrealistic hope built on technical realism. you can tell he wrote the book from a framework of 'mark is going to survive. how do i realistically get him there' instead of 'would a person feasibly be able to survive on mars'. if it were less believable it would be less hopeful. can anybody hear me

Happy Birthday to Neil Armstrong on what would have been his 90th birthday.

“All his life, in whatever he did, Neil personified the essential qualities and core values of a superlative human being: commitment, dedication, dependability, a thirst for knowledge, self-confidence, toughness, decisiveness, honesty, innovation, loyalty, positive attitude, self-respect, respect for others, integrity, self-reliance, prudence, judiciousness, and much more. No member of the human race stepping out onto another heavenly body could possibly have represented the best of humanity more than Neil Armstrong did.” - James Hansen in First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong

my favorite road sign is “falling rocks” like what am I supposed to do with that. what could I possibly do to avoid falling rocks while driving 70 miles per hour through an Appalachian ravine.
