I am incredibly excited about my newest Lego build

[wallisninety-six]

For better *and* worse- 2022 was the year of “I didn’t think it would actually happen” like I didn’t think...

That Russia would actually full-on invade Ukraine

That SCOTUS would be stupid enough to actually fully strike down Roe v. Wade

That after so many false hopes that a Climate Change bill would actually pass in hellhole America

That nuclear fusion would finally be achieved

That Alex Jones would be forced to pay a billion dollars and now potentially go bankrupt after his lawyer accidentally texted out incriminating information to his opposing attorney

That Shinzo Abe would be legit assassinated in broad daylight with a homemade camera gun

That Liz Truss would fucking *tank* the British economy after *days* on the job and then leave as quickly as she destroyed everything

That Russia would be crazy enough to annex territories of Ukraine that they barely control

That Elon Musk, richest person in the world an actual real-life evil cartoon villain, would buy Twitter and absolutely destroy it and his reputation

That FTX would completely collapse in the most stupid fashion worse than Enron

That Artemis 1 actually launched and interplanetary space travel is happening

That Republicans would actually fuck up so badly and lose a midterm election they would have easily won

That Andrew Tate got ratio’d hard by Greta Thunberg an his cringey reply vid may have tipped him off to authorities because of a Romanian pizza box, confirming his location and getting him arrested

What a sight! 👀😳  On November 28, 2022, day 13 of the @NasaArtemis mission, the Orion capsule captured the Earth transiting behind the Moon as it reached its farthest distance from Earth, 268,563 miles (432, 210 km), the farthest any spacecraft designed to carry humans has ever reached

Earth seen from the Moon, by the Artemis 1 mission, in 2022

[the-yearning-astronaut]

I love a lot of things about my job but I think my favorite by far is how my coworkers blow up our team group chat with chatter and excitement about current goings on at NASA. New JWST images. New research released. We screamed and cried and keysmashed during the Artemis 1 launch.

Currently? Orion capsule splashdown.

There's just something special about having a group of people in brickspace that you can geek out with over this kind of stuff.

And you guys enjoy some photos of our travels and re-entry

223 years difference!

The Artemis images inspired some shots of the Enterprise's initial launch under Captain April

On the 20th day of the Artemis I mission, Orion captured the Earth rising behind the Moon following the return powered flyby. The 3 minute, 27 second, return powered flyby burn, committed the spacecraft to a Dec. 11 splashdown in the Pacific Ocean.
