There's still like 20 minutes left before it becomes not Moon Landing Day so I'm gonna fire off this take I've been marinating for awhile and hopefully it comes across coherently, but it always kind of kills me when people exclusively refer to the Space Race in terms of who "Won" whether they want to hype up the USSR or the United States because it's like.

At that point the two big post WWII superpowers have been staring at each other, finger on the button, ready to trigger global nuclear annihilation at a moment's notice. Every day, for like a decade this is the case.

And in the middle of it all you have the space agencies for these two countries in what can be charitably called a friendly competition. Kicked off by JFK and his talk about What If The USSR Militarizes Space yes, but certainly not hostile to each other. We all share that ballpoint pen vs. pencil story without mentioning the USSR eventually got the tech from the US to use in their space capsules after a fire. Hell, they congratulated NASA when Niel Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon.

And like, this continued through to today when the mere suggestion from Putin's government that the Russian space agency wouldn't collaborate with NASA was met with shocked gasps worldwide.

And I dunno, I feel like the fact that in at least one aspect of the cold war, the eternal rivalry of the US and Russia, that our space agencies were then and are now friendly towards each other in the shared interest of space exploration in spite of any political differences is a lot more compelling then wanking off about who did what first

i was born on the moon cause niel armstrong was pregnant but he left me there. had to walk all the way back

[soup-mother]

Here's what I've been up to outside of tumblr the past two weeks! As many of you know I've been quiet here for a few months. Outside of an animation I'm doing for a charity, I've been working with someone who wants to make a children's book about historical figures who overcame adversity. We've gotten pretty far with the Niel Armstrong page, and I just submitted the concepts for a few other figures. I hope you like them!

it's so funny seeing old media where people say "no one remembers the name of the SECOND man on the moon..." like I was watching something where ppl said that and me and my partner immediately said "Buzz Aldrin" in sync and then spent 2 or 3 full minutes saying "ma... arm.... alexander.... muh... Alex ma.... goddamn well it's not Valentina Tereshkova..." to try and remember.... armstrong. Paul? NIEL Armstrong's name. like really. first second does not matter.

[magnificentmuses]

"I shouldn't be surprised that these exist, but here I am, surprised that they exist."

"Anyway here you go, Clowpi. Happy Valentine's Day to you and all the Lunarians that you piss off by reminding them of their humiliating loss to Niel Armstrong."

"Heh. Yet more proof that America is number 1. No other country would have the audacity to have chocolates made in the shape of their flag. Suck it." Clownpiece you aren't even American, shut up.

[lorddeathofmurdermountain]

He's him. He's the coolest astronaut since Buzz Aldrin and Niel Armstrong.

I benefitted from a set of Britannica Encyclopedias when I was learning American History at St. Mike’s and Linsly because those volumes expanded on the information included in the textbooks we read at the time. I learned much more about the Cold War, Vietnam, the Middle East, Henry Ford, Johnny Unitas, Niel Armstrong, and the actors on M#A#S#H thanks to the folks from the encyclopedia company, and hopefully people these days are using legitimate web sites when conducting similar research. Makes me wonder how historians will view this recent General Election cycle – and the reaction to the results – 10 or 20 or 50 years from now. Will President Donald Trump’s return to the Oval Office be portrayed as the country’s greatest political comeback or as a national tragedy? What about President Joe Biden? Is his once bright-and-shiny legacy as a federal lawmaker and public servant now tarnished forever, or will he be justifiably pardoned as a normal human simply suffering cognitive decline? How will the story sound concerning Vice President Kamala Harris, her presidential campaign, and the finger-pointing that’s taken place all week since the 270th Electoral College vote was awarded to Trump? What will future historians do with Oprah and the paid-for extremism she revealed when telling people attending a rally in Philadelphia on November 4th, “If we don’t show up tomorrow, it is entirely possible that we will not have the opportunity to ever cast a ballot again.” … Wow. How will W.Va. Del. Shawn Fluharty’s convincing victory over a huge Trump supporter in District 5 be described after he was the only Democrat to win a legislative seat in the entire Northern Panhandle? Will 1-percenters Mark Cuban, the liberal, and Elon Musk, the conservative, ever speak again after the billionaires battled back and forth on X (formerly known as Twitter) during the last few months of election season? What will the future think about the national entertainment news networks of today once they realize the bias deployed by the likes of Fox News and CNN? As the saying goes, “time will tell,” and that’s because we’ll need to see how it all plays out after one of the nastiest election cycles in modern history. Some say social media made it worse, but all those platforms only communicate what we make them. Nope, that part is on us, and we know that now. Read the full article
