NASA mission vs. celebrity spaceflight

Fair. Though it rankles that we need to do that to get the attention.

Posts express excitement about a NASA mission and contrast it with a suggested celebrity/private flight—phrases include “a rich bored guy sending Katy Perry up there” and a reply referencing Katy Perry’s song “Damn, I Wanna Fuck an Alien.” Keywords: nasa, astronauts, alien, space, bored, missions, planet, excited, laika, everything.

Any dads in the flight say something like ”we are making great time”?

Yes. There’s also a Gen-Z entirely missing the view of earth and moon ‘cos they’re on their f@cking phone!

Such a great shot. NASA is a great resource for these photos.
Keep going, girl. You're living the dream.
"Keep going, girl. You're living the dream."

the real dream in 2026 is getting as far away from earth as possible, love that for her 🙏

There are four humans, right now, who are CLOSER TO THE MOON THAN TO EARTH. This is an incredible achievement. It does feel strange to be celebrating this at the same time as destruction and despair are the main headlines here on Earth. Maybe I’m daft, but I choose hope.

El único que no sigue es Órbita Laika. Que ya se dijo que estaba cancelado. Pero todos los demás existen.

If I was up there I’d have my face glued to the window the entire time. All of the memory cards would be full and none of the pictures would even have the moon in them yet

That’s pretty awesome that it’s Reid’s camera settings (and that they have had such good photography training for this mission) rather than just processing

Everything is terrifying and uncertain, but I'm alive at a time where I can sit comfortably in my cozy bed watching a livestream of the mission to the moon and that's pretty incredible.

And we gotta shout out Victor Glover for being the first Black person to go to Luna (the Moon)! Only took about 50 years... 🙃🙃🙃

The original unadjusted/unflipped 1972 photo is below (as per NASA/wikipedia) The planet might be dying yes, but filters made it look that way, it's approximately the same in both photos (I went on a deep dive about this yesterday)

Hello, World - NASA The Earth is beautiful.

McSeeney, the tongue-in-cheek humour is lost on MAGAts and deniers. Apollo missions to the Moon left a lot of vehicles, golf balls, and other junk. And all those bouncing astronaut footprints!

Élisabeth Thible, (1757 – 1785), was the first woman to fly in an untethered hot air balloon. She was a professional opera singer, and during her first flight, sang several operatic duets whilst also feeding the balloon's firebox, dressed as the goddess Minerva. #CelebratingWomen

I'm glad we still get excited about science sometimes.

Por si no la tenéis fichada, la de la NASA es esta. Seguro que vuestro móvil es más cachas que el mío y quizá os vaya ligero. www.nasa.gov/missions/art...

She didn't even wear the firecracker bra. B-O-R-I-N-G

Like I am so glad that astronauts go up in space and send back these amazing pictures of the planet that I'm living on, because never in a fucking million years would you get me up there. Assuming I survived launch (unlikely) I would look out that porthole and just expire from wonder.

It’ll be 80 years in October since the first ever image of Earth from space, which is really not very long at all. Plenty of people will have been alive to see both of these images. We can do so much when we want to.
4/4/26, 01:07 PM
Yes the image of Earth from space is moving but I also know that this is the moment when I would probably think something like 'Wait, shit, did I lock the front door? I don't remember doing it. Is it ... yeah it's probably too late to go back. I'm gonna worry about this the whole way now.'
Y, sin embargo, la NASA ni lo menciona. La ESA es el gran pagafantas espacial

Maybe she can finally fuck an alien like in her hit song “Damn, I Wanna Fuck an Alien”

As pessoas que assistiam "Sailor Moon" quando criança cresceram e estão trabalhando na NASA.

Now how Is NASA going to share the edited, color adjusted version from 1972 and post the raw one from now on

"From NASA and something nice to wake up to: We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon."
