I still haven't got over the New Horizons photo of the far side of Pluto as it eclipsed the Sun and revealed that it has an atmosphere, and that was in 2005. FFS!!! The far side of Pluto!!!!

Well, I think it is a very “big deal” and I love it 😍

I hope Jeremy brought a mini Canada Arm and is using it as a DJ to spin some Pink Floyd.

I'm so riveted!

Even the Apollo missions?

I was teleported to a waffle house on planet GOPpsycho, thats much further.

Imagine the feeling of their perspective right now. How utterly tiny and useless and impotent a creature like trump must seem to them by comparison. Oh, to feel that majesty and wonder crushing the contempt of the orange idiot into near nothingness.

And this is a real guy and pal of Boris Johnson. 1,200 Likes. The worldwide brain rot is real folks.

So cool! But the most expensive drive-by ever. Stop for awhile. Dew drop inn.

You're right - it's not a big deal when the home planet is about to become yet another dead planet.

Well he wouldn't have doent it on anything helpful, would he!

Then put down your phone and throw out your computer. Space exploration gave you these things, and you don't want to pay for it, then show us how you do without. Honestly, just to use this washed-out argument is an insult to your own brain. Read a book.

Shit, Trumps hair is on fire?

Where did they post this?

Pretty great, huh!

They, as representatives of Planet Earth, high fived the aliens 👽 as they sailed around the Moon!!! 🌙

Thank you for using farther correctly

Paraphrase of something I just heard them say: "If you've ever seen the spotlight on the top of the Luxor hotel in Las Vegas, this is what it wants to be when it grows up."

They're safer there than we are but "no biggy"!

The way he goes from "Now there's a bright spot. There's a VERY BRIGHT spot." And then the purple light just explodes on the screen. I squealed! This is so exciting!

Kinda breaks my brain if I think about it too much. Just amazing.

Apollo 11? That wasn’t the first time astronauts orbited the moon. And they didn’t get as far from Earth then as these astronauts are now.

Le sigh.

Awesome!!! Many thanks for sharing Eric 💙 💙💙

the scale of that doesn't fully compute tbh

And humans still can't get phone service in elevators. That $25 million would have lifted so many children out of poverty. But ok.

Better that than a war that is going to make life on Earth a living hell for at least a couple of decades.

🏆

Your Bluesky handle is hilarious 👍😂

Further than any human.... that we know of....(Heh)

It’s kinda cool. I barely remember NASA and the 1970s Moon shot(s). I’ve seen a lot of things over the years. And, yes, I held my breath after take-off RIP crew of the Columbia.

So that’s a no?

How cool is that?!?! Nice to know there are still a few scientists around.

As an added bonus, they’re making Elon feel like an inadequate wannabe genius, which he is.

That’s no Moon

Little silver spray 🌙

As exciting as black and white TV.

It is SO cool!!!

But Trump sent them there . I hate it all!!

Nosy neighbour checking in: Howcome so much taxpayers' money is invested in helping Elon blow up empty rockets to disrupt air travel in the Caribbean when a legacy entity like NASA can actually send real people around the moon and back safely? Prolly for half the price.

Wow!

Must have been awfully nice to get out off Earth for awhile.

Did they have to wear the special glasses to view the eclipse? 😆

Get OUT!

Moon landing conspiracy theorists coming in 3, 2, 1…

So cool

Guess I’m the only one who isn’t excited about this mission. It feels like capitalists are just looking to plunder more resources while we kill this home.

Meh. Genocide, illegal war, and Epstein files distraction.

Thank you!

Mind blown 🤯

Da da dweeee dat Da da dweeee dat

This mission would have been planned many months ago. Also, giving a sense of wonder to people in a world that seems determined to crush it is very important. Also also, ‘we’ are not. A madman given supreme executive power to do virtually anything he wants with no repercussions is.

Wowww!!!

I so badly want one to say "Warp 6, engage"

And further away from Trump as well, the lucky bastards

Historical trivia: the first nodes of the Internet (then the ARPAnet) were connected & the first message sent on 29 Oct. 1969. Apollo 12 launched on 14 Nov. 1969. (To be extra fair, the design for the original ARPAnet called for 4 nodes, and the 4th node wasn’t actually connected until Dec. 1969.)

No phrase can make me more jealous than this one: "who are farther away from their home planet than any human has ever been".

Beautiful and amazing!

It's a great nuclear weapons platform! 😈

Earthset!

Ho hum. Must be Monday ... 🤩

Interesting time!

What a day for human space flight!

really. It's just so that we usually don't see that side so for us it seems ' dark' aka unknown. There have been landings there by China ( unmanned) recently though. But not this far out.

Amazing achievement - so proud of everyone involved! A nice diversion from the Earthly shit show we are forced to look at every day.

I just think that this is ridiculous with the world being set on fire by the man behind the flag. Granted the money saved still wouldn't go to those who need it but solidarity with astronauts instead of ego would have been nice. That and they're looking to colonize 'cuz they effed up the EARTH.

I have faith in science and human ingenuity.

We are all dreaming of going very far away from the world disorders and the so called leaders that poisoned it.
