50 years ago today, the Apollo 8 crew splashed down in the ocean as the first people to successfully orbit the moon. They were also able to deliver a message of hope to the world in a year of despair. But what made Apollo 8 such a significant mission? @bcassano/apollo-8-82ba7fc3b019" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@bcassano/apol…

@ChrisFromKS @TheCinesthetic I jumped the gun here

@ChrisFromKS @TheCinesthetic He’s a big boy. He can take care of himself.

What movie is 10/10, yet hardly anyone has heard of it?

@astro_haider @TheCinesthetic Same!

@bcassano @TheCinesthetic My all time favourite

@astro_haider @TheCinesthetic I’ll remember that.

@bcassano @TheCinesthetic Operation Dinner Out ❤️❤️❤️

Men without degrees built this in 793 AD, one of the oldest cathedral buildings in Europe.

My brain is only a receiver, in the Universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength and inspiration. I have not penetrated into the secrets of this core, but I know that it exists. — Nikola Tesla

I've said before that ship captains during the age of discovery were some of the most impressive human beings to ever live. We have trouble appreciating just how unimaginably great these men were. They had to play the role of navigator, cartographer, astronomer, logistics manager, military commander, judge, police captain, diplomat, CEO, recruiter, accountant and governor, all at the same time, and all under extreme duress, out in the middle of the ocean, cut off from the rest of the world where the penalty for one wrong decision was the death of everyone on board. These are some of the most brilliant and gifted human beings the world has ever known. Nobody on Earth today can come close to matching them. They had a level of both skill and physical courage that just doesn't exist on the planet today.

@bcassano @TheCinesthetic Trash

@mymundanemind @TheCinesthetic I’m not saying anything you don’t know and I agree with you. But I kind of feel like the sequence of events throughout the plot also matters.

@mymundanemind @TheCinesthetic also the whole thing was about a mentor protege relationship and Bishop clearly was green enough to let himself get into a situation he hadn’t vetted, and risked his life to save her even after Muir told him “you go off the reservation, I will not come after you”

@mymundanemind @TheCinesthetic “Sure, I’ll stay out of your love life, Terry”

@bcassano @TheCinesthetic I watched this movie again maybe a month or two ago. Never dawned on me before that Redford and Pitt went to all that trouble for a murdering activist nutjob.

@8Comilla @TheCinesthetic So good. I picked up in many subtleties as I’ve rewatched this over the years.

@bcassano @TheCinesthetic Fantastic Movie. Robert Redford was so good…

German poet Heinrich Heine was once asked why men no longer build great cathedrals. He replied: "People in those old times had convictions; we moderns only have opinions. And it needs more than a mere opinion to erect a Gothic cathedral."

Before technology advanced, everything was art and elegance…

This belongs in the louvre. Stadium sound on the craziest moment of the tournament. Chills.
