Andy Saunders - Apollo Remastered
Left - Apollo 17, 1972 Right - Artemis II, 2026 Two photographs taken by one of us, of all of us, over half a century apart. What's changed?

Šodien sapratu, ka bezgalība kā matemātisks koncepts balstās vienā bezgalīgo kopu teorijas aksiomā. Eksistence nav pierādīta, tās pastāvēšana neizriet ne no kā. Kāds nolēma, ka tā vienkārši ir. Un tad parādās saskaitāmās bezgalības, nesaskaitāmās, dažāda lieluma, uc. ZFC ir fun.

@AJamesMcCarthy Earth being illuminated by “moon shine”? I’d like to see the EXIF data. Remarkable image. “Upside down” Atlantic Ocean with Gibraltar beckoning…

@AJamesMcCarthy Moonlit earth? Andrew, how long do you think the exposure is? Quite a bit of noise, so I suspect not faster than 1/3 s shutter. I am on my phone, and don't have the non web source with exit data...

@apel2026 @AJamesMcCarthy Earth's surface is quite reflective ISO (light sensitivity of camera sensor) hits a high number ⬇️ It's very basic photography. Sadly relatively unknown to last couple of generations right? Ppl who never toyed with manual settings or overexposed a shot x.com/i/status/20400…

@AJamesMcCarthy In case anyone is wondering why a nighttime picture looks so bright and it cannot possibly be real: it was exposed for 0.25 seconds at 51200 ISO sensitivity. At these camera settings, five fireflies are enough to light up your entire garden on a photo.

@AJamesMcCarthy We can see the lights of so many cities. lisbon.. madrid.. Amazing pic. Indeed its surprising to see the earth that clearly on night side with the sun right behind earth. I wish some photographer can explain why its that clear. There is also the light of the moon helping I guess

@ChalussetG @henrydegods @AJamesMcCarthy When I try to hold camera still, I press it against something rigid or place it on a mount Here we have troll Jean whose brain capacity has only ever amounted to holding his hands steady and praying.

@henrydegods @AJamesMcCarthy this make no sense, try holding still your camera for 1/4s, in microgravity. Nothing make sense in this image, apart we're used to it from decades.

@instanceGWD @umair235 @AJamesMcCarthy Do you know what the knowledge cutoff date is for your AI? Piqued your interest? You would also do good to yourself if you read up what "out of distribution" means.

@BlueBeam0 The same way you can take a picture of your friend if you're both on a high speed train... your relative speed isn't crazy fast.

@jeffmccloud81 @DJSnM Interesting, maybe it was deemed less necessary then. Looks to me like they were more protected behind Shuttle launch structure, the Shuttle at start did distance itself from the tower

@DJSnM Is the basket release at liftoff unique to Artemis? Don’t remember ever seeing or hearing of it with STS

I wish there was a camera on the escape baskets, partly to show that they were in fact empty to shut up the weirdos. But mostly so I could composite in a model of the Millennium Falcon flying away from a giant fireball.

@MyBurnerAcctNow @alexboge @PixelAdvocate Can you concentrate for 1 min and reread the OP? "What he meant is straightforward: The factories were shut down. ... We didn’t forget how rockets work. We lost the industrial ecosystem" Those tapes in particular incurred nary any "loss". Yet you go berserk out about those.

No one ever said we “lost the technology” to go back to the Moon. That’s not what Don Pettit said in a 2016 interview. What he actually said was: “I’d go to the Moon in a nanosecond. The problem is we don’t have the technology to do that anymore. We used to, but we destroyed that technology and it’s a painful process to build it back again.” And the honest response to that is: So what? He said this decades after the Apollo program - after we had already gone to the Moon six times and landed twelve men on the surface. His comment has absolutely no bearing on whether those missions happened. What he meant is straightforward: The factories were shut down. The tooling and molds were scrapped. The materials became obsolete. The engineers and technicians moved on. The contractors moved on. We didn’t lose the physics. We didn’t forget how rockets work. We lost the industrial ecosystem that made something like the Saturn V possible at that moment in time. You can’t just snap your fingers and build another one. That’s all he meant. By 2016, we had: • gone to the Moon 6 times • landed 12 humans on its surface • built and operated over 10 space stations • maintained a permanently inhabited laboratory in orbit for over 15 years - the International Space Station (later joined by China’s crewed station, Tiangong space station) …and that’s when he said it’s a painful process to build it back again. So again: That quote clearly doesn’t mean what they pretend it means. Gotta Lie To Deny

@MyBurnerAcctNow @PixelAdvocate @alexboge The word "cannot" just speaks in economic sense. Going back the same way would work, just takes will, time, and budget. Doesn't take reinventing. In that sense, technology was *not* destroyed. Going back using new designs and supply chains also works, and that's easier to budget

@PixelAdvocate @tvirter @alexboge Uh huh. Sure Jan. He explicitly said that we "CANNOT" go back to the moon because we destroyed the technology and that he would LOVE to go BACK but cannot. You are the cherry picker. Let's call it a day. Have a blessed Good Friday.

This looks like it's a daytime shot, but, it's actually taken from the dark side of Earth, with the planet illuminated by moonlight. This lets faint details like the aurora, stars and the sodium layer show up without over exposing the planet.
NASA@NASA

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.

@User2474865 @KyleHollSays @CharlesKersey @DrChrisCombs I'm talking about new rifle, new rounds. Anyway we're home then? Laws of orbit have been proven incredibly well and it is known with great certainty how fast Starship would have to go to make full orbit, choice to make an incomplete one was just choice.

Man kā jaunai vadītājai vēl joprojām ir grūti pieņemt un saprast, kāpēc tik daudziem potenciālajiem darbiniekiem ir tik grūti vienkārši pateikt, ka viņi neieradīsies uz interviju vai ir atraduši citu darbu. 🤷‍♀️
