G'drat, space and everything we do it in it so loving :black101:


Above: Austronaut Bruce McCandless tests his space suit's human poop capacity.

"Eat up, Jimmy. Oh, and there's this chocolate milk too."

"Chocolate milk? I didn't know we had chocolate milk."

"Yeah, or would you rather have strawberry? Just have it all and go on this spacewalk for us, okay?"

"What do you want me to do out there?"

"Oh, you know, whatever comes naturally."

Yeah, space stuff is genuinely the most badass poo poo us humans do.

The only human not in this picture, including those that have ever lived, is Michael Collins:

"Give me a moment to pop my dislocated shoulder back in place..."



I'm sitting here with my arm in a sling because I dislocated my shoulder a week ago, and goddamn, maybe mine was pretty bad but I still can't imagine popping it back in myself, let alone continue fighting afterwards.

I can tell you from experience that flying loving sucks when you're that tall, and I'm a skinny motherfucker. Even short 2 hour flights would ruin my back/legs.

Also, I'd like to introduce everyone to a nice microbiology channel called Journey to the Microcosmos. No biology background necessary. The microscopy is pretty cool and the narrator's voice is great for sleepy time. This video keeps up with the death/void trend of the last few pages.

It seems to be a fairly popular channel, so sorry if it's been mentioned before.

Wow, Hank Green sounds really pleasant when he's talking in a slower tempo rather than that superfast speech he does for his sci show and crash course videos. (Not that I hate those, btw, it's just surprising.)

I haven't seen anything about the Dutch being mad at all that she won? All I've seen is a bit of disappointment that they got second place and irritation about the lack of communication tools or something? Other than that there's just a bit of schadefreude about the second place winner thinking she won as she got over finish line and a lot of recognition of the winner's achievement.

Probably not, you can only see about 5km on earth before the curvature gets you, and mars is even smaller

e: yep "Similarly, an observer near the summit would be unaware of standing on a very high mountain, as the slope of the volcano would extend far beyond the horizon, a mere 3 kilometers away.[20]"
