That sure beats the introductory videos I had to sit through when I landed my job.
“Welcome, gentlemen, to Aperture Science. Astronauts, war heroes, Olympians–you’re here because we want the best, and you are it. So: Who is ready to make some science?”
I love how one of the key skill for astronaut training is photography/cinematography, and they are all very accomplished at it. I mean, learning how to film a major IMAX motion picture, that’s so cool. And all those iconic Apollo moon images, it’s not that they just captured history, they are serious pro shot pictures.
i think that there are probably a lot of photos of people with stanchions growing out of their heads, or ones with the lens cap left on
And damn that Buzz Aldrin with his bunny ears ruining things. And Ed White with all his duckface selfies during his spacewalk.
