Said it before, but must say it again: Simone Giertz is a treasure.

She is most definitely not a contemporary Rube Goldberg.

I came here to see the inevitable shit talking about Simone and, for once, I did not have my expectations fulfilled.

Turned my 13 year-old daughter on to her a while back. It’s one of the few channels she’s actually subscribed to!

This makes me want to trolley post so hard, but I’ll let someone else be the reason why we can’t have nice things this time.

Seriously: The lady in the video is doing a thing that engages with both the fantasy and reality of space travel. I hadn’t even thought to do this, but she got off her ass and actually did it. I like space, except for the lack of oxygen and high levels of radiation, so I’m into this.

If only I was 40 years younger… :heart_eyes:

BTW, who isn’t reminded of the “Space Sphere” from Portal 2?

This reminds me of Tom Sachs’ “Space Program 2.0” with a plywood and duct taped mission to Mars. You can probably download “Space Program 1.0” on Youtube, but 2.0 was even better.
