The fact that most people in the developed world carry phones with more computing power than NASA had in the late 60âs/early 70âs kind of puts a damper on the significance of going to the moon more than 40 years after the last Apollo mission.
Itâs not a great movie, but damn itâs a beautiful one. The atmosphere (or vacuum!) is amazing, even if the story gets kind of weak.
Nightmare fuel!
What movie did this creature come out of? Or are there really spiders on our satellite?
Ah, but it didnât rely only on computers, right? It involved a lot of people, companies and new technologies. I agree with you. We are so surrounded by technology that we forget that in the past things were much more difficult. Taking a trip to space from scratch was as much of an effort as it was of the ancient navigators who launched themselves into the sea in their puny nutshells.
For example, I read about Mrs. Margareth Hamilton, who practically wrote a code of the size of an encyclopedia to correct a navigation problem. Today it would be easier, just ploting some data in app and voilĂĄ, space uber!
There is also the anecdote about the lingerie factory that developed space suits. They called on ladies specializing in bras and other underwear to sew astronautsâ clothes.
The Doctor Who story âKill the Moonâ. Its a stupid story at all levels, but it has those cool moon spiders.
I always thought there were only spiders on Mars and these creatures played guitar.
Really cool, indeed. Scary as hell, specially the mouth!

Trump was convinced to keep quiet about something? I find this claim dubious.
They flashy thinged him.
Trump was convinced to keep quiet about something that would get him attention, for the good of humanity. That right there is less plausible than everything else said, right down to a Galactic Federation wanting research help from the US and Israel specifically.
If this were true, theyâd only be talking to Angela, not the incompetent and/or cruel governments in charge of the US and Israel right nowâŚ

I was waiting for a Musk explosion thread.
There will be an eclipse today, they say.
We don´t have a forecast of rain.
It will be visible in south hemisphere, they say.
It will be visible in South America, they say.
It will be visible in Brazil, they say.
I made a contraption with old radiographies of my knees. (EDIT: Never, never do it. Use a wielder standard No.14 shade glass hardened lens. It is cheap and will protect your eyes)
I tryed to see the eclipseâŚ
It will be only partial in RioâŚ
