Moon far side
>by artemis iiclearly not, seeing as the far side is mostly covered in blackness at this time
>>16950507Proxima Centauri
>>16950513It's only showing like 30% of the far side, all the dark areas are visible from earth already.
>>16950507what are the chances they went to the far side and saw absolutely nothing?
>>16950581The Moon is a boring ball of rock.
>>16950581They mostly saw nothing, the picture has basically all of the far side they saw. Starlight may allow them to pick up some detail on the far side beyond that but nothing interesting for certain.
>>16950610Shouldn't they have done some long exposure photography?
>>16950507I wish that more fictional art exaggerated the colors of the moon like that.
>>16950593An airless rock, even.
>>16950633Well yes but I include that into "saw nothing" because it's not with their eyes. If they wanted to look at a picture of the far side of the moon there's plenty available with high definition and full lighting, Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter for instance has a pretty good catalog of amazing pictures.
Thats where they keep the cow tools.
>>16950593I often get hit with this disturbing notion that the entire visible universe is just full of boring lifeless balls of rock, and earth is all we have, it's all there is.
>>16950755Well you can weep and gnash your teeth about the vastness of cosmic indifference, or take pleasure knowing that we are pretty much the focal point of it all
>>16950755>earth is all we have, it's all there is.it's possibly but given how many stars are out there it's highly improbably. what is more disturbing is that barring some innovation like reifying the alcubierre drive, we'll most likely never know about them.
>>16950755We're just as "boring" as those lifeless balls of rock.

>>16950529#5 @ Jersey Mikes?
>>16950507pathetic CGI
>>16950904>reifying the alcubierre driveah yes let me invent matter with negative mass real quick
>>16950529my anus after Mexican night.
>>16950507No.
>>16950529people who are amazed by this are toddler levels of retard>LE HECKING STAR 4.2 LIGHT YEAR AWAY! WOW!
Reminder that Elon Musk's Occupy Mars shirt doesn't have Mars on it. The Moon with a red filter over it was used. Some think this was a secret signal that he knew he'd have to do the Moon first even though he kept saying it was a waste of time. Others think it was simply lazy graphic design.
>>16950728They said in the stream they saw the dark side clearly during the eclipse because of Earthshine but the cameras wouldn't pick it from dynamic range. I figure they were able to see as much as a moonlit night.
>>16951477The far side is not illuminated by earthshine. It's on the wrong side of the moon.

the news keeps saying "never seen before seen by human eyes" to play it upand they went 4000 miles further then apollobut out of 1/4 million miles?weather use to be "going 2 rain"now 100 million under threat from atmospheric river/bomb cyclone!
>>16951948I can't find it now but there's a map showing what the apollo missions actually saw up close and there's a big blind spot, so it's a correct statement even if it doesn't mean as much as they make it out to be
>>16951948>the news keeps saying "never seen before seen by human eyes" to play it upSo NASA now admits that none of the Apollo astronauts were really humans?Gnorts!>>16951950>there's a big blind spotConsidering one astronaut remained in the command module, this is unexpected.

>>16951433It's the first time a star other than our sun was shown at this level of detail. You're the retard for not understanding what that image represents.
>>16950755It bums me out I'll never witness the peak of humanity, unless we've already hit it which is even more depressing
>>16950755I realise the same but feel elation for all that untapped mineral wealth.
>>16951433>toddler levels of retardExcuse me?
>>16952145the first time a sausage was imaged with this level of detail
>>16950529>jwst fuck my shit up f a m
>>16952128were all the apollo missions during "full moon"?the time when the far side is REALLY the dark side?
the third astronaut that stayed in lunar orbit could see a huge chunk of the far side

>>16950755what is improbable is life, let alone intelligent life, let alone civilization, let alone industrial civilization, let alone spacefaring industrial civilizationmultiply the probability for each and you get a vanishingly small chance for there to be multiple civilizations in the same galaxyThe odds that there is another civilization within the visible universe at the same time as us, within the same cosmic epoch that spans billions of years, are nearly zero

>>16950507The Moon has a butthole?
>>16950529Every single time.
>>16950755Imagine all the land you could own
>>16952792Tsiolkovsky crater.
>>16950507what's that blue/purple stuff? does it actually look like that or is it one of those color renders, I hate it when they do that why can't they just take pictures with an iphone?
>>16950507reminds me of the blowfish meme
>>16950755That's an incorrect notion though. The universe is full of fucking nothing. The lifeless balls of rock make up just a tiny insignificant part of it.
>>16951433How do people become this angry and jaded about every fucking thing?
>>16954423>he believes in pure vacuums Hello re ddit.
>>16950755>boring lifeless balls of rockNot at all, unless you define life solely as organic cellular compounds (big mistake).
>>16950529This will never not be funny. Why can’t nerds on Reddit take a joke? Pic related.
>>16958181Lmaooo this is why I love redditors
>>16954423>The universe is full of fucking nothingAt which scale? And then at which ratio perspective?And at which speed relative to other objects in the universe?
>>16954423What is the difference between one nothing and two nothings? What is the difference between a bunch of nothing and a little bit of nothing?
>>16954436social media. the algorithm rewards engagement. any and all engagement. the easiest way to get people engaged is to make them angry. and they use all sorts of psychological tricks to keep people watching. they consume hours and hours of rageslop. anger becomes a natural state for them. so much so that they actually start to enjoy their anger.
>>16958181I remember being a 19yo redditor getting pissed off at a boy hanging from the barrel of a t34 tank at a museum
>>16954436he's a vegan
>>16960973I think a redditor is someone who gets a self esteem boost by feeling superior to someone the hivemind sneers at, so in that sense you're just a very advanced redditor
