This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)

Space Exploration

For fans of the space shuttle or space exploration in general, this is 45 minutes of absolute joy.

This is just as beautiful. Shots from the latest and last Discovery launch..

And something mindblowing in its silly ambition. ;)

I saw the last Discovery launch live.  I sort of cried a little.  Ah, that's an era of our exploration that's over.  Let's hope the next one is better.

Re: Space Exploration

There's some small hope. Stuff like SpaceX is the future, and where we stand right now in regards to human space exploration. Russia will continue to send people up, Americans included (we pay a great deal for those tickets, btw), but like us, they haven't improved the tech in a long time, and aren't really funding it. SpaceX is good because it's all we've got, and I'm not dissing on commercial exploration. Frankly, we all know that's how it's going to happen in the long term.

I just wish our governments were still willing to fund curiosity and science for its own sake. Governments only do that in times of excess and wealth, and I know that. So it as much marks the end of an economic era as it does tell me what the overall state of humanity is.

Re: Space Exploration

You know, most anyone can do that these days.  There are instructions online for how to attach a camera to a balloon, with a GPS tracker, have it shoot into space, and then have it come back down.

Re: Space Exploration

Awesome!

Ashnod, ever tried to hear the sounds of space? (you can find it on youtube) The electromagnetic waves are converted into audible sounds. Each object has it's own, distinct sound... and Earth... sounds like singing... emot-aaa

Re: Space Exploration

Back on topic, though. Whenever I watch THIS, I get goosebumps and then want to sob. Holy crap is this beautiful. Ignore anything South Park said about. Enjoy the space travel sequence for it is and what it represents.

They should have sent a poet. etc-love

If you have not seen this, you need to do so right now. The Scale of the Universe 2

It's an interactive comparison of the sizes of different things, from Planck length up to the scale of the known universe. emot-aaa

Re: Space Exploration

I'm still all atwitterpated over you can walk up to outer space from Warren Ellis' recent keynote speech, regarding that massive but gently inclining mountain on Mars. Hell with the boy going up a hill and all that jazz: walk to fricking space, baby!
