y'all better not come from the ryetoast stream

As adults we’re used to understanding what’s going on. We feel like if we don’t understand every word being used that we’re stupid or something. Untrue.

Whenever I say that comprehensible input is necessary to learn a language even if you’re also using other methods I get people saying “but I’ve got auditory processing issues”

Bitch, me too and yet I’m watching documentaries in Spanish. If anything I think that having auditory processing issues makes you better at faking your way through understanding situations where you don’t know all of the words.

Plus you can turn on the subtitles and/or read books.

You know why small children learn languages so well? They aren’t embarrassed. They aren’t embarrassed to not understand, they aren’t embarrassed to sound stupid. Children already often don’t know what’s going on.

It's probably already been spread around here enough already, but in case anyone's missed it; 7 hours after launch, commander Reid Wiseman, dealing with tech issues, uttered the generational quote "I have two Microsoft Outlooks and neither one of those are working."

After fixing the issues that were afflicting the onboard toilet, mission specialist Christina Koch (who has quickly become my favourite of the four) laughingly said “I’m the space plumber, I’m proud to call myself the space plumber.”

On Easter Sunday, the Artemis II crew hosted a makeshift egg hunt, by hiding packets of dehydrated scrambled eggs around their Orion capsule.

The way the crew always makes sure to make it very clear they're in space when doing interviews. From stuff like Wiseman just hanging out floating sideways on screen or Koch letting her hair loose so it can freely span out flowing around her.

While in transit, the crew decided to record a parody of those bad 80s sitcom intros where everyone turns and smiles at the camera.

When the crew reached the furthest point from Earth in the mission, they jokingly clambored over each other in an effort to get to the far side of the capsule, so that they could individually claim to be the furthest person from earth.

At the same time, on the ISS which was at the time on the other side of earth, the 7 astronauts onboard had a light-hearted race to the far side of the station, making jokes about being the furthest humans from Artemis.

On the way back to earth, NASA actually managed to establish an audio call between the crews of the ISS and Artemis II (where they shared the above info), and Koch called one member of the ISS crew, Jessica Meir, her "astro-sister" as the two of them previously spacewalker together in 2019. Meir then responded I'm so happy that we are back in space together, even if we are a few miles apart" (a few here being 230,000).
