Sorry dudes, it’s the Kaguya Cadillac science mission

catching that mission on camera by accident is just as cool as aliens.

“I was looking at the moon and I accidentally captured footage of a once in a lifetime lunar mission that’s mapping the surface of the moon a quarter of a million miles away…” Now THAT’S COOL!

How the media depicts the Apollo 11 mission:

Actual quotes from the Apollo 11 mission:

georgieharrisons

also according to michael collins when the three of them were discussing what neil armstrong should say when he first stepped on the moon, collins suggested armstrong say “Oh, my God, what is that thing?” and then scream and cut out his mic.

wickedwitch-of-the-left

all you’ve done is convince me that michael collins was one of the funniest men alive tbh

Michael Collins is a HILARIOUS SPACE ANGEL and I will shout this from the rooftops every time this post comes up on my dash. He showed up at my school in Boston for an event and the first thing he said was “I just learned what the state bird of Massachusetts is. It’s the upraised middle finger.” He followed up with “Buzz and Neil were bickering like an old married couple the whole time. It was nice to get some peace and quiet while they were on the surface. Forget being the farthest from all humanity, I just wanted to be the farthest from those two.”

Oh and let’s not forget his long and distinguished post-astronaut career in the State Department and as the director of the Smithsonian.

Reblogging again in memory of Collins’ passing today. Godspeed spaceman.

RIP to a real one.

“It’s human nature to stretch, to go, to see, to understand. Exploration is not a choice, really—it’s an imperative.” -Mike Collins

gusgrissom

“...calls for privatizing the ‘space business’ completely overlook the important history lessons of Apollo during the 1960s era. By outsourcing space exploration and removing it from the halls of government, we also distance it from the public sphere. During the 1960s this was definitely not the case. A damp field at Cape Canaveral, the hallways and elevator bays of the Johnson Space Center, the streets of Manhattan during an astronaut ticker-tape parade, and even a rock concert on a farm in upstate New York, all became town squares, of sorts, where grassroots activists rose up on their soapboxes and spoke out against the space race. Because of such public pronouncements in these public spaces, NASA, a civilian agency funded with taxpayer dollars, was forced to listen and pressured to respond.

Private companies such as SpaceX and Virgin Galactic will be much more hard of hearing when it comes to a clamoring public. Ceding space exploration to such private interests thus jeopardizes our ability to influence federal policy and weakens the government’s constitutional obligation to us, its citizens. Doing so also might make it more difficult to look back and examine our own planet.”

–Neil M. Maher, Apollo in the Age of Aquarius (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2017), 237.

#opening space to civilians #personally I find the idea that billionaires are turning space into another capitalist venture very icky #and the fact that they continue to frame it as is downright inaccurate #the current spin has basically turned NASA into part of the military in the way that they speak of it #NO it has literally been a civilian institution since it was formed as NACA #yeah a lot of astronauts are also military #but the guy who works with me on weekends is in the National Guard and that doesn't make this the military #also I'm sorry fanboys but Elon Musk is gross #NASA #space exploration

Not a big fan of the portrayal of the Apollo 11 crew on The Crown. Sort of makes them out to be dull and unimaginative, when we know that they weren't. Like, when asked about what they thought they talk about how they were so obsessed with protocol that they didn't have time to think. Which we know isn't true. If no one else, Mike had a ton of time to think and his thoughts have been rather public.

Then there was just the general characterization. Like, one guy comes in and is very outgoing and goofy looking and my first thought was, "Ah, Buzz, you goof!" but then they called the outgoing goofy guy Neil and I was like, no. What? No.

Has Jim Parsons ever played Mike Collins? Because Jim Parsons has some of the same features and mannerisms of Mike Collins.

A few vintage, neon motel signs in St. Petersburg, Florida

The former Ping Pong Motel has since closed - lost all of it’s kitschy weirdness - and transitioned into the Aladdin Motel. Located on Merritt Island, Florida.

The Admiral Vee Motel in Miami, Florida. 1960′s & today. It ceased operation as a motel in approximately 1967 and was later re-opened as the “Millionaires Club” owned by TV and film star Paul Lynde. The club featured live performances by artists such as Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, and many others. As of 2010, the Admiral Vee Motel was used as a photography studio and judging from the most recent Google Street View Image, it’s now a medical center.

Cocoa Beach's first motel - the Starlite Motel was opened in 1956 with 100 rooms. It had a bar, called the Starlight Lounge, which became a hub for off-duty personnel from Cape Canaveral during the late 1956s. The original Starlite Motel was destroyed in a fire in May of 1960 but may have been rebuilt in the 60’s, though I can’t find any documentation online stating this. A much bigger resort (called Ocean Landing Resort and Racquet Club) has since taken it’s place.

starsaretimecapsules

Definitely recognize the Starlite from space movies/docs. Meanwhile, recognize the Ocean Landing Resort and Racquet Club from middle of the night drives through Cocoa Beach.

All of these motels are now closed. The buildings left behind have either been renovated or demolished.

In 2016, the former Bougain Villea (more recently named the Beach Munne Motel) in Surfside, Miami Beach, Florida was partially demolished, with only the art-deco facade still standing. The front of the structure has been designated as historic by the Miami-Dade County Historic Preservation Board. There are plans to turn it into a townhouse development. More info here.
