sleep is stolen time. don't let them take it from you anymore. tonight. we are staying up. til one billion o clock.

we just witnessed 4 human beings going further into space than anyone ever has before like why isn’t everyone talking about this more?? this is by far the coolest thing to ever happen

I just really love how human this mission feels. Both the crew and the ground making fun jokes and references ("amaze, amaze, amaze!") or things like Glover saying "hello baby!" to his family back on Earth, or how "moon joy" has become the team's favorite phrase, or those craters being named "Integrity" and "Carroll," or the astronauts being encouraged to describe how seeing the moon makes them feel (and doing so to a moving degree), and also describing how much working and talking together improves their capabilities on all fronts, and both sides constantly telling each other how excited they are and that there's "smiles all around" Not that missions like Apollo never had stuff like this, but it's different hearing it all live. Wonderful experience all around.

The most accurate thing about Star Trek is starfleet captains' penchant for dramatic speeches about humanity and hope. Turns out astronauts are actually just like that.

science has always been political. what gets studied. what doesnt. who gets to do the studying. on and on and on.
