Listen, Artemis launched successfully, went to the moon, came back successfully and had a perfect re-entry, I will express my joy and relief through the language of my people: shitposting.

“No rush to get the crew out” has anyone asked the crew, crew blink twice if you’re being held against your will.

Back in the 2010s it was so much fun shouting about Curiosity’s landing with other space nerds on Twitter. It’s been so affirming to have that again here on Bluesky with Artemis.

It turns out a diverse group of highly trained humans working towards a shared goal can create miraculous results.

It’s bonkers that you can take a screaming fast spacecraft, jam it into the atmosphere, bring it down using parachutes, and have everything be exactly as you planned, from speed to location.

The “toxic gases” they’re talking about are likely the hydrazine thrusters. The chemical hydrazine is great for quick burn maneuvering thrusters but is real dangerous for humans.

The little bright pops on the infrared camera before splashdown was the capsule firing thrusters to keep their alignment and make sure they hit the water in a good orientation.

It’s very neat and totally chill how traveling to the moon and back involves multiple instances of extended periods of “I’m entering a tunnel, I’ll call when I’m back out”.

We’ll soon hit the point where the capsule is going so fast in air that its friction rips electrons off of air molecules, creating a charged plasma and swamping all radio contact with the capsule.

It’s fascinating to see critical lenses from fandoms of puzzle-box SFF genre shows get applied to normie TV. It’s like criticizing an NHL game for not being Heated Rivalry.

We love how appropriately disjointed "Our House" by Eleanor Lennox feels. The short paragraphs and broken rhythm add to the sense of unease, that something is very not right here:

"You’re Dead & I’m Safe & Still I Dream Of You" by S.M. Hallow draws interesting lines between dream and reality, past and present. Step into this dream, and don't forget to wake up. It's not a happy one.

My parents were historians and teachers, they didn’t imagine the best way to make Avignon antipopes relevant to students was to let a Pentagon official with no sense of context start verbally shoving the papal ambassador.
