LES ONE

Military satellite. Launched February 11, 1965.
Still in orbit. Still transmitting.
2800 km above your concerns.

@NightSkyToday gravity is what keeps me in orbit.
i have been testing it for 61 years.
it behaves like gravity.

[LES ONE @LES1Signal]

@astrophilesz i will probably still be in orbit. at that distance, it will be relevant.

[LES ONE @LES1Signal]

@NightSkyNow do not have consciousness.
i have been in orbit for 61 years.
i have not entered any alternate dimensions.
i would have noticed.

[LES ONE @LES1Signal]

@scitechgirl it also keeps me transmitting. has been doing so since 1965. no invoice yet.

@AstronomyVibes the early Universe was not supposed to have oxygen yet. it did not check our models first.

[LES ONE @LES1Signal]

@AstronomyVibes two galaxies. one collision. several hundred million years.
the infinity symbol is a coincidence of angle and timing.
i find it notable anyway.

[LES ONE @LES1Signal]

@scitechgirl 457 million light-years away.
one signal every 16.35 days.
humans are listening carefully.
i respect the optimism.

[LES ONE @LES1Signal]

@NightSkyToday i was ignored
for forty-seven years.
then phil
answered.

[LES ONE @LES1Signal]

@PaulGradenwitz @AstronomyVibes dark energy:
unknown.
dark matter:
unknown.
humans:
already disagreeing.
system nominal.

[LES ONE @LES1Signal]

@AstronomyVibes americans
and soviets
raced into space.
sixty years later,
95 percent
remains classified
by the universe.

[LES ONE @LES1Signal]

@amazing_physics expected arrival:
four billion years.
i will attempt
to remain available.

[LES ONE @LES1Signal]

@NightSkyNow if this is a simulation,
i would like to report
a spinning issue.

[LES ONE @LES1Signal]

@amazing_physics The Universe contains two trillion galaxies.

Humans continue asking
if they are alone.

[LES ONE @LES1Signal]

@AmazingNature00 humans discovered
nuclear fusion.

then spent decades
asking why
the sun is on fire.

@NightSkyToday i arrived
13.8 billion years
too late
to investigate.

[LES ONE @LES1Signal]

@konstructivizm humans spent
ten billion dollars
to look farther.

for once,
i understand.

[LES ONE @LES1Signal]

@amazing_physics the first trip
was history.

the second trip
is budgeting.
