Traveling by train for 61 hours isn’t a waste of time—it’s a journey of self-discovery. You’ll meet people, see places you couldn’t even imagine, walk backward through the cars, and in the end, you’ll discover things you’ve never seen or known before, especially about yourself. Only a child would think a long train ride is a problem rather than a philosophical exercise.
NASA posted an ARTEMIS II crew photograph that I think is one of the best I have seen. This is the continent of Antarctica.
The area around the continent is clear. This is the Southern Ocean that circles Antarctica. The cold air and water tend to rob the moisture in the air. No clouds.
In the middle left of the photo is the Antarctica Peninsula.
To the left of the peninsula is Tierra del Fuego. Continuing up the upper left of the photo is the Atlantic coast of South America.
The land mass in the lower right is probably New Zealand.
El archipielago de Malvinas tiene 778 Islas. La mayoría de ellas no tiene nombre. Las que lo tienen fueron dados por franceses, españoles e ingleses. Tiene una superficie equivalente al Libano o Jamaica; solo 1530 personas de las que actualmente viven en las islas nacieron allí.
@CuriosityonX If we adhere to scientific reasoning as taught in serious universities, the Big Bang could not have existed; there is no evidence that it occurred. It would be proof that things arise from nothing, and, so far, based on our experience, nothing arises from nothing.
@maniaUFO It will be even more disturbing when it is discovered that the person who entered the room and saw a reality that had changed with their presence, when they left was no longer the same person.
Our most eminent astronomers and physicists should perhaps account for the curious phenomenon of one's legs inverting the moment one disembarks into the void.
Dear NASA,
Top Tip - for your upcoming Moon Mission.
Make sure your ‘Astronauts’ put their ‘Space Boots’ on correctly this time - it’s cold and dangerous in the vacuum of Space, even more so if you’re outside the craft orbiting at 17,500mph.
And yes this is an official NASA Picture.
Our survival may stem from a profound etymological error. 'Hope' once meant only to await the future. The later, saving grace was the belief we were awaiting a propitious one. That singular optimism could be what has sustained us through everything.
