Q: Are you attending your son's wedding this weekend?
TRUMP: Uhhhh. He'd like me to go. I'm gonna try and make it. I said, 'This is not good timing for me. I have a thing called Iran and other things.'
@royce_gatherer@JamesWakin3233@NASA@SebGorka Other way around--the earth looks like a quarter to the astronauts. The moon to us is smaller than a crayon held at arm's length, you can check for yourself until about 9 am. Point is, they're a lot smaller than you'd think. Nasa would know how to fake it if they were going to
@royce_gatherer@JamesWakin3233@NASA@SebGorka To the naked eye, at 200k mi away the earth (8k mi diam) would be the size of a quarter held at arm's length. But how big it seems in the photo depends on the camera's zoom and distance from the window, so one can't really say how big it "should" be. Definitely not huge though
If an airliner gets too low it'll say "altitude, altitude, pull up" to the pilots in a calm woman's voice, I need something similar for first date conversations
