Wow. Blue Ghost has taken is first images, and one of them was this: sunrise on the Moon. That's our Sun, as a star. From the Moon. Beautiful.

Blue Ghost, the moon lander from Firefly Aerospace, landed on the moon last night. It took a selfie from the lander. And that's us, up in the sky ❤️

Think space exploration is a "waste of money?" If you use/depend on: - phone camara&smartphone - scratch resistant lenses - wireless earbuds - prosthetics - CAT scans - purified water - memory foam - solar panels - LED lights - fireproof fabrics Then you benefit from its advancements. FUND IT!

Hilariously all technology we currently use would not exist without: Ada Lovelace The wonderful ladies Hidden Figures was about Adm. Grace Hopper. Also all these Black dudes are why nuclear physics is so forward moving. Racism also is a factor. Who knows what else we'd have if not for bigotry.

If there's one take away from the TV show "For All Mankind," it's that society held back technological progress by MILLENIA by keeping women out of STEM. Wish we had better tech that could boldly go "where no HUman has gone before?" We likely would have had half the brilliance not been locked away.

While it's nice to look up into space to see the enormity of it all, it's also a good reminder to look down, at this beautiful rock we live on, from above. Everything you know, your friends, enemies, what you've learned, loved, hated, experienced, all originated from this beautiful ball we live on.

Saw these two cosmic beauties in the sky yesterday evening. Perfect timing, I caught a plane as it flew by them! That's Venus and the Moon, by the way. Be sure to catch a glimpse tonight! The moon will be above Venus instead of below, as you see here. You'll see Saturn farther above.
