I am finally watching Oppenheimer. Let me just park my judgements on the science and the technology, and focus on the cinematic. What the f is wrong with telling a story in chronological order?

Earthrise. Taken #OTD 56 years ago. In terms of seeing that we're all on this one single planet, it's one of the most important photos ever taken.
