@clive

I do not want to see pictures of the moon taken by a country that starts illeagal wars, threatens it's allies and causes the oppresion of people who do not do as they say.

For humanity my arse.

@Mediocreman @clive

there's a canadian on board and it also involves the esa. you can appreciate that

@benroyce We are involved in the NDP? That is shameful! I never thought my European tax money would fund the Nonce Distraction Project.

@clive

How long will it be until the conspiracy nuts declare its all a fake story to distract from ..... Epstein's everything?

@darkerknight Oh the flight is real, but it’s entire point is indeed to distract people from Trump being in the Epstein files. It’s lucky none of us are mentioning them.
@clive The lunar eclipse photo is so ethereal and visually perfect that it looks like the best CGI from a sci-fi movie. Amazing!
@clive My current favorite:
@clive Beautiful. Funny how abstract the size feels at that distance. Has anybody done a “banana for scale” for those craters?
@clive that is impressive 👍👍
@clive - looks straight out of a sci-fi graphic novel

@clive it's a shame they're such small JPEGs, I wish they had released the full size ones or the RAWs.

(wait... can we FOIA them?)
