I never thought I would be siding with the pope’s involvement in politics and cheering him on. I will say that.

let this be a reminder that even if it takes time your dreams can come true

an astronaut foretold to go to the moon by a fortune cookie can be a kind of magical girl, I think

"We will explore. We will build. We will build ships. We will visit again. We will construct science outposts. We will drive rovers. We will do radio astronomy. We will found companies. We will bolster industry. We will inspire. But ultimately, we will always choose Earth. We will always choose each other." —Christina Koch, Artemis II Mission Specialist

its kinda hard to celebrate trans day of visibility because the visibility we're getting lately is like

Advice I gave someone today was: 'do it stupid.'

She wants to learn photography. Do it stupid. Take a million photos. Don't think about why they're not good. Enjoy the process of taking photos.

Pick out tge ones you like the most and figure out why you like them. Is it because the subject is centered? Is it because you caught them doing something cool? Is it because the light made cool shadows?

Do it stupid. If you try to do it smart, youll get stuck. If you think too much you'll never get to doing. Do it stupid.

This is honestly how I started quilting! I had fabric, I had a knowledge of backstitch, I had a quilting magazine. I asked "how hard can it be?" and now here we are. Just have fun and give it a go!

Post time!

It’s been a hot minute. Like a week or two but I wanna take a moment to yap about the Artemis Mission. More specifically the way I feel about it

SPACE

With those four brave astronauts home safe and sound I can’t help but feel hope for a better future. Things are bleak and everyday is just something bad on the news it seems like but this Mission has brought me inexplicable amounts of joy and hope for a future for humanity. We as a species went back to the moon after so long and those four brave people came back safely.

Im so happy. Genuinely. Every post I see on here about the mission makes me so happy I have to stop because I start crying. Thank you NASA and thank you Artemis. You guys continue to bring good news and information everyday despite it all and I cannot be more appreciative of it.

I love space. It’s cool. Im excited for the future for once because I want to see more missions to space.

Humans went to the moon again. We did it. Idk which one of them said but one of the four stated this was every person, not American and he cannot have been more right. Thank you guys.

I love all the whimsy and fun around this whole project, it's not just men in ties and suits with serious faces. There is a special space plushy to visualize zero g, there is a nutella jar floating through the billon dollar spacecraft, there is a guy with a sailor moon lanyard sitting in mission control, there is music to wake the crew up every morning, there are so many women working with so much joy at the top of this project (looking at you Jenny Gibbons and Kelsey Young) and there is a crew that does a recreation of a 80s sitcom intro while traveling to the fucking moon and they are fun and chill and human.

i love astronaut bios like what do you mean the first woman to go to the moon used to be a firefighter at the south pole

[kcnsas]

"she holds the record for the most days spent in space by a woman!" this "she was part of the only all female space walk!" that, she's on the list of people who have spent the most time in space, period. she's spent more time in space than any of her crewmates - one of whom hasn't been into space at all. her time in space is only three days less than what all of her crewmates have combined. she has had as many spacewalks as all of her crewmates combined. she's not there because she's the best female nasa astronaut they could find and they wanted the diversity quota or whatever, she's there because she's part of the most qualified and experienced nasa personnel they could send up there

all of us right now

I love how invested Tumblr is with the artemis II mission like yeah I've seen a couple YouTube videos on it but the amount of joy from a space travel mission for random people across the globe and like the quotes and photos and fanart I see everywhere on this site it's just so cool that this brings people together I love it
