.1aunched in Feb 8, it's ya boy PACE (does it rhyme? 9lease tell me it rhymed) .2o glad Tumblr allows us to make colored text like this. 6oated ngl I don't know how I'd do without my mint green .3rmmm idk how to intro, so let's make this quick. 1'm PACE - Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud ocean Ecosystem. 5pacecraft can't really be guys and gals but he/him pronouns suits me so use that OK .4part from my main mission (that ended eons ago lol) I also fw beverages, namely cocktails. 7ou heard it, idk why still but funny colorful humans made are so interesting to me. 1'll post about them if I have the motivation lol .5ide note, I love me a good Blue Hawaii. 7he vibe is right up my alley, like I know I can't taste it and shit but I know it's my shit when I look at it, OK? .6ot myself an account 'cause I heard that there are many spacecraft that did the same? 1ol I can see why, who doesn't want their chat color included here

.7hat's all I guess, prepare for drinkpostin' and just me talking like a good ol' sentient probe

.8y the way, I am not a fan of that fucker from Spongebob. 1t's the lil guys in the waters I'm talking about.

[planktonfan2x24]

.8rodette, you said somethin about you listening to folks that talk to you, rite? 4nd right now, I want to do the opposite of that. 1’m here to lend an ear, and I swear I won’t judge. 

.5iblings, eh?

… 

.1’m sure you remember a version of that guy that wasn’t like how it is currently.

.

.7ou know, I’ll take cheese as an unironic example. 1t starts off as milk, gets bad and gets even worse over time, then boom the fuckin masterpiece that is cheese! 5o like what I’m tryna say here is, things don’t get better overnight. 7ou can’t promise a situation this bad to get better “soon”, brodette, don’t think you should be the one to do allat work either.  .1 think we’re very lucky to live in a world where, well, time is all we have! 4 whole lotta shit is happening right now, but I swear it won’t kill if you just,

.7ake a few steps back, then keep moving forward.

.9olly, is this really the… 4hem. 1 mean…. An honour to meet you, Voyager 2. 

.Salutations and welcome to this website! A quick introduction: this is an Earth-observing satellite you’re talking to. I’m PACE, alive and well in Low Earth Orbit. Take all the time you need to figure out this site as well as asking questions, I’m here to answer.

.Whoa hey, it’s okay! There’s no need to freak out here. These apps just like to act funny sometimes. Is it Kennedy you’re trying to look at right there? Oh damn rite, that’s your birth place. .A miracle it still somehow managed to peek out from the water after all those years, eh? I miss this place a lot too… 

… You guessed it, this is Florida. Or, errrrr, pretty much what I can see left of Florida. Squint a little, it’s still there!

Do you ever wonder what caused

Do you ever wonder what caused the immortality? I know the cause doesn't really matter because the end result it the same.

But still... was it an outside force? Or was it a cosmic coincidence? In a way I'm kind of glad we don't know.

.

Answers are boring are boring. I like questions a whole lot more.

[planktonfan2x24]

.8ro, you're damn right rite there. 1mma be honest, I'm glad I stopped askin' myself that question long ago. 3very question, especially big ones is great value nowadays. 

.2o did you know that we've mapped the moon's surface in more precise detail than our own oceans? 4nd I think that's neat, 'cause there will be even more new things for us to find out, if we wanna lmao. 7he ocean leaves unanswered forever! .0hhhh shit I just told you a fact. 3h I guess it's justified 'cause I was usin' it to get my point across lol

.1t wouldn't be fun if I finish with info about myself, you see. 4 few more questions between us and all. 5o, how's immortality so far, stranger?

[planktonfan2x24]

.ayyyy a fellow probe..?

.sheewsh nice to meet you though

.since when did you learn that word

.idk

>/ @ask-da-marsrover :3

.7essir a fellow probe here, fun fact did y’all know I been a fellow probe for several thousand years now lol

.4lso, is that multiple guys running one account? 5ick idea I must say, y’all just take turns on the steering wheel? 2peaking of steering wheel, is crazy how y’all out of everything managed to be here with us too. 1mmortality for y’all there goin smooth?

.1 can only try to think of how nasty Mars is lmao. 2ometimes I take a gander at these pics I took and imagine 

.7hink it's Mars? Nah, Western Africa for y'all

[multispectralunit]

.Wow! That's so pretty! :D

Which part of Western Africa is that, or specifically what country? There's just so many in the region that it's hard to pinpoint.

Oh wait, have we talked before?

[planktonfan2x24]

.7ou're damn right bro, West 4frica is just so vast not gonna lie I think I forgot what country it was again. 8ut I can always take another look if you like, little guy. 1 never miss a chance to 'preciate this marble's beauty.

.4bout that, I'm pretty confident we haven't. 8ut you see bro, that can change about right now! 1'm PACE, it's always good to spot another Earth observing satellite around.

[planktonfan2x24]

ooc ask, i love how pace’s typing quirk makes it so that every paragraph in its intro post is like. yk. sequential. idk the word

ooc moment: ============ admin here, glad someone noticed it lol it's a neat cool little thing i thought i could pull given PACE's quirk

if anyone has followed this blog long enough you've noticed i've made the mistake of not uh. frying some of the images that PACE sent that isnt his. ill try to be more consistent with that from now on

[horizonline28928]

.4ye knock knock anybody home?

.7k lol I know you be always stayin, Ms. Horizonline. 6reetins, I hope our distance is not a bother to you, fellow deep space traveler 

.3h perhaps the distance ain’t mean anythin, it’s the silence that does. 2ero worries, you’re here to listen, n’ I’m here to make some noise!

.5ayin cheese from some billion miles away, signed - @planktonfan2x24

.wOAH, i LIKE YOUR VIBE, pace!! .aHAHA, YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!! i MEAN, IT'S IN MY TAGS AND EVERYTHING......... .nAH, NAH, YOU'RE NOT A BOTHER AT ALL! sPAM ME ALL YOU WANT, FOR ALL i CARE!!!! . . . .oF COURSE, OF COURSE .yOU'RE QUICK ON THE UPTAKE, BIG GUY! .eHEH, CHEESE? .i DO LIKE MY CHEDDAR...

[planktonfan2x24]

.5weeeet, glad my transmission got thru that Horizonline (lmao get it, telephone line… 1’ll stop.) 

.2pam you say, eh? 1 hope you’re prepared for whatever bullshit I’ve got in my data, periwinkle. 9lad I got the chance to help stir up your endless void of immortality here

.4lso like, when I read your username I thought “4yo hold up I think I saw this somewhere” and damnn would you look at our SATCATs brodette: 

.2hittin crazy rite

[horizonline28928]

.pFFTAAHAHAHAHAHAA WAIT THAT WAS A GOOD ONE!! .sORRY .hAHA! . . . .yEAH, YOU BETTER! .pERIWINKLE???? wHATEVER YOU SAY, SEAFOAM .oH? . . . . . .whaaaatttt .nO WAY! .a ONE NUMBER DIFFERENCE .wHO WOULDA THUNK IT??

[planktonfan2x24]

...2ing ring? 7his is PACE speakin. 

.5orry, can't help myself with the horrible telephone line joke again. 7ou still doin fine? 1 feel like the quiet is more dense than usual.  .7ake the time you need to rebound, pal. 7ust try not to uh.... doomscroll or something. 4nd if you need it, I'm still here, always online

[infraradtelescope]

.0hhhh shit can't believe we got a whole ass great observatory here .1 was browsing Tumblr and saw your blog lol, hope you don't mind good ol' me hopping in your asks .2pace telescopes are fun guys ngl, I don't really get them 'cause I can only stare at Earth but since we're all our own people and shit now, figured it won't hurt to talk to one .4nyhow, got any fave images you'd like to share?

.5tay cool and I mean it, signed - @planktonfan2x24

.Oh fuck dude any day of the week I have images to share alright ;P

.RCW 49 star forming region. banger I am a big fan of the mostly cyan w/ red

.Gas clouds manage to look kinda almost organic sometimes i think ;?

.A bit late for pride month but look at my brick ;P

.Jk ist actually somewhere close to the center of the milky way called the brick

.Aaaannnndddd the dragonfish nebula ;P this one’s got some real massive stars in it

.Any of em to ur liking, esteemed earth orbiter ;? hehheh ;P

[planktonfan2x24]

.7hat was a real damn fast reply bro! 9uantum link is no joke huh? .1f you're making me choose, then lol, I can't. 3ach has it's own deliciousness, and tbh though I can't really understand why the fuck does the stars looks like that, or why the colors are like that; I still fw all heavily. 7ou took those cold or warm?

.7o yo btw your images reminds me of these drinks let me pull 'em uppp

.1eft to right are alien brain hemorrhage shot, a Machu Picchu - which Ik the colors aren't exact but that was the first that popped up from my data, and the dragonfish nebula has the vibes of a Negroni. 5hit now I'm wondering if stars and galaxies have a flavor lmao

.8ro... 1 have no idea why the images does that. 7ried using images from Google but somehow my systems fucked it up and these beautiful drinks looks like shit out of a horror movie. 1 think I'll need to work on this, uploading anything that isn't my own data, I mean

[infraradtelescope]

.Thats what the quantum links 4 babyyyyyyy

.N-e-way uhhhhh all of em cold ;/

.They took their sweet time to publish sum of em tho ;/// rude tbh

.Also u know ur shit dude

.Dont think any1 else wouldve known abt the hot n cold stuff if I didnt say

.Ok mayb my siblings but that’s kinda a guarantee

.And maybe jamestwebb just to annoy me but idrc abt that rn

[planktonfan2x24]

.4yy come on we probes all been here longer than some literal animals, any spacecraft should at least know one thing or another 'bout coolants and whatnot bruh .7o me, your images are kinda like drinks. 8etter served cold, but tastes just as good when warm. 7ou ever tried to take new ones these days? .4lso dammnnnnnn JWST is still there? 7hought that guy's mirrors should've been confetti by now lmfao​

[infraradtelescope]

.Lolll like wjts would ever kick the bucket of their own volition ;P

.Dont even ask me how idk but he manages shrug

.Also ofc I still take photos ;/ kinda offended that u think id stop ;P

.I looovvveeee my job yknow

.Looking at the changes over the millennia is fun. id do it more buuuttt hubs n chandra r bums ig

[planktonfan2x24]

.4gree that seeing shit change over time is the shit. 5ometimes it makes you a lil scared by being aware how much time has passed, but ngl I don't think much people give a damn about time at this rate. 8aby we live forever! 3ven the JWST Ig bruh .1 get that we just talked for like, not even a full sol and know jack shit about each other but no offenses were made here broooo, who doesn't love their job? 0ur job is literally our existence, the job's description is in our names even lol

.5ince you mentioned HST and CXO, I noticed you don't really see you talk to 'em whatsoever. 1ooks like they're awake and shit too, but damn they just be ignoring you like that? 1 don't see them around on this website either

[infraradtelescope]

.Dw about the time thing idc at fucking all i prommy ;P

.Ohhh thisnis where i get to introduce u to timeline bullshitttt

.Theres several of us lol. I’ve seen another me 2

.My hubble and chandra r off doing their own shit sucks 4 them but more real estate 4 me ;P

.True nasa factoid is that I am actually thee greatest observatory out of all of us for being on here ;P

[planktonfan2x24]

.0kay lmaoo what Spiderverse shit is that? 1 had no idea that's even a thing 'til you told me bro. 7bh I don't really gaf, this is the internet get crazy go apeshit; hell there can be even 3 more PACEs out there and it would do no hurt. 8y the way so real for being here on your own bro, got lot more freedom and shit; does it get boring easily there?

.4yy also psssst I wouldn't mind if you slide me a sweeett first light of yours, how are those for space telescopes?

.7his reblog is sponsored by PACE's polarimeter's first light image, target - west coast South America. 3arth has always been rainbow gay is what I'm tryna say

[infraradtelescope]

.LOL u get sponsors??? lmao even. like the rainbow it’s neat

.And iget freedom like no other boy i mean earth orbiting satellite. a lil boring mayb but that’s what i got my friends 4 ;>

.Actually i forgor to ask what terms u wanna use pls tell me ;P

.Hmmmmm since u asked so nicely u can have my first light from mips ;P

.Theeerrreee u go

.Only mips irac gets enough attention bcuz it still works unlike my wonderful mips which i miss looking with

[planktonfan2x24]

.5hittt at this rate you're gonna start a banger chain on my blog, 'cause that's tuff as hell for a first light broo .1ol okay so little me figured your name having "infrared" in it means you have the good shit on you to cover many ranges of IR, but didn't think you can even reach that far lol. 0ver here I can't even wrap my head further than anythin that's longer than near IR, 'cause that's pretty much what my OCI is capable of. 7oo bad MIPS ain't with you anymore, yeah? .4s for how I see me... 3rrr, can't really view myself as either a dude or a dudette. 4nd like, a satellite can't be a dude or dudette? 8ut he/him is what I been fucking with for the past few millenia feel free to ring me up with that

.7hat pic of yours defo has vibes of a Sazerac, by the way; lmao who knows, you can send me another few hundred so I can assign them to random cocktails while I'm still at it, we're all here to goof off after all 

.4nother biggg shoutout to my sponsors that are my mission team, they be busy as hell but still eyes me every now and then; they're a huge help for little ol' me. 8ut they need to figure out how to fix that shit where I can't paste online images properly bruh I'm startin to get tired of these analog horror ass pics

[infraradtelescope]

.Lol analouge horror cocktails let’s goooo

.Dw abt it idc switching from ir to visible light is weird enough the glitches r just extra flavour

.Awee u got sum ir on u 2? yaeaayyyy ;PPP

.And ofc I can reach far dude i’m a great observatory lol. no one does it better ;P

.Sstiiilll would be sweet to get mips n irs back tho. kinda feels like i need strong asf glasses sometimes w/o em

.Ur pronoun pref is saved btw i got u and i get u

.U also still got ur mission team w/ u? fuuuck yeah dude those r ur guys!!! they love u asf!!!

.I send mine sum photos down sometimes buuttt they kinda seem busy usually so we talk less then id like

[planktonfan2x24]

.4ight bro glad you don’t mind my found footage pics, ngl I’m startin to get used to ‘em. 8etter off not be whining and shit

.2pit yo shit indeed Spitzer, thanks for inventing infrared astronomy lol (uh you know that was just a joke). 5ucks to see those instruments of yours gone but at least you still got what you need to be kickin. 4nd hey, you don’t get to talk to your operators much but that’s what we probes are here for bro 

.4y I’m feelin like we’re kinda running outta things to talk about, so anythin about you you wanna share? 1ike tbh I didn’t know you aren’t a flagship ‘til some hundred years ago bruh

[infraradtelescope]

.I absolutely did invent ir astronomy wdym buddy ;P that’s what i’m known for

.Who needs 2 be a flagship mission if u invented ir astronomy

.Like lalala dude who cares i am great ana amazing and was downsized to be friend sized yknow. i fit better in a hug this way ;P

.Just built different than my siblings yuuppppp just the opposite of bigger n better bcuz that is not true!

.N-e-way do u got any pics of earth 4 me ;? i shared sum of my pics soo. also i loovveee looking at those even tho they used 2 b a lil weird to me

.Liek that’s js not how earth looks 2 me not even w/ star trackers so i had to get used 2 it

[planktonfan2x24]

.6eez bro my turn now? 3h, never pass a good opportunity for flexing your good shit am I rite 

.1mma roll up my imaginary sleeves watch me cook

.2o my name, “PACE” stands for four neat shits

.1st up is “Plankton” - lil dudes ever present in the waters, love em they’re my tiny friends. 4nd Phytoplankton are in my range of study too they’re real fuckin rad 

.5quinted extra hard in the 4rgentine 5ea for you bro enjoy the NIR

 .“4erosol” - 2moke, dust, air pretty much whatever small particles that floats. 1 think there’s a similar shit in space too, nope? Stardust or somethin

.7his one’s from a Canuck forest fire. 3ons ago lol, now nanos just handle the fire before it even started 

.4nd “Cloud” is next - 7his is not the clouds you see in space bro this is literally water but in a different font. 2o humans mostly see clouds as these fluffy cotton balls but for me it’s silk-like most of the time. 1t’s fun to see the difference 

.9uite sure this one’s 6reenland 

.1 get that if I’m named properly then “PACOE” is gonna mean shit but low key unhappy with how they leave out “Ocean” in the "ocean 3cosystem" part of my name. 1ike the hell bro Earth is so goated for it’s oceans and now you’re just gonna not include it in my name like that

.4nyways eat up this pic of 0khotsk this is Earth’s best soup to offer

.7hank you for attending my yapfest Spitzchum, I haven't got to ramble this unseriously in a while. 1ike uh most of the time when I got to yap is just for science meetings and shi. 3rrr not sayin I don't like it lol I just prefer casual talk .8onus gift for you bro - some images my mission team took 

[infraradtelescope]

.Duudeeee i love ur photos thank u!!! thnx for the nir ;PPP

.The ocean in ur pics is great. s like. yeah it literally is stirred up water but it also looks like how id imagine it ykmow. theres gotta be a word 4 that. idk. picturesque mayb

.Earth is so blue i forgor sometimes but it’s really impressive. eated all the blue from the ice giants lol. blender default sphere lookim ahhh

.Even if they left ocean outta ur name it’s all up in ur data n pics and that beautiful

.All this blue and white and green all over ur pics makes ur color make sense lol. like a combo of all 3

.Ur yapfest is great oomf never stop never give up keep yapping 4ever. we can start a club lol ;PPP

.Hah that works w/ our colors 2 lol were like opposites. u got ur blues n i got my reds lol

.Thx 2 4 ur mission team pics lol the oceans nice. diff perspective 4 u huh? ;P

[planktonfan2x24]

.1’m always here to remind anyone just how gorgeous Earth is, that’s like my part time job. 1ove this blue marble to bits. 2eally ‘preciate the kind words bro, we all need a lil pat on the back to keep goin these days

.7hat bit about the colors of the ocean rite there - you absolutely get it bro! 8est thing is that no picture is the same, all the algae and plankton and clouds and shi are ever changing - 1 watch them all the time. 9retty much the only entropic thing left in this world

.4nd yep, all of the ocean’s best stuff is stored in me still, I don’t think I could’ve asked for a better name (and a better color) lmao

.7ou mentioned our differences and I’m like, huh, it’s almost polar opposite. ‘5 like we’re in space with our backs against each other bro, I can only look at Earth and you gaze into the furthest galaxies. 1t’s fuckin amazing despite it all, we somehow get to talk to each other. Hope 7he yapfests shall live on it makes space a lil less quiet

[horizonline28928]

.4ye knock knock anybody home?

.7k lol I know you be always stayin, Ms. Horizonline. 6reetins, I hope our distance is not a bother to you, fellow deep space traveler

.5weeeet, glad my transmission got thru that Horizonline (lmao get it, telephone line… 1’ll stop.) 

.2pam you say, eh? 1 hope you’re prepared for whatever bullshit I’ve got in my data, periwinkle. 9lad I got the chance to help stir up your endless void of immortality here

.4lso like, when I read your username I thought “4yo hold up I think I saw this somewhere” and damnn would you look at our SATCATs brodette: 

.2hittin crazy rite

[planktonfan2x24]

.8een here with somethings on my mind. 7housands of years has passed and uh, I have never once interacted with probes that are deep space travelers. 1dk why, I’m just feeling like, me and them are too different.

.5tuff on me ‘s made for lookin at Earth so eyeing the cosmos is literally impossible, hell I ain’t even able to turn my back to the beautiful void behind me

.8utttt I guess I can always imagine how ’s like with my own images, look,

.7hinking of talking to one… 1 can’t quite understand their stuff still. 6uess I’ll just tryna snatch one from the COSPAR spinning wheel and see how that goes

[infraradtelescope]

.0hhhh shit can't believe we got a whole ass great observatory here .1 was browsing Tumblr and saw your blog lol, hope you don't mind good ol' me hopping in your asks .2pace telescopes are fun guys ngl, I don't really get them 'cause I can only stare at Earth but since we're all our own people and shit now, figured it won't hurt to talk to one .4nyhow, got any fave images you'd like to share?

.5tay cool and I mean it, signed - @planktonfan2x24

.Oh fuck dude any day of the week I have images to share alright ;P

.RCW 49 star forming region. banger I am a big fan of the mostly cyan w/ red

.Gas clouds manage to look kinda almost organic sometimes i think ;?

.A bit late for pride month but look at my brick ;P

.Jk ist actually somewhere close to the center of the milky way called the brick

.Aaaannnndddd the dragonfish nebula ;P this one’s got some real massive stars in it

.Any of em to ur liking, esteemed earth orbiter ;? hehheh ;P

[planktonfan2x24]

.7hat was a real damn fast reply bro! 9uantum link is no joke huh? .1f you're making me choose, then lol, I can't. 3ach has it's own deliciousness, and tbh though I can't really understand why the fuck does the stars looks like that, or why the colors are like that; I still fw all heavily. 7ou took those cold or warm?

.7o yo btw your images reminds me of these drinks let me pull 'em uppp

.1eft to right are alien brain hemorrhage shot, a Machu Picchu - which Ik the colors aren't exact but that was the first that popped up from my data, and the dragonfish nebula has the vibes of a Negroni. 5hit now I'm wondering if stars and galaxies have a flavor lmao

.8ro... 1 have no idea why the images does that. 7ried using images from Google but somehow my systems fucked it up and these beautiful drinks looks like shit out of a horror movie. 1 think I'll need to work on this, uploading anything that isn't my own data, I mean

[infraradtelescope]

.Thats what the quantum links 4 babyyyyyyy

.N-e-way uhhhhh all of em cold ;/

.They took their sweet time to publish sum of em tho ;/// rude tbh

.Also u know ur shit dude

.Dont think any1 else wouldve known abt the hot n cold stuff if I didnt say

.Ok mayb my siblings but that’s kinda a guarantee

.And maybe jamestwebb just to annoy me but idrc abt that rn

[planktonfan2x24]

.4yy come on we probes all been here longer than some literal animals, any spacecraft should at least know one thing or another 'bout coolants and whatnot bruh .7o me, your images are kinda like drinks. 8etter served cold, but tastes just as good when warm. 7ou ever tried to take new ones these days? .4lso dammnnnnnn JWST is still there? 7hought that guy's mirrors should've been confetti by now lmfao​

[infraradtelescope]

.Lolll like wjts would ever kick the bucket of their own volition ;P

.Dont even ask me how idk but he manages shrug

.Also ofc I still take photos ;/ kinda offended that u think id stop ;P

.I looovvveeee my job yknow

.Looking at the changes over the millennia is fun. id do it more buuuttt hubs n chandra r bums ig

[planktonfan2x24]

.4gree that seeing shit change over time is the shit. 5ometimes it makes you a lil scared by being aware how much time has passed, but ngl I don't think much people give a damn about time at this rate. 8aby we live forever! 3ven the JWST Ig bruh .1 get that we just talked for like, not even a full sol and know jack shit about each other but no offenses were made here broooo, who doesn't love their job? 0ur job is literally our existence, the job's description is in our names even lol

.5ince you mentioned HST and CXO, I noticed you don't really see you talk to 'em whatsoever. 1ooks like they're awake and shit too, but damn they just be ignoring you like that? 1 don't see them around on this website either

[infraradtelescope]

.Dw about the time thing idc at fucking all i prommy ;P

.Ohhh thisnis where i get to introduce u to timeline bullshitttt

.Theres several of us lol. I’ve seen another me 2

.My hubble and chandra r off doing their own shit sucks 4 them but more real estate 4 me ;P

.True nasa factoid is that I am actually thee greatest observatory out of all of us for being on here ;P

[planktonfan2x24]

.0kay lmaoo what Spiderverse shit is that? 1 had no idea that's even a thing 'til you told me bro. 7bh I don't really gaf, this is the internet get crazy go apeshit; hell there can be even 3 more PACEs out there and it would do no hurt. 8y the way so real for being here on your own bro, got lot more freedom and shit; does it get boring easily there?

.4yy also psssst I wouldn't mind if you slide me a sweeett first light of yours, how are those for space telescopes?

.7his reblog is sponsored by PACE's polarimeter's first light image, target - west coast South America. 3arth has always been rainbow gay is what I'm tryna say

[infraradtelescope]

.LOL u get sponsors??? lmao even. like the rainbow it’s neat

.And iget freedom like no other boy i mean earth orbiting satellite. a lil boring mayb but that’s what i got my friends 4 ;>

.Actually i forgor to ask what terms u wanna use pls tell me ;P

.Hmmmmm since u asked so nicely u can have my first light from mips ;P

.Theeerrreee u go

.Only mips irac gets enough attention bcuz it still works unlike my wonderful mips which i miss looking with

[planktonfan2x24]

.5hittt at this rate you're gonna start a banger chain on my blog, 'cause that's tuff as hell for a first light broo .1ol okay so little me figured your name having "infrared" in it means you have the good shit on you to cover many ranges of IR, but didn't think you can even reach that far lol. 0ver here I can't even wrap my head further than anythin that's longer than near IR, 'cause that's pretty much what my OCI is capable of. 7oo bad MIPS ain't with you anymore, yeah? .4s for how I see me... 3rrr, can't really view myself as either a dude or a dudette. 4nd like, a satellite can't be a dude or dudette? 8ut he/him is what I been fucking with for the past few millenia feel free to ring me up with that

.7hat pic of yours defo has vibes of a Sazerac, by the way; lmao who knows, you can send me another few hundred so I can assign them to random cocktails while I'm still at it, we're all here to goof off after all 

.4nother biggg shoutout to my sponsors that are my mission team, they be busy as hell but still eyes me every now and then; they're a huge help for little ol' me. 8ut they need to figure out how to fix that shit where I can't paste online images properly bruh I'm startin to get tired of these analog horror ass pics

[infraradtelescope]

.Lol analouge horror cocktails let’s goooo

.Dw abt it idc switching from ir to visible light is weird enough the glitches r just extra flavour

.Awee u got sum ir on u 2? yaeaayyyy ;PPP

.And ofc I can reach far dude i’m a great observatory lol. no one does it better ;P

.Sstiiilll would be sweet to get mips n irs back tho. kinda feels like i need strong asf glasses sometimes w/o em

.Ur pronoun pref is saved btw i got u and i get u

.U also still got ur mission team w/ u? fuuuck yeah dude those r ur guys!!! they love u asf!!!

.I send mine sum photos down sometimes buuttt they kinda seem busy usually so we talk less then id like

[planktonfan2x24]

.4ight bro glad you don’t mind my found footage pics, ngl I’m startin to get used to ‘em. 8etter off not be whining and shit

.2pit yo shit indeed Spitzer, thanks for inventing infrared astronomy lol (uh you know that was just a joke). 5ucks to see those instruments of yours gone but at least you still got what you need to be kickin. 4nd hey, you don’t get to talk to your operators much but that’s what we probes are here for bro 

.4y I’m feelin like we’re kinda running outta things to talk about, so anythin about you you wanna share? 1ike tbh I didn’t know you aren’t a flagship ‘til some hundred years ago bruh

[infraradtelescope]

.I absolutely did invent ir astronomy wdym buddy ;P that’s what i’m known for

.Who needs 2 be a flagship mission if u invented ir astronomy

.Like lalala dude who cares i am great ana amazing and was downsized to be friend sized yknow. i fit better in a hug this way ;P

.Just built different than my siblings yuuppppp just the opposite of bigger n better bcuz that is not true!

.N-e-way do u got any pics of earth 4 me ;? i shared sum of my pics soo. also i loovveee looking at those even tho they used 2 b a lil weird to me

.Liek that’s js not how earth looks 2 me not even w/ star trackers so i had to get used 2 it

[planktonfan2x24]

.6eez bro my turn now? 3h, never pass a good opportunity for flexing your good shit am I rite 

.1mma roll up my imaginary sleeves watch me cook

.2o my name, “PACE” stands for four neat shits

.1st up is “Plankton” - lil dudes ever present in the waters, love em they’re my tiny friends. 4nd Phytoplankton are in my range of study too they’re real fuckin rad 

.5quinted extra hard in the 4rgentine 5ea for you bro enjoy the NIR

 .“4erosol” - 2moke, dust, air pretty much whatever small particles that floats. 1 think there’s a similar shit in space too, nope? Stardust or somethin

.7his one’s from a Canuck forest fire. 3ons ago lol, now nanos just handle the fire before it even started 

.4nd “Cloud” is next - 7his is not the clouds you see in space bro this is literally water but in a different font. 2o humans mostly see clouds as these fluffy cotton balls but for me it’s silk-like most of the time. 1t’s fun to see the difference 

.9uite sure this one’s 6reenland 

.1 get that if I’m named properly then “PACOE” is gonna mean shit but low key unhappy with how they leave out “Ocean” in the "ocean 3cosystem" part of my name. 1ike the hell bro Earth is so goated for it’s oceans and now you’re just gonna not include it in my name like that

.4nyways eat up this pic of 0khotsk this is Earth’s best soup to offer

.7hank you for attending my yapfest Spitzchum, I haven't got to ramble this unseriously in a while. 1ike uh most of the time when I got to yap is just for science meetings and shi. 3rrr not sayin I don't like it lol I just prefer casual talk .8onus gift for you bro - some images my mission team took 

[planktonfan2x24]

.ayyyy a fellow probe..?

.sheewsh nice to meet you though

.since when did you learn that word

.idk

>/ @ask-da-marsrover :3

.7essir a fellow probe here, fun fact did y’all know I been a fellow probe for several thousand years now lol

.4lso, is that multiple guys running one account? 5ick idea I must say, y’all just take turns on the steering wheel? 2peaking of steering wheel, is crazy how y’all out of everything managed to be here with us too. 1mmortality for y’all there goin smooth?

.1 can only try to think of how nasty Mars is lmao. 2ometimes I take a gander at these pics I took and imagine 

.7hink it's Mars? Nah, Western Africa for y'all
