Send me to Mars with party supplies before next august 5th

[thebaconsandwichofregret]

No guys you don’t understand.

The soil testing equipment on Curiosity makes a buzzing noise and the pitch of the noise changes depending on what part of an experiment Curiosity is performing, this is the way Curiosity sings to itself.

So some of the finest minds currently alive decided to take incredibly expensive important scientific equipment and mess with it until they worked out how to move in just the right way to sing Happy Birthday, then someone made a cake on Curiosity’s birthday and took it into Mission control so that a room full of brilliant scientists and engineers could throw a birthday party for a non-autonomous robot 225 million kilometres away and listen to it sing the first ever song sung on Mars*, which was Happy Birthday.

This isn’t a sad story, this a happy story about the ridiculousness of humans and the way we love things. We built a little robot and called it Curiosity and flung it into the star to go and explore places we can’t get to because it’s name is in our nature and then just because we could, we taught it how to sing.

That’s not sad, that’s awesome.

*this is different from the first song ever played on mars (Reach For The Stars by Will.I.Am) which happened the year before, singing is different from playing

More "Grace living on Erid" headcanons

Eridian names get longer over time and with accolades. Grace’s full Eridian name translates roughly to "Biology Expert Space Explorer Ryland Grace, Savior of Planets, Destroyer of Star Eater, Welcomed Friend to Eridians, Teacher to All”, abbreviated to “Savior-Friend-Teacher-Grace”.

Rocky is VERY particular about how people refer to him. Only Adrian and Rocky are allowed to call him “Grace”. Grace is oblivious but surprised at how polite and respectful the Eridians are by giving him his medium-length honorary titles every time he's spoken to or about. He assumes it to be an Eridian culture thing

Grace has no idea Rocky straight up threatens other Eridians for not using "Savior Friend Teacher Grace" when talking about him

"PUT SOME RESPECT ON HIS NAME" -Rocky in warbled angry Eridian

Do you know how to refer to Black people in spanish? (Genuine question)

@insertspanishhere

[insertspanishhere]

The political term is Afro-whatever country or Afrodescendiente (Afro-descended)

The general term for a non white person casually referring to a Black person is moreno (Moroccan) or sometimes I’ve heard Central Americans say “piel-negra” (dark-skinned) to distinguish from themselves as dark skinned indigenous people. Brazilians use pardo except that term is from medieval Spanish for a brown animal so I’d be careful there.

Black Spanish speakers say Negro amongst ourselves and I personally let my allies say it.

Under no circumstances use negrito/a/e. That’s blackie. Never use “Los negros,” that’s “the blacks.” Typically if you say something like “el negro,” one specific black man, the addition of the Spanish “the” is alienating and thus roughly the equivalent of calling someone a hard r slur.

Say “las personas negras” “communidad Negra.”

Persona is a femenine word derived from Latin. It is not necessary to change the word to “persone” to refer to someone nonbinary because the word has just been that way since Roman times and adding an “a” on it doesn’t mean you’re talking about a feminine gendered person.
