when i was a kid i decided that killing people was bad therefore war was bad therefore the military was evil. and adults would tell me it's more nuanced than that and i would understand when i grew up. well i'm a grown up now and idk i still think that killing people is bad and war is bad and the military is evil

Astronauts are so funny man. Here's just a couple of things I've found hilarious from this past week of space stuff:

It's probably already been spread around here enough already, but in case anyone's missed it; 7 hours after launch, commander Reid Wiseman, dealing with tech issues, uttered the generational quote "I have two Microsoft Outlooks and neither one of those are working."

After fixing the issues that were afflicting the onboard toilet, mission specialist Christina Koch (who has quickly become my favourite of the four) laughingly said “I’m the space plumber, I’m proud to call myself the space plumber.”

On Easter Sunday, the Artemis II crew hosted a makeshift egg hunt, by hiding packets of dehydrated scrambled eggs around their Orion capsule.

The way the crew always makes sure to make it very clear they're in space when doing interviews. From stuff like Wiseman just hanging out floating sideways on screen or Koch letting her hair loose so it can freely span out flowing around her.

While in transit, the crew decided to record a parody of those bad 80s sitcom intros where everyone turns and smiles at the camera.

When the crew reached the furthest point from Earth in the mission, they jokingly clambored over each other in an effort to get to the far side of the capsule, so that they could individually claim to be the furthest person from earth.

At the same time, on the ISS which was at the time on the other side of earth, the 7 astronauts onboard had a light-hearted race to the far side of the station, making jokes about being the furthest humans from Artemis.

On the way back to earth, NASA actually managed to establish an audio call between the crews of the ISS and Artemis II (where they shared the above info), and Koch called one member of the ISS crew, Jessica Meir, her "astro-sister" as the two of them previously spacewalker together in 2019. Meir then responded I'm so happy that we are back in space together, even if we are a few miles apart" (a few here being 230,000).

While Jeremy Hansen was doing an interview, Wiseman and Koch were just in the background swatting the mission mascot (a little moon plush toy named Rise) back and forth between each other.

During the call with the ISS the Artemis crew asked the ISS crew what they were eating so they could prepare the same food and "share" the meal with them. So both crews had spicy green beans and mango salad.

I don't know why this particular event has struck me as much as it has. It's an almost childlike gesture but I mean that in the most complimentary way possible. I just love the desire to invoke the sensation of sitting down together and share a meal even though they're 200,000 miles apart (on Earth the furthest apart you can possibly be from another person is just under 13,000miles btw).

you will see something that the us military has done and it will be the most horrifying thing in the world. something that should be the catalyst for a complete upheaval of the system, for riots in the streets, for national mourning periods and rewritten textbooks and decades of reparations. and the whole time it's just a normal day for them. they did something like it yesterday and they'll do it again tomorrow. the lucky ones even get to come home and spend the rest of their lives getting discounts at the movies and applause at baseball games. and if you try to express any this to the average person irl they will act like you shot their dog in front of them

With NASA's Artemis II mission, just thought you should all know, there's a Sailor Moon Artemis plush in Mission control.

They just gave him a doughnut and a coffee. There's also a controller there with a Sailor Moon lanyard.

New Mexico Senate approves bill to ban ICE detention centers

The New Mexico Legislature approved the Immigration Safety Act. House bill 9 bars the state from allowing ICE detention centers.

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

[savouryduck]

Rubio hopes that by barring the state and local governments from working with ICE it would provide a first step in shifting the economy from relying on incarceration as the primary form of economic opportunity in rural communities. "New Mexico made a policy choice in the 90s that in order to fill gaps in economic development we would incarcerate people," Rep. Rubio said. "We have a choice now. We can go a different direction. That is possible."
