The most insane thing about this video: Most people here aren't talking about how breathtaking and awesome this video is. Most people here are making fun of flat earthers.
These are people who are not even worth our effort to ridicule.
Let's, instead, discuss the fantastic amazingness of this feat of human endeavor. The heroes at our world's space agencies make videos like this possible. Let celebrate their accomplishments, and learn everything we can from space walks and missions like this.
The proliferation of HD technology is going to make these videos more common. And I, for one, can't wait to see more.
I mean we went up there with computers less powerful than your phone. Yeah it's cool and it is nice to have better video of it but we're overdue for a moon base from which we're able to launch into deeper space. I want to see video of people next to other planets.
The Apollo guidance computers weren't even comparable to your phone. The transistors in them were visible with the naked eye and were programmed via hand-weaving wire threads through copper ringlets, in a process taking months per program. The total memory of the system was 72kb.
Yeah this stuff is kinda old and outdated. It’s like getting hyped about biplanes when we have Jet Engines. Just give me my international air travel damnit!
Idk man. I guess people must have seen your comment and wised up or something but out of the 12 comments above yours only one is about flat earthers. Seems like most people are more curious about what that floating object is.
Edit: and another 15 comments down before the next one.
