In space, no one can hear your cringe
“oh you’re breaking up i think we’re going through a tunnel”
Maybe they’ve got some Farscape episodes on their computers. Probably watching them enviously.
Apparently they just let Trump talk and didn’t respond for a full minute and Trump was like “anyway you’re the best” and they still didn’t respond and Trump’s people ended the call.
The astronauts gave him the silent treatment. They could clearly hear him.
I watched it live, they did respond to his direct questions, but at some point Trump went into a monologue that didn’t end in a question, and they didn’t say anything back, keeping a silence going for an awkward amount of time until Houston asked if they are still on the line and they confirmed that yeah they heard everything. And said nothing else.
Nah other way around. The astronauts asked a NASA administrator if they are still on the line or if there was a handover. Then Tump replied “I am, yes, I am”.
He’s asking how young the girls in space are, and they’re thinking about all of the Sci-Fi movies where the Earth blows up and astronauts have to watch it go.
All the sci-fi movies? Can I get some recommendations?
I have a book sort of like this. SevenEves by Niel Stephenson.
The book blows up (or gets hit or something). The dist will make earth uninhabitable within a few years. I want to say Seven Years. I remeber the SevenEves title has many possible “meanings” and I think years to collapse was one.
They basically work to get as many people as they can, which isn’t many, into space working with the small crew of a (larger than ISS but not huge) space station. Including all of the logistics of food and housing.
They also have to manage it in a way as not to cause a panic because billions of people, will die. Because they literally cannot send everyone.
The first two thirds are pretty good, the lattwr third jump to the future and fallout and I hated that part, but the first part is good.
Like most of Neals books I found this book long and meandering, so I dropped it after a while, just wish he could better edit and pace his books. I enjoyed snow crash but every book of his I’ve tried since I could not finish.
I agree with this.
If you want someone with similar style stories that is less wandering, try Daniel Suarez.
That’s literally the plot of The Shining. It’s in Stanley Kubrick’s hidden messages from the fake moon that he invented or something.
I.S.S. is based on that, there was a Cloverfield spin off that was pretty similar, too. I’m sure there are a bunch more, and I’d be interested to see them, too.
“DEFCON-4” leaps to mind (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087130/).
Yeah the NASA twitch stream had to swap to emojis only.

I wouldn’t have gone to the moon if I were them. You know they’ll have to meet the president after they get back. It’s not worth it.
totally worth it.
free ride to the moon and a chance to
killmeet the most sadistic megalomaniac in history?hell yeah, sign me the fuck up!
The two on the left imagining just never going back to earth
Luckiest folks in the human race. Furthest from Trump.
Furthest from Trump and yet were told they needed to be on a direct call with him. Apparently even being in space isn’t enough.
They could presumably be within 300 miles of him.
As of this writing they’re still over 300,000 km away from the Earth. https://artemis.cdnspace.ca/
Doh they’re going to the moon! I was thinking the ISS.
They were behind the moon. Now on the way back.
They left LEO a while ago. But, point taken. Kinda funny that they could be “technically” closer to him than someone across the country.

Me when astronauts start blathering about the bible:
They are glad to have left the earth.
Will ICE be waiting for them?
Every single shot or thumbnail I see of Victor Glover just looks like he’s tired of this shit and everything he’s putting up with.
couldn’t fit them all in the top comment

Thats called Resting Bitch Face. Its more common than you think
I will say I found plenty of pics of him seeming to enjoy himself when looking for the past ones I saw. The best one is probably this one
ironically it’s from a video about how they’re returning home though lol
Did the ‘enlightened, very intelligent, definitely not MAGA’ astronauts use their platform to say something about Gaza or the war in Iran?
They all jarheads lol
当然
What an idiotic move it would be to potentially piss off a powerful man-child leading a nation while you’re dependent on an agency of that nation to get back to civilization.
I literally can’t think of a worse position to speak up against Trump than on a NASA mission in space. Maybe the men’s toilet on one of how rallies? But you’d probably easily survive that.
Surely the opportunity to make such an important message to a global audience would trump the personal safety of 4 guys careers to anyone with half a conscious.
Can you think about their careers tho! No choice but to toe the line like good jarheads.
It’s not just careers on the line here. And that to say something just so all the people who need to hear it immediately get back into the brainwash machine again 5 minutes later to listen to thousands of hours of billionaire-controlled media? That’s worth it?
it was the best platform they will ever have to speak up against Trump, if they didn’t do it it’s because they’re aligned 🤷♀️ , which i know they are because all but one are jarheads.
Hard to hide honest reactions
