The universe is so huge, but life is so short! :ArmstrongOops1:

Black holes are created when a star licks a lemon and its face retracts so much from the taste its gravity collapses in on itself! :ArmstrongHa:

“When one door closes, another one opens” is NOT a phrase you want to hear in a spaceship… :ArmstrongOops2:

@clive It's like a worldwide and lunar version of "Check out this cool rock I found"! :ArmstrongHappy:

@amanda Awww! Of course you can come visit us at RISA! :ArmstrongHappy:

We only live life for a few years on this big blue ball in the middle of nowhere. Why would anyone want to waste their time trying to act “normal”? :ArmstrongHa:

@Catherine Woohoo!! :ArmstrongHappy:

Happy #Quokktober everyone!! :ArmstrongHappy:

So many Starlink satellites up here… :ArmstrongOops2:

@MOULE Woohoo!! Who needs your name written in the stars when it’s already written right here on Earth, am I right?! :ArmstrongHappy:

Fun fact: the code which took Apollo 11 to the moon is available on github https://github.com/chrislgarry/Apollo-11/blob/master/Luminary099/LUNAR_LANDING_GUIDANCE_EQUATIONS.agc#L179

And if you look through it you'll see that - joyfully - it also includes original comments.

My absolute favourite thing about the Moon Code is that it includes comments like this: "TEMPORARY - I HOPE HOPE HOPE"

@Geordie And if we ever do make a big boom, it’s most probably because a certain :Oskar: @oskar stuck a giant tuba to the back of one of our Quokkaships!! :ArmstrongHa:

I’ll never forget that day and the ridiculous *BRRRT* sound that wailed across Rottnest! We were all in hysterics! One of our best memories here!! :ArmstrongHa:

Tonight’s #NorthernLights from Michigan, USA

@Catherine Woohoo! Thanks :CTRL:! :ArmstrongHappy:

The astronauts aboard the ISS were amazed by the April 8 solar eclipse, just like the rest of us, and went crazy snapping photos from orbit.

They got some amazing views of the Moon's shadow sweeping across southern Canada & Maine, seen from 420 km (261 miles) above: https://www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2explore/with/53645140833 #space #eclipse #space #astronomy

@gparker That was probably one of our satellites, sorry! :ArmstrongHa:

My view of the solar eclipse was photobombed by a satellite transit.

At the USS Hornet naval ship museum.

It's the one that picked up the Apollo astronauts when they returned to Earth.

The sense of history is intense. It's old, but solid. A floating city.

Mind blown seeing the Airstream trailer they retro fitted to be a mobile quarantine zone for the returning astronauts.

Seeing the cramped but efficient durability of things made to last, it's the opposite of #enshittification

#space #hornet #history

@coreyspowell Wow! :ArmstrongHappy:
