I was watching one of the clips, that the crew has posted and when one of them talks about how it's just due to convention that they keep up and down, it unlocked the memory of the scenes from Ender's Game,where Ender chooses to decided in a Zero G environment which way is up and which way is down.

Two thirds of the way. They reach the moon tomorrow!

For those who are interested, closest approach and trip around the far side of the Moon should be on Monday, April 6th starting about 2:45 PM EDT and lasting until approximately 9:40 PM EDT

I know this is a plus thread, and I am really excited about this mission, but I had to share this:

I should add that NASA's live coverage event of the flyby starts at 1 PM EDT, on...
NASA+, Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Hulu, Netflix, HBO Max, Roku, and the agency’s YouTube channel.

I could not watch it live for similar reasons to others, but I think the shared joy in such an event is one of the few truly universal things the vast majority of humans can share.

Now to see if I can sell NASA on hiring me as a "vibe coder" for its launch software... I'm sure the AI will be fine!

Watched Project Hail Mary and re-watched The Martian over the weekend, which share and/or show some of that.

We rewatched Apollo 13 this weekend. And For All Mankind is back for s5!

Yeah, and we drive on parkways and park in driveways. We're just pants-on-head crazy like that.

And you exit highways via a "slip road" (according to my vaguely British-sounding "English (UK) Google Maps voice assistant thingy). Bananas.
