The fact that this is just a handheld iPhone video and not a professionally shot thing makes it so much more surreal
Sadly, you can't see that anywhere actually on the moon, because of tidal locking.
Judging from first few seconds of this, I expected Cylon Raiders to come screaming across the horizon.
That part of the footage was not published.
The fact that the astronauts were replaced by cylons is also kept secret for now.
And they have a plan!
I ๐งโ๐ฆฒ am happy ๐ that you ๐ซต put these emojis ๐, otherwise I ๐งโ๐ฆฒ wouldn't have understood ๐คท
I still don't understand this use of emoji.
It's not "I shoved a ๐ต up my ๐", I could get that, reject alphabet return to pictogram for the sake of compression if nothing else. But no, it's "I shoved a cactus ๐ต up my dick ๐" which is just...why are we doing this?
Does this make them the first people to never see the Earth?
I used to know a guy who saw the Earth once.
No, the Apollo missions also circled the moon.
No, I just closed my eyes.
What goes through your mind at that point? Like... the train of thought at that point had to be just wild.
"Sure hope that's still there when we come around the back!"
I think its one of those moments that is awesome at the time, but it sticks with you forever and over time you appreciate it more and more.
Shhhlooop... and gone
Looks utterly fake
Your downvotes are unjustified. You're not saying it IS fake, but it does indeed LOOK fake. We're not used to seeing that side of the moon, nor are we used to seeing it that sharp. And with no atmosphere, it's not fuzzy.
I agree, it absolutely looks fake, which is what makes it all the more amazing. :)
Is most be fake. I don't see any cheese.
