Love This!

So excited for this. I will be in DC at this time!

50 years ago, three Apollo astronauts rode this 363 foot tall rocket, the Saturn V, embarking on one of the greatest missions of mankind – to step foot on another world. On July 20, 1969, astronauts Buzz Aldrin, Michael Collins and Neil Armstrong made history when they arrived at the Moon. Thanks to the Saturn V rocket, we were able to complete this epic feat, returning to the lunar surface a total of six times. The six missions that landed on the Moon returned a wealth of scientific data and almost 400 kilograms of lunar samples. 

In honor of this historic launch, the National Air and Space Museum is projecting the identical rocket that took our astronauts to the Moon on the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C.

This week, you can watch us salute our Apollo 50th heroes and look forward to our next giant leap for future missions to the Moon and Mars. Tune in to a special two-hour live NASA Television broadcast at 1 p.m. ET on Friday, July 19. Watch the program at www.nasa.gov/live.

Allow us to reintroduce someone … the name’s Perseverance. 

With this new name, our Mars 2020 rover has now come to life! Chosen by middle school student Alex Mather, Perseverance helps to remind ourselves that no matter what obstacles we face, whether it’s on the way to reaching our goals or on the way to Mars, we will push through. In Alex’s own words, ⁣⁣

“We are a species of explorers, and we will meet many setbacks on the way to Mars. However, we can persevere. We, not as a nation but as humans, will not give up. The human race will always persevere into the future.” ⁣

Welcome to the family.⁣ ❤️

Here’s another photo of De (looking awesome in his coat, vest and tie) during the Star Trek production team’s visit to a NASA facility in 1967.

The photos below have been posted before by me and others (check out @star trek nasa visit), but I like to have them all together in one post, so there you go.

This show is freaking amazing!

Some of my fav quotes from ANDOR 1.10 “One Way Out”

“They just killed a hundred men to keep them quiet. What would you call that?” // “I’d call that power.” // “Power? Power doesn’t panic.”

“I’d rather die trying to take them down than die giving them what they want.”

“I’d feel far more comfortable paying you for your trouble.” // “A drop of discomfort may be the price of doing business.”

“I’m dead. I’m dead. I’m pretending to be dead.” // “Don’t die until you put up a fight.”

Kino saying “If we can fight half as hard as we’ve been working, we will be home in no time.” followed by “I can’t swim” stop i-

“ONE WAY OUT! ONE WAY OUT! ONE WAY OUT!”

“Whatever happens now, we made it.”

Luthen’s speech about sacrifice. Literally. The. Entire. Speech.

Agreed!

Remove the White Supremacists

Dear Tumblr @staff, 

In light of the recent white supremacist terror attacks worldwide: 

We, the Tumblr community (your community), implore you to change your previously passive policy against white supremacy and white nationalist extremist ideologies. 

Every major news station, social expert, and experts on extremist ideologies have identified that these extremist ideologies are spread and grown on online platforms: specifically social platforms. They have identified the major ways that communities can confront these violent extremist views; the biggest one being for social media groups to actually start removing user accounts that post and spread extremist white nationalist dog whistles, memes, and rhetoric.

Your users are begging for your help in stemming the rising tide of xenophobic violence. As has become evident by the recent terrorist attack in Christchurch, New Zealand, these ideologies don’t begin with violence, but with strategically spouted rhetoric and hate speech that riles up others who are vulnerable to being persuaded by their subtle methods. 

Please.  If you support the safety of your users.  If you support the Muslim Community. If you support the Jewish Community.  If you support People of Color.  If you support your users regardless of color or religious background. 

Then it’s time to start taking a proactive stance against extremist white supremacist and nationalist ideologies and remove them. 

The signatures and reblogs below should serve to show you how strongly your userbase feels about this. We all stand for a world without Hate. Do you?

I love this!

It‘s done!! My very first Stargate SG-1 drawing. Since Discovery is on hiatus now, you can count on me to send more Stargate drawings your way. 😉 We start with Jack and his buddy Thor. A Jack & Sam drawing will be next. (My poor shipper heart). Stay tuned! 😘

My exact thoughts when I heard that line.

A Mandalorian and a Jedi? They’ll never see it coming.

The USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A from Star Trek Beyond.  Launched from Starbase Yorktown in 2263.  Model by Alexander Klemm, render by PixelMagic.

If second season is even half as good as the first season was, I will be pleased.
