2000 vs Now: 15 Years of Humans on Space Station

Humans have been living in space aboard the International Space Station 24-7-365 since Nov. 2, 2000. That’s 15 Thanksgivings, New Years, and holiday seasons astronauts have spent away from their families. 15 years of constant support from Mission Control Houston. And 15 years of peaceful international living in space. 

In November 2000, many of us stuck on Earth wished we could join (at least temporarily) the Expedition 1 crew aboard the International Space Station. Floating effortlessly from module to module, looking down on Earth from a breathtaking height of 350 kilometers…. It’s a dream come true for innumerable space lovers.

But be careful what you wish for! Living on the Space Station also means hard work, cramped quarters, and… what’s that smell? Probably more outgassing from a scientific experiment or, worse yet, a crewmate.

To get a feel of how long ago that was, this is what the world looked like then vs. now:

2000: Eminem released The Real Slim Shady

Now: Scott Kelly listens to  Eminem from space as part of his “Songs of a Year In Space” Spotify playlist

Clive Dove and his most amazing plans.

And, actually, if you tell someone to kill themselves it’s considered “encouraging suicide” and you can be fined up to 25,000 dollars and be put in jail for over 10 years for doing it. If you were to commit suicide, they could be charged with manslaughter. So it’s really not in their best interest to harass you.

Do you people remember that one time I did a post about my opinion on people who’re are like “anti-feminism, pro-equality” and anti-SJW people got pissy? ‘Cause I’m reminded of it everyday by people who’re calling me a “retard” and that I should “kill myself”…

Let me make this clear, I don’t care if you don’t consider yourself a feminist but still consider yourself for female rights, ‘cause in the end I’m gonna keep calling you a feminist ‘cause that’s what you are. I don’t care that much about you though, ‘cause in the end you’re for human rights, so there’s no point in complaining about that…

… Even if I know some of you are on the bad side considering you’re saying stuff like “retard” like an insult, that’s just plain bad on too many levels…

 it’s a good thing my grandpa knew this

HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE Let’s say it’s 6.15pm and you’re going home (alone of course), after an unusually hard day on the job. You’re really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself..!! NOW HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE… Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can perhaps buy precious time to get themselves to a phone and dial 911.

I AM SO GLAD I NEVER GOT NINTENDOGS

I COULD NEVER LIVE WITH THIS 

i was thinking about nintendogs earlier

@vitariesocks

Why did I do this. 

This would explain all his stress eating 

the old scooby doo movies centered around scooby and shaggy are so weird because instead of portraying all the monsters as humans in masks like the basis of the rest of the series, they were always encountering real monsters??

i mean no wonder scooby and shaggy are always so scared when they see people in masks.  they know there are real monsters.  one time dracula tried to turn shaggy into a werewolf.  they taught at a school for monster girls.  like??  nobody knows the terrors they have seen
