Our daily lives rely on trusting strangers won’t try to kill you. Every time we drive on public roads, eat food prepared by someone else, or we enter someone’s home, we trust strangers do not want to harm us.

“A classic that I never get tired of: the orange solar panel in front of the blue–white background and the curvature of Earth” wrote astronaut Thomas Pesquet (@thom_astro) of the European Space Agency from aboard the International Space Station. 

The space station serves as the world’s leading laboratory for conducting cutting-edge microgravity research, and is the primary platform for technology development and testing in space to enable human and robotic exploration of destinations beyond low-Earth orbit, including Mars.

Breaking Point

After Blue Diamond teases her for her forces being unable to defeat the Crystal Gems, Yellow Diamond asks her to see if any of the Gems in her court can do better. Using Blue Pearl, Carnelian and multiple Sapphires as stand-ins for the real Pearl, Amethyst and Garnet (the Sapphires wore a trenchcoat and sunglasses), Blue Diamond sends in wave after wave of Amethysts and other Quartz soldiers. Despite Blue Pearl’s requests to share her own ideas, she and the other Faux Crystal Gems successfully fend of all the attacks. Out of desperation, Blue Diamond hears out Blue Pearl’s idea to find a weakness, which consists entirely of tickling Carnelian and the Sapphires.
