Earthset captured through the Orion spacecraft window at 6:41 p.m. EDT, April 6, 2026, during the Artemis II crew’s flyby of the Moon. A muted blue Earth with bright white clouds sets behind the cratered lunar surface. The dark portion of Earth is experiencing nighttime. On Earth’s day side, swirling clouds are visible over the Australia and Oceania region.  In the foreground, Ohm crater has terraced edges and a flat floor interrupted by central peaks. Central peaks form in complex craters when the lunar surface, liquefied on impact, splashes upwards during the crater’s formation.

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

It’s nuts, and the wildest thing to me is that it’s entirely possible to shut off the falls completely by diverting flow through the hydroelectric plants and every once in a while they do that.

Just need to tether it to an ancient hard drive for maximum Digi F3 realism.

Latest thrift shop find, it’s in very rough shape and quite broken, but for $4.00 it’ll make a fun project.

Great camera, I think you'll be very happy with it. Mine still gets use alongside my D850.

This is why as a Humanist I'm not an anti-theist. If the goal is to promote human flourishing, and these folk prefer religion as the framework to do so, I'm not just for it, I'll do what I can to protect it.

CombiPlan! Great product, shame they’re so rare. My loading guide cracked a while back and so I’ve mostly switched to the Stearman press tank but if I could get a replacement I’d switch back.
