Rocket Launch Time Lapse As Viewed From The International Space Station

[God]

To celebrate the successful landing of NASA’s inSight space probe on Mars earlier today to study the planet’s rotation and internal structure, this is a completely unrelated timelapse video of a Soyuz-FG rocket launched from Kazakhstan on its way to the to deliver two and a half tons of materials. That is a lot of old magazines.

And as stunning and hard to believe that it’s even real as the video is, it’s a trip to realize that if you could zoom in far enough on that beautiful blue marble all you would see is a bunch of bipedal @$$holes and oceans filled with garbage. “Such a ray of sunshine".

Really good programmers.

Really good programmers.

Great achievement, talk about "smart" devices.

But has anybody ever though how all of these "scientists" would be employed otherwise.


I know there is some trickledown to private industry from this government funded organization, but to spend all of the $ to find out how mars was formed, etc, just another make work program, and of coarse, prestige.


Can't wait though, for media from the site being put up on the web.
