STAR WARS REBELS (2017) | THE MANDALORIAN (2019-)

excuse me but whether you love them or hate them you can’t deny that Berlín, Palermo and Alicia Sierra are the most captivating characters because Pedro Alonso, Rodrigo De la Serna and Najwa Nimri simply play in a whole different league

Research

What would aliens think about research? By that, I mean the research of treacherous things, like volcanoes. Humans can send in drones to get samples or survey an environment, but sometimes, and especially in the times when research methods weren’t as advanced as today (or at times of space travel).

For example, Isaac Newton stuck a needle in his eye and poked around to study how humans perceive colors. (He did learn a lot but… eugh.) Sir Humphrey Davy generated chemical reactions and inhaled (potentially dangerous) gaseous products to note what happened. One scientist tried heart catheterization on himself when he couldn’t get approval to try it on a human.

Maybe aliens would think that humans were pretty dumb for doing all that, but it was early on, and these guys have learned better now.

Oh, no. There is currently a lava lake in Antarctica that occasionally spews a fall of fire now and then. Scientists go to that lake, in the freezing cold, with the risk of lava bombs spewing at them, to take measurements and make observations of the area. Sure, there are sensors too, but scientists still go to physically visit the area for data.

Scientists will go into submarines to study the deep ocean, a place with little or no sunlight and strange, possibly dangerous creatures. In addition, the pressure underneath all that water is immense. If a problem happened and the submarine was damaged, results could very easily be fatal.

Speaking of nature, there are scientists who will go into rainforests to meet 9possibly hostile) natives living within, or to learn more about animal behavior. It’s very risky work. There is a constant threat of predator attacks. The plants could kill you if you don’t pay enough attention. You could very easily catch a disease from the wildlife and fall gravely ill.

And what about space travel? Humans stuck themselves on rockets loaded with fuel and tried to get outside of the atmosphere. Sure, they ran tests and simulations, but no one knew for certain if it would really work. Some rockets exploded, killing the astronauts within. It was a very real possibility for anyone in a rocket but humans kept trying anyway.

Sure, humans take every safety precaution they can think of. Sure, they spend lots of time, energy, and resources to keep fellow humans as safe as possible. They still knowingly place themselves in possibly extremely dangerous situations for the sake of science. How strange is that?

50th Anniversary of the Lunar Landing - July 20th, 1969

Apollo 11 was launched on a Saturn V rocket from the Kennedy Space Center on July 16th, 1969 carrying Commander Neil Armstrong, lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin, and command module pilot Michael Collins. Armstrong and Aldrin became the first humans to land on the surface of the moon when the Apollo Lunar Module Eagle landed in the Sea of Tranquility on July 20, 1969, at 20:17 UTC. Nearly a day later the men rejoined Collins in the command module Columbia, held in lunar orbit, and set a trajectory back to Earth. After over eight days in space Apollo 11 splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on July 24th.

The black and white images of the first lunar landing were received and broadcast live to at least 600 million people on Earth, around a fifth of the total population, a viewership record at the time. Within the USA, 94% of American televisions tuned in to the broadcast.

i don’t understand why people aren’t interested in astronomy

like you can look up into the night sky and see a fucking galaxy with your naked eye like you can see cosmic structures that are millions of light years across and if you don’t think that’s the coolest fucking shit then iono what to tell you

Odin’s Children

Tom Hiddleston behind the scenes of ‘Thor’, (2011). Extras.

“One of the most interesting conversations Chris [Hemsworth] and I kept having was, ‘What does Loki want in the end?’ What does he want? I was unable to come up with a definitive answer. Perhaps because I don’t think Loki even knows. He’s become so accustomed to occupying opposition. Whatever the status quo is, he’s opposed to it. That’s why he’s a trickster, a shapeshifter, a deceiver, a strategist, a manipulator.” (Hiddleston)
