One of my favorite images from the Apollo missions
I'd love to be able to have the opportunity to see the Earth from the moon like this. The way that the Apollo astronauts described it, it must be a wild feeling

Damn, I just remembered a game "to the moon", it's a fantastic game.
Don't think I've played that one. What's it like?
It's a very emotional game about a team that visits old people before death and uses a machine to fulfill their last wishes in virtual reality. Maybe I don't remember it correctly because I played it a long time ago. There are 3 games and I bought all of them but I never played past the first part because I can't get myself into playing any games at all for some reason.
Sounds interesting, I'll look it up. I have the same problem now to where I can't seen to finish any game before I lose interest, even when I really enjoy a game.
The astronauts had a lot of things to say about seeing the Earth from this perspective. A little blue marble floating in the void. The emotions they felt as they contemplated the Earth and humanity's place in the universe.
But they're not here so I'm going to summarize: Shit's delicate, be careful with it. It'd be a real bruh moment if we fucked up our one and only planet wouldn't it?
How come all these "photos" of the moon are always crystal clear, but when I look at the moon at night it's covered in clouds at least half the time?
