“rapid unscheduled disassembly” is one way to put it.
Reminds me of the “too much vertical velocity” comment you sometimes got when you crashed in the Chuck Yeager flight simulator games.

Unusual photos of Martian landscapes from Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter
Nice small collection of unusual photos of Martian landscapes from Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter at Daily Overview. I don’t know what the blue triangle thing is.
The description doesn’t say, but I’m guessing most of them are false-color or exaggerated.

An amazing composite photo of the Milky Way and Jupiter over the snow-covered Himalayas, via @apod. Photographer Tomas Havel took 8 exposures from the same spot over 3 hours and combined them to make this image.

Mastodon’s been trending again
So I noticed Mastodon’s been trending again & figured I’d take another look. I don’t need another time sink, but I figured it might be worth jumping in this time. Now to replicate just the good parts of that other network…
I should probably figure out what I want to talk about here before I try to figure out who to follow, huh? I mean, I’ll probably end up cross-posting photos & blogging (yes, I still blog), but other than that, do I want to talk about…tech? politics? comics? sci-fi/fantasy? I don’t think anyone I know IRL is here, so it’s a matter of topics for now.

Actually, what *is* the etiquette for cross-posting here?

So, the 5-7 interests meme (this feels like early 2000s LJ): #comics #scifi #space #computers #science #art #photography

Hmm, looks like I may want to check out wandering.shop for scifi/fantasy and photog.social for photography…

OK, so I’ve set up @kelsonv@photog.social for photography posting. I’ll probably keep this one for other stuff.
At first I wasn’t sure to make of this poster. “Believe” that we went to the moon? Well, yeah. Then the Powerball motif…
At first I wasn’t sure to make of this poster. “Believe” that we went to the moon? Well, yeah. Then the Powerball motif was pointed out, making it an ad for the state lottery.

But the lottery is all about blind luck, while the moon landings were planned out meticulously, calculated and tested stage by stage over years, *leaving as little to chance as possible*.
