I’m in this photo and I like it.
I can only imagine what it’ll be like the first time a person is on Mars, and they look up into the sky, and everything they know, and love, is just a tiny illuminated speck. All their friends, family, everyone they have met, and will meet, are on that itty bitty dot.
Shit blows my mind.
This blows my mind.
Crazy how that martian cloud happen to look like an arrow and the word “Earth” right next to earth
Honestly surprised the night sky of mars isn’t filled with stars like it is here on Earth with low light pollution. Why’s that? Low exposure time I’m assuming?
When a human being manages to see the Earth from another planet and there are still people thinking that the world is flat.
I did not give permission to be in this photo! 😝
