I am curious what the parachutes firing out look like.

NASA Image of the Day: Forty-Fifth Anniversary of 'Earthrise' Image

posted on December 24, 2013

Forty-five years ago, in December of 1968, the Apollo 8 crew flew from the Earth to the Moon and back again. Frank Borman, James Lovell, and William Anders were launched atop a Saturn V rocket on Dec. 21, circled the Moon ten times in their command module, and returned to Earth on Dec. 27. The Apollo 8 mission's impressive list of firsts includes: the first humans to journey to the Earth's Moon…

another angle:

Hopkins holding the "tray"

(no red bands on the suit means this is EV2, so Hopkins)

Add stars for hats!!

Undo

Hats!

JohnB

Btw, @Undo, I have new-found appreciation for your flagging

I told people in chat that if they wanted to easily get the flagging hats that they could flag old obsolete comments

queue barrage of invalid comment flags -_-

ManishEarth

@john no hat for stars today, right?

JohnB

yeah I just realized that :D

@ManishEarth is it true that your hat is manually awarded?

Undo

15:17

@JohnB resists temptation to pin that

@JohnB He can't say.

(and I won't either)

JohnB

hehe. At least I can rely on your flags being valid. I still verify and don't blindly delete, but it's less effort for meee

@jon realized the same thing today -- after having posted two limericks + two doge limericks in the DMZ before I caught on.

I'm trying to decide if it's a good sign or a bad sign that CMs don't hang out in here much anymore.

Wasn't there a question on how the air-lock on ISS is used?

Waffle's Crazy Peanut

16:12

@Everyone :12818332 Yep, that's where a few aged fellas mingle-mangle inside 10-by-10 rooms, and we crazy people inside that jail go crazier than ever, by seeing what the fella spews on the black wall (oh,, nowadays -- white wall) :P

@Everyone can I starred my message ? :P

Waffle's Crazy Peanut

@Everyone Well,, I haven't visited SeX.SE for a while :/

Undo

Bad Waffle.

SEx.SE is your home!

Waffle's Crazy Peanut

Pardon me... I was quite active during private beta so & so, but nowadays I can't even catch up with Phys.SE -_-

Everyone

@Hash No idea. I'd offer to star your message (assuming you mean the one about laddoos) but I do believe nobody other than we Indians would actually find it meaningful

Hash

16:14

@Everyone IIRC no there is no question on that ?

Everyone

@Waffle Active in private, eh?

Phy.SE has mushroomed

Waffle's Crazy Peanut

@Everyone Complete it... "Active in private -- in the internet" <--- sigh -_-

@Everyone yeah... I wasn't there during the beta though -- so, unlucky (lost a badge) :P

I posted Does NORAD have the only system that can track Santa? intending to delete it, after the holiday. There is a comment with an up flag, suggesting the creation of a "fun" tag. Should we create a 'fun' tag on Space Exploration? Note that while the Santa question would be appropriate for ...
