Mission mode change detected, now in Monument Mode Goodnight friends. After exchanging our final bits of data,

I will hold vigil on this spot in Mare Crisium to watch humanity's continued journey to the stars.

Here, I will outlast your mightiest rivers, your tallest mountains, and perhaps even your species as we know it.

But it is remarkable that a species might be outlasted by its own ingenuity.

Here lies Blue Ghost, a testament to the team who, with the loving support of their families and friends, built and operated this machine and its payloads,

to push the capabilities and knowledge of humanity one small step further.

Per aspera ad astra!

Love, Blue Ghost

#blue ghost #space things #‘mission mode change detected now in monument mode’#are you fucking kidding me pals #i really really cannot #our dying robot emissary on the moon feels a bit too on the nose #for These Times #years ago chris hadfield gave a talk at the place where i worked #and he answered all kinds of questions about space and told us space facts #anyway he related that it’s hard to sleep in space #because you close your eyes and still see bursts of cosmic radiation #no matter what you do #and you have to be like strapped down on a table #or else you will float away #anyway #thinking space thoughts #good night blue ghost #never sleep
