Preparing to board. Astronauts Pete Conrad & Gordon Cooper get set for Gemini 5, Aug 1965. The 7 day, 23 hour mission was the 1st time NASA held the world record for duration in space, having beat the USSR’s Vostok 5’s accomplishment in 1963. Hurricane Betsy’s impending presence cut G5’s mission short a day. The cabin size of the Gemini capsule was equivalent to the front seat of a VW Beetle. Nearly 8 days spent in such a small space. Incredible achievement.

These are the sort of astronauts i want to learn about! These are astronauts that inspire me!! Not katy fucking perry!! I mean, don't get me wrong, I'd love to hear about female astronauts, too. But real astronauts. Not billionaires that went on a spacex flight.

Also, y'all, I will be looking up these guys art & books!

TIME SINCE LAUNCH 115:22:16

— Whoopie! Man, that may have been a small one for Neil, but that's a long one for me . . . I'm going to step off the pad . . . Mark. Off the . . . Oooh, is that soft and queasy . . . Hey, that's neat. I don't sink in too far. I'll try a little . . . Boy, that Sun is bright. That's just like somebody shining a spotlight in your hand. Well, I can walk pretty well, Al, but I've got to take it easy and watch what I'm doing. Boy, you'll never believe it. Guess what I see sitting on the side of the crater! — The old Surveyor, right? — The old Surveyor. Yes, sir. [Laughs] Does that look neat! It can't be any further than 600 feet from here. How about that? — Well planned, Pete.

115:27:27 — NOT FALLING OVER

— Say, Houston; one of the first things that I can see, by golly, is little glass beads. I got a piece about a quarter of an inch in sight, and I'm going to put it in the contingency sample bag, if I can get it. I got it. Am I really leaning over, Al? — You sure are. On Earth, you'd fall over, I believe. — Huh? — On Earth, you'd fall over leaning that far forward. — It seems a little weird, I'll tell you. Don't think you're going to steam around here quite as fast as you thought you were.

137:39:26 — CONTENTMENT

— We're just sitting here now; we've got the spacecraft all squared away. I'll say everything's tied down, but man, oh man, is it filthy in here; we must have 20 pounds of dust, dirt, and all kinds of junk. — Roger, Pete. That'll be an interesting zero g. — Right. Al and I look just like a couple of bituminous coal miners right at the moment. [Silence] — But we're happy . . .

that and COVID denialism, obviously, which i somehow managed to miss despite *this* plot point below

UNIT aren’t always cops. they’re a nebulous enough fictional organisation that they can be whatever the show wants them to represent. in Lucky Day, they’re the NHS, the WHO, and they’re climatologists.

was bored and did this during class the other day. cant wait for people to scream at me

edit: made an extended version

I dunno, Pete Conrad, third man to walk on the moon is some stiff competition. His first word on the lunar surface was Whoopee!" followed by "Man, that may have been a small one for Neil, but that's a long one for me".

“'Think Tank' is a deliberate call-back to the story Robot from 1975. I figured Conrad did his research.” – writer Pete McTighe
