#The Space Race

[tempus-serpentes]

and to Félicette, I am sorry the man who grabbed your scruff to strap you into this strange and human contraption was slightly too rough. and I’m sorry they chose you because you were the most gentle, with the sweetest meow. and I’m sorry that you spent weeks amongst the stars, looking at the remnants of black holes, meteor dust and the scent of Laika that still floated through the cosmos and I’m sorry that when you returned, your paws having not yet touched the grass, humanity failed you a third time, and made science out of love.

and to Félicette, who I dream lays beside Laika in a bed of constellations, I hope you can forgive us. We cannot even begin to forgive ourselves.

October 12th, 1964 - a historic day for the Soviet Union and its space program. The spacecraft Voskhod, meaning 'Sunrise', was launched into Earth orbit, returning on the 13th as the first multi-manned space flight - as well as being the first without spacesuits.

"The crew on board consisted of the commander, pilot, and cosmonaut Vladimir Mikhailovich Komarov, the researcher and cosmonaut Konstantin Petrovich Feoktistov, and the physician and cosmonaut Boris Borisovich Yegorov."

Little detail I loved in Dune Part Two was Irulan recoding her notes on a futuristic phonograph cylinder because the AIs fucked things up so badly the entire human race is now fanatically opposed to anything as advanced as a calculator.

I think sonic had a really good time not being playable for once and just being supporting cast for his friend shadow. i just know he was soooo excited to explain the controls and not worry about rings and cheer on his friend (and sometimes be a final boss :3)

Hmmmmm Space Race

but it's adorable ancient of Space Danny who has a massive crush on the newest speedster but is too shy to interact. Que older brother or best friend Klarion going "I got this-"

An kidnapping the YJ in order for Danny to meet his crush or something equally unhinged.

"Look my little brother/bestie has a crush and so I figured a play date with his favorite hero would help get over it."

I always think about how tired he looks 😭

[stuckasmain]

Crying about Snoopy and NASA in the club. He’s just a little guy and he does Important work and they love him so much. 😭 he’s also literally been to space several times. Also, I don’t know if it’s still around but he’s also one of the higher awards in the field? Waahhhhhh
