How the media depicts the Apollo 11 mission:

Actual quotes from the Apollo 11 mission:

also according to michael collins when the three of them were discussing what neil armstrong should say when he first stepped on the moon, collins suggested armstrong say “Oh, my God, what is that thing?”  and then scream and cut out his mic.

all you’ve done is convince me that michael collins was one of the funniest men alive tbh

Michael Collins is a HILARIOUS SPACE ANGEL and I will shout this from the rooftops every time this post comes up on my dash. He showed up at my school in Boston for an event and the first thing he said was “I just learned what the state bird of Massachusetts is. It’s the upraised middle finger.” He followed up with “Buzz and Neil were bickering like an old married couple the whole time. It was nice to get some peace and quiet while they were on the surface. Forget being the farthest from all humanity, I just wanted to be the farthest from those two.”

Oh and let’s not forget his long and distinguished post-astronaut career in the State Department and as the director of the Smithsonian.

Reblogging again in memory of Collins’ passing today. Godspeed spaceman.

Inktober day 12: ‘whale’

The Decemberists have been my fave modern band for 12 or 13 years and a couple weeks ago I FINALLY had the chance to see them in person. So this prompt had to be an homage to The Mariner’s Revenge Song - one of the greatest songs of all time and the song that made me fall in love with them.

Once on IMDB I saw a “goof” which was that during a scene set in India(?), the light flicker was at the wrong frequency (in hertz). I wish I knew what movie it was to show you guys, I want to say it was some Marvel shit.

I always wondered how this person knew that. Was there an amazing Indian electrician who just instinctively felt the flicker rate was off? Did they go frame by frame and count the flickers per second?

I wanna say that was Tenet?

holy fuck
