DO YOU READ ME HAL

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this

Now kiss

I need to sleep immediately but first

Make this break containment.

Oh yes, this needs to break containment.

im down to help this cause

This is why aliens don’t want us in their Starfleet.

Are you fucking kidding this is why aliens should be begging us to join their Starfleet. The precision?? The CONTROL?? The absolute mastery this driver has over their 20+ ton of steel is superhuman. This person could weave a mothership through an asteroid belt without making a single scratch on the hull. Foh “aliens don’t want us” aliens should be sucking our dicks.

Ahh so this is - how do you say? - teabagging

Okay thinking about that one deleted scene from The Wire script where Sisko mentions he and Curzon worked at the Federation Embassy on Romulus and his Romulan friend was arrested by the Tal Shiar (calculations w Sisko’s age put this around 2360), what if they were there at the same time as Garak? Like the Embassies are probably clustered pretty closely together to keep the aliens in a single area so if they were in the same city, there’s a good chance they would cross paths with each other at one time or another.

Curzon Dax fucked Garak

I’ve always thought Jadzia and Garak would make great friends and peak wlw/mlm solidarity but THIS explains why they avoid each other and are almost never on screen together

Oh okay. So not from a script from the HBO series The Wire.

Big mood.

The best part is how you can see he’s trying SO HARD not to laugh here

Tim Curry: I’m escaping to the ONE place that hasn’t been corrupted by capitalism! [shaky breaths while trying not to smile] sssPACE

The funniest thing about this is that it implies this was the best possible take

i genuinely can’t imagine how anything could be a better take

liking star trek is a red flag. it's also an orange flag. and a yellow flag. and a green flag. and a blue flag. and a purple flag. liking star trek is gay. YOU are GAY.

“the millenium falcon would wipe out the enterprise in seconds” lmao the enterprise is just an innocent science class floating thru space…. all they wanna do is look at some rocks… kiss an alien…. find some space plants….. why would you fight that its not a battleship theyre just nerds…… leave them olone 

A friend of mine saw this and brought up some interesting arguments

so, in other words,

Pretty much.

here have some size comparison

Who wins in a fight, a fully staffed Navy research vessel or your local weed man and his best friend in their souped up VW Bus?

So while it’s true that the Enterprise is not as big as people think, that goes double for the Falcon!

A good way of thinking about the relative size is by using a bridge comparison:

The Enterprise bridge has space for 11 people to work, as well as a significant amount of space between stations to move around comfortably:

And the whole thing fits in the nipple thing up on top of the saucer:

Meanwhile the Falcon (beloved weed bus) has a cockpit that seats 4, with only 2 main operational stations, and zero floor space:

And since Serenity was mentioned too…

Serenity has a bridge more comparable to La Sirena - with 2 stations at the front and quite a bit of floor space.

And for those interested in a visual comparison:

(Boeing 747 for scale as well as the Delta Flyer because Why Not)

TLDR: The Millennium Falcon is pretty dinky, so I propose *true weed bus status* goes to the excellent smuggling ships of Serenity and La Sirena. The Falcon is herby demoted to man on his weed bicycle with his pet monkey and a gun (to be clear the monkey is Solo)

This is the analysis I am here for

I wanna see my little boy

i love it when drinks are weird colors this is because i was meant to be a machine and drinking delicious blue cooling fluid and such

imagine you saw an alien spacecraft and your first reaction was to critique its flat color palette and unimaginative lines

The Truth is Out There and It Has Bad Aesthetics

Because context actually makes the already great headline even greater:

the same man that made a movie about making giant robots to fight aliens SAW SOME ALIENS, INSULTED THEIR AESTHETIC, and RAN AWAY SCREAMING
