Exciting times. Looking forward to the moon base. Then I can finally get off this planet.
I remember watching the first moon landing on TV in 1969.
I wish I was around for that. Seems crazy now since we haven’t been back to the moon in a long time.
I don’t believe we should spend so much money on space travel.
It is an exciting time for the world but especially for the United States.
It’s times like this that make me proud to be an American!
Awesome picture, how deep the darkness is… Hopefully the mission is a success.
Rumor has it that Neil Armstrong buried the cure for schizoprenia on the moon which he had with him from earth to hide from the Russians over 50 years ago.
Over the years the occurance of crazy people has elevated to such proportions that they finally decided to recollect the cure.
Looking forward to get it back to earth
really it was that late? hmm i always thought it was like in the 50’s or something
we cant let them find it! loool i wont let them take my crazies away 
agreed. were traveling to space on the budget that should be going to starving people in 3rd world counties. its a fact
The Russians launched the first satellite in 1957 and sent the first man into space in 1961.
true cool hmm, its crazy to think from 2000 to now is almost as long as from 1969 to 2000 . 5 years off but still
We need to land on the moon again just to shut up the moon landing deniers if you ask me.
there half way to d moon
If it was really just a case of money then why hasn’t the Gates foundation solved poverty yet?
They send some cool pics of Earth from out there, it’s a small place after all. Looking forward to the future updates.
Cause they don’t care about poor people otherwise they’d spend the entirety of the amount they have. There is enough food in the world for everyone. The problem the rich are robbing the poor by leveraging their wealth.
They published some pictures from inside the capsule, really atmospheric, and small place to live in.
Thinking long term its a good idea to continue our space program probably. Its no rush and this is a long way out, but in the very long term its a good idea to diversify our habitated planets in case of the eventuallity of a global catastrophe. I mean, this is thinking very long term. We have a zillion problems here on earth that need dealt with 2, but I dont think its a bad idea to sink a small portion of our wealth in exploration and eventual expansion.
We need faster traveling times to really get anywhere but if we continue to invest a little here and there, hopefully we will get there before there is a global catastrophe.
To me, it seems essential to the long term survival of the human race.
