Or how from 1900-2000 we went from land based monkeys, to conquering the sky, to exploring space.

      You're right, and we do, but let me hopefully make you feel just a little bit better with another space related piece of information.
      The international space station has existed for the last 25 years and despite Russia threatening to pull out during the current war, they didn't actually do so. That makes the ISS a combined work of the space agencies of America, Canada, Europe(as a whole with most major countries), Japan, and Russia. In those 23 years, 279 people from 22 countries- different genders, religions and ethnicities- have lived and worked on this space station (8 people at a time, with others coming to replace them when they leave) and continue to do so to this day.

    After watching videos about the devastating tragedies of the Challenger and the Columbia I decided to watch this to make myself feel better because the negligence of those disasters makes me so damn upset.
    The Apollo 13 story is such a triumph of human endurance, bravery, and cooperation. It's almost unbelievable even all these years later, that they survived this.

      not even remotely similar beyond the surface level. "stupid man throws all known science and all good sense to the wind to have a rickety ass carbon fiber can visit a historic wreck site we already know how to visit safely and have done so on many occasions" vs "highly qualified team of bright minds and professionals pool all knowledge and cutting edge tech together at the bleeding edge of an endeavor to a distant and alien place upon which precious few have ever tread in order to send some of the world's bravest men on a historic journey". one of these is a farce led by a moronic narcissist who got everyone and himself killed on a mission that anyone with half a braincell knew was inevitably going to fail, and the other is the culmination of human ingenuity, and the strict adherence to safety and science, where a small but devastating error led to a disaster that was yet narrowly averted because everyone involved brought not just their A-game, but their SS-Tier game, which is why everyone survived.
      "a bunch of guys in a small space floating inside a really hostile big space" is about as similar as these two get. once you get past that, you realize just how many leagues apart they actually are. comparing the oceangate sub's laughably under-engineered, corner-cutting, science-denying construction to literally anything NASA has ever designed or built, is plain silly. does NASA always get it right? obvs not, as this - and the Challenger disaster - prove. but i don't know if oceangate got even one single thing right, apart from i guess wiring the steering correctly so that turning right goes right and turning left goes left, but... pretty sure a sufficiently well taught 8yo could do that, too, so it's not saying much. thankfully, the victims of the oceangate sub's implosion probably never even knew there was a problem before they were all dead, so they didn't have to contemplate their mortality or try to think up solutions to save themselves. not only is it a good thing for the sake of their mental wellbeing, but also because no one aboard would be qualified to problem solve anyway.

They gave us some building blocks, a big cardboard shield, and we were split into groups of 4. One person had a diagram that she had to describe to us while being being behind the piece of cardboard. The rest of us had to listen to her instructions, use the blocks, and build what she was describing. I dont think any of the groups managed to successfully do it.

    Imagine all these people would pray against children dying from famine. Imagine all these people uniting for the cause of fighting poverty. Why do we humans suddenly awaken in hope and empathy for something as outlandish as a space mission, while being indifferent to the misery in front of our eyes?
    This is an amazing story no doubt. Still I can't get around feeling odd about how for things like these suddenly everybody unites in spirit, while there are so many issues, so much injustice, so many people suffering and dying of way less heroic causes every day. ☮

    It's so impressive that none of them panicked. I'm sure they were absolutely horrified and thought they were going to die, but they kept calm and powered through. It cut very close, them surviving is one of the most lucky things I have seen. It would be so scary, especially getting to the atmosphere knowing that you make it that far just to burn up in the atmosphere of the earth. They showed incredible determination, mental strength and intelligence.

    I've heard the story of Apollo 13 from the Soviet side, my wife's uncle was the GRU interpreter when things went wrong, and he was watch on, stop on, until they landed. The Soviets offered any and all help to bring them home, and apparently checked all of NASA's calculations for possible errors. They probably had their own reasons for a successful recovery, but the USA and USSR could work together. My wife's uncle changed his attitude to the USA when he heard the genuine anguish and concern of Mission Control.

      To everyone reading this , quick question to ask you. Has anyone ever told you that the universe is indifferent to you and has no plan in particular for your life, and if you were to die right now , do you know for a fact your matter would decompose and put back into the earth? I want to tell you that general scientific consensus says that all have formed from evolution and thermodynamics may mean that death of anything that creates or consumes energy is inevitable through the constant loss of energy. But mass conservation is absolute , and the universe will continue without you. There is no confession , no decision , no belief , no prayer that will alter this outcome.
      Well, that is unless I’m wrong.
