Instead of worrying about what you cannot control, shift your energy to what you can create.

Apollo 11 Landing Panorama : Have you seen a panorama from another world lately? Assembled from high-resolution scans of the original film frames, this one sweeps across the magnificent desolation of the Apollo 11 landing site on the Moon’s Sea of Tranquility. The images were taken by Neil Armstrong looking out his window of the Eagle Lunar Module fifty years ago, shortly after the July 20, 1969 landing. The frame at the far left (AS11-37-5449) is the first picture taken by a person on another world. Toward the south, thruster nozzles can be seen in the foreground on the left, while at the right, the shadow of the Eagle is visible to the west. For scale, the large, shallow crater on the right has a diameter of about 12 meters. Frames taken from the Lunar Module windows about an hour and a half after landing, before walking on the lunar surface, were intended to initially document the landing site in case an early departure was necessary. via NASA

Best quote so far is 'What’s going to kill me next?’
As an engineering student and astronomy enthusiast, I don’t know why I didn’t start this sooner.
I got these from various used/rare book sales on campus 🍂 (fun fact, i got a 4$ hardcover copy of the secret history at one of those sales, which is great bc my paperback is super annotated and worn out)
fly me to the moon, let me play among the stars, let me see what spring is like on jupiter and mars.
