HI GUYS AND HAPPY HUBBLE DAY!!! longest 3 days ever waiting for my goat to turn 35. happy birthday, hubble
i love hubble so much bro i keep learning random facts about hubble that are so cool and im like “oh my god hubble you are so cool!!” and then start crying into my pillow,,, i would very much like to see more him in 20021 💔
my awesome thang. the rest is under the cut
basically everyone is going crazy over this. im basically going crazy over this
dude but like,, do you think we’ll skip 20021 entirely and miss whatever happens to nick and manny?? or will we start from 20021?? and what’s the format gonna be like?! is he still gonna publish it on secret base/sb nation?!?!
IM SO EXCITED. IM SO EXCITED
i can probably imagine nine oversleeping and waking up wondering if they’ve been hibernating for 1 year or 30,000
they check the calendar, and… “Huh…?”
…it says the year “50007.”
.aw shit
.wait so… so i slept through the-
.

.Fuck
.FUUUUUUUCK
still cant stop thinking about how ART was willing and ready to bomb an entire human colony no hesitation to rescue murderbot
In the 35 years since its launch aboard space shuttle Discovery, the Hubble Space Telescope has provided stunning views of galaxies millions of light years away. But the leaps in technology needed for its look into space has also provided benefits on the ground. Here are some of the technologies developed for Hubble that have improved life on Earth.
Charge-coupled device (CCD) sensors have been used in digital photography for decades, but Hubble’s Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph required a far more sensitive CCD. This development resulted in improved image sensors for mammogram machines, helping doctors find and treat breast cancer.
In preparation for a repair mission to fix Hubble’s misshapen mirror, Goddard Space Flight Center required a way to accurately measure replacement parts. This resulted in a tool to detect mirror defects, which has since been used to develop a commercial 3D imaging system and a package detection device now used by all major shipping companies.
A computer scientist who helped design software for scheduling Hubble’s observations adapted it to assist with scheduling medical procedures. This software helps hospitals optimize constantly changing schedules for medical imaging and keep the high pace of emergency rooms going.
For Hubble’s main cameras to capture high-quality images of stars and galaxies, each of its filters had to block all but a specific range of wavelengths of light. The filters needed to capture the best data possible but also fit on one optical element. A company contracted to construct these filters used its experience on this project to create filters used in paint-matching devices for hardware stores, with multiple wavelengths evaluated by a single lens.

fucking love cargo pants. are they ugly? yes. do i care? no. they have pocketssssss and i fucking love pockets. like fuck yeah pockets
ESA (juice people) HAS A MASCOT?? AND ITS A SILLY LITTLE CIRCLE GUY ? ?
AHHHHHH LOOK AT THEM MAN,, I WOULD LIKE DIE FOR THIS ALIEN??chat why didnt anyone tell me about this guy earlier 💔 ugh they are so cute DRAWING THEM RIGHTnow
umm. hi guys i been roaming in the tmbd posts (and js tumblr in general) here for a while BUT IM TOO SCARED TO INTERACT/POST 💔💔💔 but tv adaption trailer release and i think i can talk about it,, everyone seem friendly!!!
my opinion on it (right now) is HELL YEAH im really hyped im so excited,, first reaction was like “Oh,, um.. uh, this is okay…” and then it kinda grew on me (instantly)… the voice is rlly stupid its great & i dont rlly gaf about anything else as long as its murderbot (it is! and thats awesome!!!!) hoping everything turns out good
. Blehhhh tening it
