Angel | she/her, gnc | 25 | bi/demi | I post nsft sometimes so 18+ please! | Not spoiler free. I write way too much and am always down for new headcanons/prompts (AO3). Animal sideblog with all sorts of critters. People hate when I talk about my gender, which is honestly hilarious.
idk why, but for some reason i find photoshopped pictures of poptart boxes with fake ridiculous, outrageous flavor names to be the funniest freaking thing
Send me to Mars with party supplies before next august 5th
No guys you don’t understand.
The soil testing equipment on Curiosity makes a buzzing noise and the pitch of the noise changes depending on what part of an experiment Curiosity is performing, this is the way Curiosity sings to itself.
So some of the finest minds currently alive decided to take incredibly expensive important scientific equipment and mess with it until they worked out how to move in just the right way to sing Happy Birthday, then someone made a cake on Curiosity’s birthday and took it into Mission control so that a room full of brilliant scientists and engineers could throw a birthday party for a non-autonomous robot 225 million kilometres away and listen to it sing the first ever song sung on Mars*, which was Happy Birthday.
This isn’t a sad story, this a happy story about the ridiculousness of humans and the way we love things. We built a little robot and called it Curiosity and flung it into the star to go and explore places we can’t get to because it’s name is in our nature and then just because we could, we taught it how to sing.
That’s not sad, that’s awesome.
*this is different from the first song ever played on mars (Reach For The Stars by Will.I.Am) which happened the year before, singing is different from playing
He’s fucking rocking it tbh, godspeed to him or something
WHAT
This man looking like the world’s most confident dork does not shock me at all.
He has absolutely no clue what is expected of him, what is normal, what is appropriate or unusual, but he is 100% confident that he does. This look is exactly what I would expect him to look like.
And of course he’s rocking it. This man has a completely unshakable, completely unearned confidence in himself. He was never not going to rock whatever look he adopted.
Yeah you know what let’s get that out there too. You don’t get to disown this one, tumblr.
