Astronauts launching. Artemis 2.
Overview effect or what?
There is still three hours to launch at the time of this writing. They would be retarded if they don't bring a VR camera. There is still three hours to strap in a VR camera.
"Do it!!!" Emperor Palpatine, Star Wars
I've gone to the moon in VR
Apollo 11 VR
Into Space VR
Journey to Impossible VR
Going to the moon. I am excited for them. I wouldn't say I envy them.
Torpor of the mind prevents all envy of any Astronauts let alone any inclination to want to actually want to do that myself.
The elevator ride up is anxiety inducing enough. It's one of the fastest elevators on Earth going 60 floors a minute.
The walk along the gantry way to a room where to the right is the entry to the rocket.
When I walked the gantry way, the thing was high. Think 100 storeys above the Earth high. In VR, in prétend, I walked the gantry way and then said, F this, I'm not going. And I turned around 180 degrees. The elevator door was closed and locked. I said, Oh well, wtf, I guess I'll do it.
Shazzer, Bridget Jones. She likes to say the word F a lot.
The door to the rocket is a sliding door that's usually closed.
Even though I'm not, I read the novel Queer from William S Burroughs. He was in a backwater town in Mexico, in the jungle, and he was in an out of the way restaurant with a young Jewish guy named Allen he was trying to put the moves on. The restaurant was minimalist. Food was served through a closed door and out of a rectangular hole in the door attached to a ledge which reminded Burroughs of prison.
That door which the Astronauts have to go through to get to the rocket reminds me of the hole in the door in that novel.
The the Astronauts get to the moon and have to land. It's like a pilot sidestick. Except a person doesn't push forward the sidestick the entire time, Drachen sie gashebel nach vorne. One oushes in that direction for just a second. This releases thrust. But there is limited thrust fuel that's why it isn't pushed in that direction the whole time. Just corrective moves. Another level like a faucet on a tap, lowers the command module. Turn the tap to the left to lower it and then quickly right back to prevent it from lowering any further. When approaching the crater, turn the faucet thing to the left and just leave it there which will bring the module down slowly. That's how it's done in VR and I did that on cheque day last week. I successfully piloted the lunar descent module to the crater spot referred to as Tranquility Base on the Sea of Tranquility.
Leaving the module was through a hole in the floor. How Spartan.
That's Spartan fare for a Tartan queer.
Let alone the food they have to eat. Dehydrated food in pouches. Like with Sea Monkeys, for fun, just add water.
Do they get to smoke a cigarette? Absolutely not!
What about some hash?
"Take a wild f*cking guess!" Midnight Run
The new Meta quest apps for April were meh.
Da Vinci's Quest - obfuscating
Prison Boss Prohibition - Didn't understand it. At all.
The rest were forgettable.
The following is quotes from Apocalypse Now or the future Artemis mission, I'm not sure:
Lance: It's beautiful.
Chef: What's wrong with you? You're acting kinda weird.
Lance: Remember that last tab of acid I've been saving?
Chef: Yeah.
Lance: I dropped it.
Chef: You dropped acid?! Far out!!
Hopefully it's not quotes from the Artemis mission, otherwise, ugh...
Little Nook VR. Color themed dioramas. White, green, red, blue.
Great app or what?
