Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!
General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

ELI5?
Basically they weren't originally planning on taking a photo of earth from the moon. The fact that they even had a camera was due to interest from a few astronauts in the earlier missions. The camera had its viewfinder stripped to save weight, so the astronauts couldnt see what they were filming. On that mission they were only planning to take photos of the moon's surface. And then they decided in the moment as the earthrise happened, that it needed to be photographed, and out of tons of shots they only got one clear image.
Maybe a little clickbaity but "It's highly imporbable that they got this shot" doesn't ring the same
Brilliant, thanks.
Doing God's work.
my dude it is a youtube video and I am not chatgpt
Why spend 15 minutes to get the answer when it can be explained in a few paragraphs?
Because the video is nice in and of itself. You do you though, no one's forcing you to do anything.
There’s nothing wrong with wanting a short TL;DW summary. I’ve already seen the video a while ago, but I don’t remember all the exact details.
the answer to what?
Most people don't like a paragraph worth of information being stretched out into a 14 minute video. Luckily someone already provided the info in another comment.
I'm convinced this is what death of attention span looks like
When the internet is riddled with clickbait and sensational headlines, we’re getting quite protective of where we want to put our attention.
Still not a defense for demanding abridgings to suit one's entitlement. If I think something is sensationalized or clickbait, I move the fuck on without demanding somebody else play stenographer for me.
Death of attention span is real but not wanting to listen to ten minutes of bullshit waffle, please like and subscribe, for two minutes of information is not it.
That could be someone's creative output. Hell, that could be the paycheck someone's eating off of-- and you and others like you out here "can it be condensed? I rly don't wanna hear it". If it's not death of attention span, then it's atomized, anti-social fuckshit; so either way this ain't the defense strat you think it is
Ok? We're not obligated to watch stuff just because it's someone's creative output. We don't owe this person a paycheck through YouTube ads. Everyone's got the right to have the necessities of life but that's got nothing to do with this. Different people have different interests, and someone who's really into this subject or this creator might want to watch the whole thing, but not everyone has to.
It's the principle of the thing. You clearly have the free-time, otherwise you wouldn't be here. You clearly have the interest, otherwise you wouldn't be in this thread. And yet, you demand an abridging of someone's creative output to suit your entitlement. Tfu.
If you only have the time to demand abridgings of people's work, maybe you shouldn't be on this site. I'm sure twitter or reddit would be more your speed.
Nobody is obligating anyone to watch this video.
No, but you’re sensitive af, just don’t respond next time.
tf u smoking? that dude responded to me
Tf you smoking, he wasn’t asking you directly. That’s not how these platforms work. Go outside you’ll feel better.
