That font had me thinking we landed on something called Carth for a sec.

It's the only E that's like that, for some reason.

[–] thenextguy@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And only when it’s the first letter? There’s two other E that are fine.

Yes, I found the font used

I mean, technically the first people to land on the moon were also the first people to travel to earth. I wonder if that technicality will be a point of debate for a distant future civilization since it was a round-trip

[–] EyIchFragDochNur@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'd consider Juri Gagarin to be the first who landed on earth

[–] BremboTheFourth@piefed.ca 6 points 1 week ago

Erm actually the first person to jump was the first person to land

You speak of 'landing' as if it were a choice, as if our ancestors stepped off a ship with a dream in their hearts and a map in their hands. No. They were dragged from the soil of their own homes, shackled in the belly of a beast, and dropped into a nightmare. That rock didn't welcome us; it crushed us. It was the foundation of a system built to keep us beneath it, to ensure that no matter how hard we pushed, the weight of that history would keep us pinned to the bottom.

Do not mistake the victim of a collision for a passenger on the ship. We were not the ones steering the vessel; we were the cargo, and the wreckage of that 'landing' is still felt in every generation that has had to claw its way out from under the debris"

No I mean your mom is as fat as the earth and the bitch landed on me.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Really depends on how the birth goes.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 18 points 1 week ago

very convenient that they all line up like that. has anyone checked the ridgeline of that quarry outside LA where kirk fought the gorn?

Putting earth as a world we landed is like putting your homeland in the countries you have traveled.

[–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Seems legit to me.

I've personally landed on Earth thousands of times.

Venus is really the most impressive of them all.
Especially with how little we knew of it before.

Um, sure it is. Just very fast & violently.

Needs clarification on "land"

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's still wild that we managed to put a Lander on Titan. Can't wait for the Dragonfly mission. Nuclear powered octacopter on Titan. We're going to learn so much.

[–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

It's such an amazingly awesome mission, I love every part of it.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Well, our robots.

Didn't something land on Mercury as well?

[–] Herr_S_aus_H@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Not landed, as far as I know. There were like three missions that flew by Mercury. Getting a stable route after having traveled so close to the sun is damn hard.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Right, Mercury is the "lump of clay" in the oven, not the volcany "pressure cooker" that is Venus. Mixed them up.

Just name the probe Daedelus. That should work.

We "landed"? Like had sex with them? Or "landed on"?
