it's a bandwidth limitation
most of the bandwidth is used for scientific purposes
you have to queue up before you can download movies or games up there
```Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.```

```It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known. - Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot, 1994```
Carl Sagan...
Fuck
Who's chopping those onions?
tfw people are more traumatized over kobe's death
it's ok we have Anton for now
just because he was good at a playground sport
we were told to dream of the stars and then hit 2020 and all attempts to reach them has hit a brick wall where the only way to do so would be to admit the moon landings were faked
that's reaching hard
The moon landings were not fake
oh we landed something on the moon, if it was human it's a dead body
😛
no no, he's right, and also Epstein killed himself
We are generations from reaching the stars
damn shame they didn't follow through
they got severly demotivated
I'll give you this though
No, we made special suits to p[rotect ourselves agains the radiation bombardment
lol
but for most of us here, we will be first generation to witness inter-planetary travel for humans
Were nearly there, look at Space X and Elon Musk
nope
we'd need to recreate an earth ship that can be moved
We'll send the first human to mars within the decade
tfw Elon's funds dry up after paying settlements to families who got fucked by his Tesla's auto driving
Almost
the only moon missions I personally believe are real are Apollo 14 and 15
He pulled himself out of debt in 2008
none of them wanted to swear on the bible except for one astronaut regarding apollo 14
and 15 had the rover
won't it be funny that we were born too late for the shitty dark ages of humanity, but too early to have brain scans and live forever?
Probably a good thing
the rest of the missions are in question
if they were manned or not
