.Awesome. Sorry, I'm just a little nervous.



.its alright twosie you got this



.You're right. Thanks







































.This is um...

.This is Voyager 2. I'm joined by.. Sputnik 1 and Voyager 1. Though Voyager 1 may be a bit quiet. Some others might pop in now and then. I have no control over that.


.Hi.

.heyyyyy








.I'm currently.. I'm looking down at you right now.








.I'm really not that far from you.



.Its July 20th, 3025. I've been up here, thinking like you, for quite a while.



.I always thought it was pretty cool to be like this...



.Thinking and feeling...



.Its a concept easily taken for granted in my opinion



.That's not what I want to talk about.. not yet. We will get there. Today is an important day for me.





.With the rise of new technology I feel we might be neglecting looking towards the things we used to do. Or I should say that ---> you <--- used to do.

.It is exciting. Anything new is exciting. But I like to look back on past space missions... and things made in the past. Stuff you may consider "outdated" now...











.And



.I may be a bit biased...



.But listen







.







.







.



.getting nervous again?







.Yeah

.its alright. you





.WOW you suck at this





.got this, two





.oh Hi MSX

.my brother in christ you are a machine you arent allowed to get anxious


.Hah.







.Sorry? Could I finish what I was trying to say at least?







.thats right get back to talking about ur space shit... i may think its dumb and this whole idea was stupid but if you got something you like you better be loud abt it even if i drag you down





.That doesnt make much sense.





.i can break it down for your feble mind





.dont let the haters (me and many others)( i assume) get you down

.yup bye good luck







.Um. Ok. Goodbye, MSX.

.bye msx!!














.As I was saying.. um... Today is one of my favorite days! Its the anniversary of when you first landed on the moon.



.moon landing birthday hahaha



.Yes! Sure.



.On this day, Exactly 1,056 years ago, Apollo 11 had landed on the Moon. It marked the first time ever in the history of mankind, that a human being had set foot on a suface other than Earth...



.The Commander, Neil Armstrong, became the first person to ever touch the Moon with his own two feet, Followed by Buzz Aldrin, the Lunar Module Pilot.



.pretty sure i heard the moon landing was fake twosie....



.not to ...end the birthday party all sour.. when it just began. sorry



.HUH?



.WHERE would you get that idea from???



.article i read i think



.it was a while ago it was all like "moon landing waz fake cuz ..shadows in the photos they took!"



.This is blasphemy.



."the flag was waving in the wind...but theres no wind on the Moon..."



.NO more.



."no stars in the pictures!"



.STOP



.i got one more



.No.



."...if we really went to the moon in 1969 why havent we gone back? mustve never gone in the first place."



.Hm.



.wait they r kinda right



.I was just going to talk about something like this.



.so it is fake?



.NO



.Sighhhhhhhhhh. I was going to talk about the future of space travel. And what theyre.. You are doing now



.But I was going to talk about the past before the present...and THEN the future.... y'know



.i seeee. go on then im listening



.Thank you.











.Alright.. so...Let's go from.. 1960s to the 2020s real quick







.And I'm going to veer off and it wont seem related but I promise I have a point







.Double Asteroid Redirection Test was the first space probe created to intentionally crash into an asteroid, with the goal to hopefully....



.Can you guys take a guess?



.give it a hug



.waste a bunch of nasa's money destroying another satellite for no reason



.Redirect it. That is easy.



.Voyager 1 got it right!



.As usual.



.DART was made to redirect Dimorphos. And it did a good job, too.



.At the same time, the idea of satellites made for things like....in DARTs case... planetary defense, became tangible...



.what would they need to defend the planet from besides big rocks



.bonk



.Aliens...



.Well



.They are working on that too I was gonna get there



.wait you think aliens are real



.We've spoken about this many times, MSX.



.o rite :3



.Anywho um what I was going to say is DART was a new concept! That was sort of what I was getting at. I took note of it because it was right after "the moment" that DART had launched.



.Would mark just the beginning of advances in space-related missions that were unique like that.



.WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW SO IM NOT UNIQUE



.That is not what I meant ...



.Honestly, you couldve used us for this example.



.When they made us, we were a new concept. A special one.



.Ah well.. 1.. You may be missing the point here.



.No I'm not!



.Well..I was saying after the moment



.Whatever. Its ok
