Reid Weismann seems the be the mission commander, for anyone wondering.

This was intended before the mission. After conducting observations they were going to propose naming two craters. One for his wife, and the other for the space craft "Integrity". The final approval is going to have to be from the International Astronomical Union (IAU) as they control the naming of all celestial bodies and geographic features on them.

Look at Antarctica, it is full of wife names as well.

I hate that it's more click favourable to explain how you should feel in posts.

"Are we all sobbing?!" Is just so unbelievably cringe I downvoted out of reflex. This would be 100000x better if they just didn't say that last part.

"Are you sad too? Let me know in the comments." I will not let you know in the comments.

Rage rage rage

this is such whiplash

i wish i could geek out and go back to being a mid 2010s closeted trans and unleash my kerbal fueled special spaceflight interest again.

that me would be so into this mission i would be excited about every tiny detail

I was having a conversation with my radlib friend earlier and he was telling me about this like "and they're gonna make a moon base, it's all so cool and exciting " and I simply could not hide my disdain for the idea that the US would ever do anything cool or exciting lmao

It felt like talking to one of those cultists who are like "you'd better get your affairs in order because next week Jesus is gonna be here!" Like yeah dude, I'm sure, let's talk next month about how that went

You probably can unleash your special interest again without denying yourself.

I'm not trans (I think), but I do hyperfixate (probably on the spectrum, a shrink even said so but he wasn't abilitated to do an official diagnosis), and I feel like one of the good things about hyperfixations is how they're things outside of yourself, and how you feel about them isn't too affected by how you feel about yourself or your immediate surrounding. I feel if I became a girl, my interest for my hyperfixations, including past ones would be one of the most consistent things about me, I wouldn't feel the need to change or deny them even as I'd change everything else.

Sorry if my experience isn't relevant tho, I may not understand every trans issue.

American overcheesyism

I’m more annoyed by the spelling tbh
