Imagine the pride you must feel to have your home planet come back into view, re-establish contact, and get all the news stories about your head of state saying “a whole civilisation will die tonight”.

@mattgemmell@mastodon.scot “We came in peace for all mankind”. Though to be fair the Vietnamese at the time may have scoffed at that as well.

@mattgemmell@mastodon.scot I tuned into the live feed early this morning when that world leader was chatting to the astronauts live. And I was impressed with the way they kept a straight face when talking to him. After all, the whole mission is so not to his agenda: A woman, a man of colour, and a Canadian aboard Integrity, and many women in charge on the ground in both the sciences and ground control.
