Incredible picture, but I know nothing about blue ghost!
What’s this satellites mission?

That’s no blue ghost, that’s old Mr McGonagall! He must have used a flashlight and some sausages to just make people think the old porno theatre was haunted.

Saw this on CNN. Seriously…? That’s it…took a picture of the ground. So amazed right now. Boooooo! Booooo!
Seriously, though. I hope they put out some better pics. This is a pretty big deal!

Used to be 17. So they probably think about modern 20 year olds to be 17 year olds. 🤷 Seems accurate
Oh shit oh shit oh shit! Is that a space bug I see?!
The website stated they wanted ro concentrate & focus on mission…
