Most photographers have a bucket list of photographs they would like to capture in their lifetime. Reaching this goal usually takes that entire lifetime, and the motivation is realizing you never stop adding to the list. One of the entries on my list is a photograph of earth from outer space. While I do understand that it is probably impossible, at this point in my life I will not rule it out completely. So until
@nasa sends that email telling me that there’s an extra seat on their next mission, I’ll leave it up to the brave souls that actually train to go to outer space.
Now that I’m done rambling I had the opportunity to preview the new “Destination Moon” exhibit at
@airandspacemuseum with the
@nasaartemis II crew. This includes
@astro_christina ,
@astrovicglover ,
@astro_reid , and
@astrojeremy . Their launch is scheduled for 2024 and will be the first crewed mission to the vicinity of the moon in more than 50 years.
Photo: My goal was to find a single photo to share with you that would be a complete visual representation of the mission itself. The people involved, technology, purpose, history, imagination, and bravery. What I found was this photo of Neil Armstrong’s famous quote while standing on the surface of the moon. His words reflected off the helmet of the suit he wore is an example of how far we’ve come and how far we’re going. It is believing that anything is possible and you have the opportunity to be that beacon of possibility.
“That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” - Neil Armstrong
