The first woman (Christina Koch), non-white person (Victor Glover), and non-American (Jeremy Hansen) in deep space. And Reid Wiseman.

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 49 points 3 months ago

Wiseman is the oldest to travel out of LEO.

High physical fitness is a requirement and that helps with the jaw line

To be an astronaut, you also need solid steel balls... and whatever the female equivilant would be to that statement.

Titanium uterus.

What's the galvanic corrosion rate between steel and titanium? Is this why they don't want astronauts to fuck?

3 of them were in the army.

Well it all goes away with the fluid shifts that happen in microgravity. Could you imagine the flabby chins that would occur with someone with a weak jaw line. I think its a self evident requirement.

Something about this hits the uncanny valley for me.

Touched-up with AI?

I think it might be the lighting and backdrop. They're brightly lit from one side, with a very dark background, making them really pop out. It reminds me of the lighting that was popular in 1990's formal portrait photos, which I always thought looked odd.

That, and the color of the suits really isn't helping.

[–] ink@sh.itjust.works 22 points 3 months ago

The color is so that they aren’t spotted by the space deer.

Professional photography has been around for a long time. There's lots of it.

AI basically just copies existing things.

Ai copies professional photography.

Photo looks professional.

Therefore, photo looks ai.

Not everything is ai

Professional digital editors who have existed for decades take days to to touch up photos for press releases.

Fucking morons on the Internet in 2026: is this AI??

The Artemis mission is so exciting

Heroic leader, super smart biologist/physicist, ace pilot, very polite weapons specialist who just likes blowing things up.

Not pictured: all the bags of pee

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I heard they were using an actual toilet this time? Which I would assume eliminates the need for bags of pee but I haven't really looked into it.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago (2 children)

The toilet is malfunctioning, but only for liquid waste, somehow

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Bummer. Hope fully they have backup bags.
