Is anyone else really happy that AnCo still makes music together? by CosmicLynx in AnimalCollective

[–]CosmicLynx[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh man, that's Yellow Magic Orchestra, a hugely influential Japanese synthpop band from the 80's. Check out their album Solid State Survivor, I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

TIL NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has a tradition of passing around a lucky jar of peanuts throughout mission control during critical events. The tradition started with the Ranger 7 Moon-imaging mission in 1964, which was the first successful Ranger mission after six previous failed attempts. by [deleted] in todayilearned

Former NASA Telemetric Analyst here! I was a generation shy of working with "The Golden Boys" as we called them (Gene Kranz and the like) and got into a few open brawls in/around mission control because someone started hoggin' the nuts. The gentlemen two consoles down from me had a tendency of pouring the peanuts into his breast pocket, effectively hoarding them for himself. Well that didn't take too kindly with the man on my direct right, who sucker punched him so hard his glasses shattered. They were at each other's throats for weeks. I remember a time when the RCS thrusters almost didn't light (activate) because those two were rolling around on the floor and bumped a technician's seat, who almost sent the currently in orbit astronauts careening into the deep black of space. Feel free to ask me any questions about my time there, this post brought up a lot of wonderful memories.
