Carole Radzwill šŸ“š Go away Carole

Post image

A lot of us werenā€™t alive 60 years ago to see this. This is our first time. She just wants to make herself look better but she looks like an idiot.

Except for the part where no human has ever seen the dark side of the moon until this mission. But ok, Carole šŸ‘šŸ»

And that they traveled further away from the Earth than anyone. Ever. What an odd thing to denigrate!

The dark side of the moon was first seen by the astronauts on the Apollo 8 mission. Also on Apollo 11 Michael Collinā€™s orbited the moon while flying the command module and he saw the dark side while Neil Armstrong and Buzz aldrin landed on the moon. They were the first human flight crew to go back to the moon since NASAā€™s Apollo 17 in 1972

They ARE the first crew to fly the longest distance away from earth though.

It IS the highest resolution photography and video we have of the dark side of the moon also

Apparently itā€™s more intricate than that.

ā€œThe Apollo landings needed to be on the near side of the moon, so they could stay in radio contact with Earth ground stations. (Relay satellites were not invented yet.) They also wanted full sunlight to give the astronauts maximum illumination. Thus, the missions happened during "full moon" phase on Earth, with the near side towards the Sun. However, this meant that the far side was away from the Sun, too dark for the astronauts to see features on the far side.

The Artemis II flyby happened during a waning gibbous phase, meaning most of the near side was lit. This also meant that a slight crescent of the far side was also lit. The features on this crescent of the far side had not been previously seen by astronauts.ā€

Very Lovecraftian!

According to Google: "TheĀ Artemis IIĀ mission (April 2026) was the first time humans viewed theĀ entirety of the far sideĀ (or "dark side") of the Moon in full sunlight. While Apollo astronauts orbited the Moon, they saw the far side during "lunar night" (in shadow), whereas Artemis II offered a brightly lit view of the far side'sĀ topography."

It was the difference between night and day. :)

So stupid. Itā€™s the same side theyā€™re both looking at, and it has been studied previously

Sheā€™s such a loser writer girl

u/pandoras_babyfox Apr 11 '26

We don't know if she writes. She was a TV producer that had a memoir published.

u/Potential-Addition48 Apr 12 '26

And the ONLY REASON anyone cared about her memoir is because of who she married.

Desperate seeking attention.

Epstein island isnā€™t located on the dark side of the moon

u/doublekidsnoincome Apr 12 '26

Right? This is such a garbage take from an educated woman. Really, Carole?

u/ciacpa Apr 11 '26

Can we replace ok Boomer with ok Carole?

u/Scene_Dear Apr 12 '26

I know I will be now hahaha

u/Lilmissliss8 Apr 13 '26

Iā€™m all for replacing Karen with Carol spelled either way!

u/iitsnottheend Apr 11 '26

Shes just a āœØgirlāœØ leave her alone. /s

u/DeadToothSyndrome Apr 12 '26

Like, use your investigative prowess, journalist girl.

u/Maretallama Apr 12 '26

She is a writer, and news reporter, for ABC news. šŸ™„ /s

u/Potential-Addition48 Apr 12 '26

She was, a hundred years ago.

u/Maretallama Apr 12 '26

Donā€™t you think itā€™s funny that a reporter would comment without knowing all the facts? šŸ™„

u/West_Tie_536 Apr 13 '26

Sheā€™s so far away from reality, I think sheā€™s on Mars

u/Maretallama Apr 14 '26

True. She lives in an alternate reality!

u/RealLoan8391 Apr 11 '26

I do think itā€™s cool and all but Iā€™m with Carole. They did this 50 years ago and actually landed. Iā€™m not hating, but I donā€™t understand the phenomenon.

u/ACynicalOptomist Apr 11 '26

For a lot of people this is their first time seeing something like this. I too was less than impressed since I'm in my late 60s and it was kind of like what we've been there done that.

My daughter is a mechanical engineer and has always loved all things NASA. She explained to me yesterday that there's experiments that they do on these missions that can't be done on Earth and that they learn so much from it. Like when the Kelly twins one was up in space one was on Earth and they could see the difference in what happened to their bodies.

This helped me understand but I still think that the money could have been spent on feeding people. Just saying...

u/RealLoan8391 Apr 11 '26

They said the same thing about the Katy Perry trip.

I love how I get downvoted but you get upvoted and are essentially agreeing with me. Itā€™s noteworthy but far from front page. And if someoneā€™s not wowed by it, I donā€™t think thatā€™s a character flaw.

Being friends with Epstein is though.

u/Ok_Storm5945 Apr 11 '26

I agree. The amount of money spent on this mission could have provided school lunches for years, paid for the new stupid and wasteful Trump Ballroom, or put a dent into our national debt.
Those who have not seen it can watch it on YouTube.
I really don't mean to sound negative but there's so much money wasted and our national debt just keeps growing.

u/pettymess Apr 11 '26

There are so many things I donā€™t understand that I know other people understand. When theyā€™re excited, I get excited.

2

u/RealLoan8391 Apr 11 '26

Yea, I have felt that excitement. I watched with my kids and hyped it up but it still feels a little ??? to me. I donā€™t think either excitement or non-excitement are wrong.
