[QUOTE=Whomobile;43530829]Photos like this make me wonder what sort of things the people who develop photos have seen.
It's practically a dead art-form now with the use of digital, but the people who developed film photos saw majors points in random people's life's on a daily basis, they probably also saw some shocking horrors, assuming that someone was foolish enough to have such things developed. This is going back the whole "Sonder" thing where everyone else around you has their own life that you're in the background of. To yourself and your family and friends, you are important. To everyone else, your the man that develops everyone's photos.[/QUOTE]

This is how the Soyuz always lands. The plume of dirt is produced by small retro-firing SRBs. The parachute can't slow the capsule down enough to land on solid ground on its own, so it uses those to help. It likely feels almost exactly the same as any US manned landing, as the deceleration is spread out over a half a second, and I'm pretty sure something similar is true for soft water landings without a retro burn.

"Selfie" of Robert Cornelius, 1839. I think this may be the first ever selfie, I can't find any earlier ones. I wonder if it was considered more narcissistic to take a self portrait when photography was so expensive, time consuming and novel or did that novelty in fact expunge any narcissism from the act.
Could you imagine taking a selfie back then and spending loads of money plus hours developing it only to have it come out looking like shit?
well, we don't know if it's like that because it came out like shit originally or if it wasn't kept in the right place with the right conditions for such a long time

Also wheel damage; I watched a lot of the live streaming of this rover being built back in 2010-2011 and I thought that tinfoil wheels were probably a bad idea. However apparently it's no cause for concern as it would still be able to drive on the hubs even if the whole "tire" was torn off.

It's thought to either be debris from a meteorite impact that occurred nearby, which seems pretty unlikely, or that it's a piece of [u]shit[/u] that got pinched under one of the wheels and flung forward, which also seems unlikely to me.
They're gunna check it out in detail and see just what the fuck it is which might yield some more likely explanations as to how it appeared there.

That looks like a volcano erupting in the background, and all the plume is similar to a storm, because of all the static electricity being created and the imbalances of charges. And it looks more crazy then a storm because of how heavy and saturated the plume is with ash n'shit.
And outcomes a metal as fuck picture.

It is a volcano erupting, the picture is from a few years back. I forget where it was taken though.
The picture is called cordon_caulle_chile_volcano_eruption.jpg

Was a rather big eruption in 2011 apparently, the pic could be from that.

The ash from volcanoes tend to create a fuckton of lightning, so if you have a long enough shutter time, it'd probably looks just like that picture.
(problem is that if they used a long shutter, the clouds would be very blurry too, which they aren't.)
