LOL

"-Gemini 7 would announce the creation of their tumblr page, and within minutes would get thousands of follows. Ten minutes later, they would get thousands of unfollows.

-Al Bean would be scolded for using different artsy filters on Instagram, as well as for accidentally pointing his cell phone…

Oh. My. God. May I?

- Buzz posts long lists of attention-seeking “Ask Me!” questions. All the time. He still has way more followers than you, and you can’t figure out why.

- In an ironic twist, Gemini 7 regains all its lost followers in the last day of the mission. Most common reason given for re-following? To see if Lovell had murdered Borman. Or vice-versa.

- A cropped photo of Jim McDivitt’s lost glove from Gemini 4 becomes the most-reblogged photo of all time, usually covered with hipster text like, “how could you leave me when I needed you most?”

- The “Ridiculously Photogenic Guy” meme is born in 1964 as John Young is announced as Gemini 3 copilot.

- Gus Grissom’s Tumblr consists of avant-garde photographs of fences. He is urged to upload his Gemini photos, but Deke Slayton steps in on his behalf and expresses pro-fence sentiments.

This is the most beautiful post I have ever seen.

Mike Collins is the original hipster blogger.
Alan Bean only becomes angry is you remove credit from his art posts.

Yes.

-Scott Carpenter initially posted only space-related items, but eventually moved on to subjects like folk music and scuba-diving. This created an awkward situation for his Mercury 7 brethren, because Scott became one of those tumblr people that you want to unfollow, but can’t because it would be awkward and/or embarrassing. Some of the more computer-savvy astronauts learned how to blacklist offending terms, like “Sealab” or “science.”

-You always know what mood Alan Shepard is in by checking his tumblr avatar. If his avatar shows a smiling Al, he is in a great mood. If it shows a frowning Al, then things are very bad.

-Buzz would have a “Fuck Yeah Rendezvous” tumblr.

-Neil Armstrong steps on the moon and posts those immortal words, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Because of his usage of the word “man,” he is instantly attacked by social justice bloggers.

Hahaha love this"

It's funny-sad, huh? Is it just me but I always felt sorry for Michael Collins. Always a bridesmaid...

I know; I feel the same way. For all of the command module pilots, but most especially for Mike. He's so mellow and witty - and, apparently, a bit snarkilicious, in his book, heh heh - can't wait to read it. I LOVE his interviews as an 'old guy', too - he's endearingly hilarious. :)

Hey. I've not seen any new, Merlin in AGES..I'd best check out my sources...

I must put that book on my reading list!

Oh, sad news: Season 5 was the last season of Merlin. :(

Enjoy the season. You'll have to tell me what you think of the ending.

YOU GOTTA BE FECKIN' *KIDDING* ME. They play merry havoc with Arthurian Legend, for the most part...and THEY LET ARTHUR DIE, ANYWAY? Come on. That shite was freakin' heartbreaking. Silly, corny, whatever...Colin got me in the gut with it. And Bradley. I *knew* he'd finally say, 'Thank you', but STILL. Dang.

I *did* sort like Homeless!Man Merlin, at the end, though..still waiting for the Once and Future King. Arthur, we need you NOW.

That's a very interesting observation! I wish they would have left the story line open, maybe for the 'reunion tour' thing - lol. I got the feeling that they found out about the cancellation, said 'fuck it' and just slap-dashed off the somewhat lame ending. I was a wee bit disappointed myself.

Seriously, where is an Arthur when you need him?
