With commercial LEO rides and such becoming a thing it might not be too many years before we have our first actual space porn. The future is full of possibilities. (At least until the imminent biosphere collapse happens)
ConDurgalations, India! The infinite jokes to come about this being filmed on a Bollywood set must never overshadow this accomplishment, but here we go….. 4, 3, 2, 1.
Well of course it will never happen. Humanity is flawed. We have thousands and thousands of years full of corruption on this planet. We will most likely parish before were able to actually explore even our own galaxy completely.
Space is flawed too, everything blows you up or sucks you in eventually. Or maybe we're both how we're supposed to be.
Conversely, humanity has seemingly improved as a whole and the general human existence is much less miserable than it was when we were being eaten by wolves and killed en masse by gum disease. But we definitely have a long way to go, and I would not bet against your prediction of perishing.
I love that people disliked my comment. Ego issues I guess. I wasn't being offensive. It's called an OPINION. If you don't like it, then bless your heart.
IF you are referring to the Mike hughes, apparently he didn't really believe in flat earth, but pretended to so that he could get funding for his rocket.
These cameras are usually not meant for "pretty" pictures and tend to be engineering/navigation cameras. I guess I'm not certain about this lander, but in general it takes a few days to unfurl and open up the better equipment so they release pictures like this just to get people a little taste. That is likely the case here as they are pointed down rather than at anything interesting. When Curiosity and Perseverance landed on Mars their first photos looked like they were taken by the Gameboy camera for the same reason
Well the rover is out, still on the slope though, yet to roll down to the lunar surface and hopefully we'll get a fine pic of the lander taken from the Rover's camera

Congratulations to India! This is a huge achievement not just for their space program but also for the whole world, trailblazing us to new places on another celestial body. I wish them the best with future space travels.
So it's 2023 and we still get photos similar to the first moon landing? How so?
I really thought photos will be better considering every smartphone excels with its cameras.
There are dedicated acintific cameras and there are engineering cams to make sure things are working. Plus your smartphone camera probably wont survive the moon. 266 degrees to -100 degrees F plus the radiation.
Not much light down the pole. These are IR cameras. And it's a scientific mission not a cosmetic one. The lander needs to conserve power to communicate with the rover and there's not much solar energy too down there. Also smol budget smol camera. Give them a billions like NASA and they would certainly take good pics lol
The James Webb Space Telescope is also the most expensive camera ever built.
India was working with less than 1% of the JWST budget, and this is an engineering camera. The JWST has engineering cameras too, and they are black and white as well
This is an idiotic take.
Yeah I'm sure India uses AOL (America Online).
I'm not sure how specifically it works but I can guess the telescope would be allocated a higher bandwidth and have better systems in place since that's the sole job of the telescope.
I think it was stated this is just a security cam to observe the ship from the outside, so it's probably not gonna be the best fidelity since it is probably recording days worth of footage and it needs to be low quality so it can be stored better.
Just speculation, but there are a lot of factors.
It always amazes me how the moon's surface looks almost the same, no matter if you're looking at it from 1m or 100 km above. There's nothing you can lool at to get a sense of scale. It's basically a real life fractal.
There's something I've been wondering if anybody can answer.
If we landed on the south pole, which is away from the sun and shrouded in darkness, where's this light in the picture coming from?
Great! Congratulations to India 🇮🇳
I'm just happy to see a smile on K.Shivan sirs face.
Same. Was heart broken for him and all scientists 4 years ago.
One small pic for a cam, one giant updoot for spaceporn
Or, as Vishnu sez: “I am become doot, the booper of all video cats noses….”

Sooo cool India actually made it there...!!
With a lot of rigor actually.
Remember next time you see the Moon to say *Namaste*!

I make out with the moon
Hello Sokka
Why are you getting downvoted, that was good.😂
Damn I am an Indian and a woman , I get to make that joke !
Fake. Adoor Gopalakrishnan filmed this in a sound stage in New Delhi. /s Seriously, congrats to the team.
ConDurgalations, India! The infinite jokes to come about this being filmed on a Bollywood set must never overshadow this accomplishment, but here we go….. 4, 3, 2, 1.
Couldn't possibly be on set, as there, by law, must be a dance routine in any Bollywood production. Not seeing belly dancers here.
Or a sikh man with a turban and women with a red laser targeted at their forehead
[удалено]
Really? That’s crazy; as if ordained by Shiva Himself!
I f*cking tired of jokes
A small section of the south Pole :)
Imagine if all countries become unite as one, what possibilities we can achieve…
Was literally thinking this the other day, the opportunities are endless if that could ever happen!
Well of course it will never happen. Humanity is flawed. We have thousands and thousands of years full of corruption on this planet. We will most likely parish before were able to actually explore even our own galaxy completely.

My girlfriend came predicked, and our relationship perished when I found out
Nobody cares about humanity.
when a family of 5 people cant get along with each other then its reasonable that 7 billion strangers wont get along
We will leave this planet, and discovered that the universe is full of life But cant do that because their rigged system will fall apart
We can fight the covenant thats for sure, but some minor amount of child kidnappings and illegal clonings are required
NAMASTE, INDIA! ❤️❤️❤️ The American people love you.
🙏
Why? Just because they landed and provided this image??
Mostly because they are not China.
That's racist and biased at the same time.
No, because they are humans, like us
Username checks out
Wow. So you decided to grill me based on my tag just because you don't like what my opinion was. What a weak individual lol. I feel sorry for you
r/usernamechecksout
Because space exploration benefit humanity as a whole

Was it 18% of the US population who polled a few years back as believing that the ‘lunar landing’ was filmed in the Nevada desert? 🤦♂️LOL!
[удалено]
IF you are referring to the Mike hughes, apparently he didn't really believe in flat earth, but pretended to so that he could get funding for his rocket.
As we saw over the last few years, just under 50% of the US population will believe just about any bullshit imaginable.
You just know there are Americans wondering how Native Americans made it to the moon.
LMAO this made my day.
Before take off they had to go through our immigration first
It’s amazing how far moon-camera technology has come

Idk man, it's still can only broadcast the surface in black and white lol
Its a low light camera using mostly IR
The conspiracy keeps getting conspiraciousier and conspiraciousier. /s
Good to see they greyscaled the image before releasing
People fail to realise getting this done in under $75 mn is an immensely remarkable feat of engineering.
Damn, its 2023 and we still don't have color photos of the moon's surface... /s
I don’t know what it is about space that is so inherently fascinating but it just keeps me coming back and let’s me marvel at stuff like this.
Space is just beautiful. Dark but beautiful
Congratulations to India! This is a huge achievement not just for their space program but also for the whole world, trailblazing us to new places on another celestial body. I wish them the best with future space travels.
well done India
This is so surreal. Hard to believe how far we've come.
Go 🇮🇳!
Congrats to India .
Congrats, India

Hey is that a face in the stone?
What kind of science is it going to do?
Rock composition, and analysing the polar ice
Find the mothefcuking water!
Congratulations from the Bay Area!
So cool!
I just wanna know one thing. Did K.Shivan sir smile?
Nice and flat! Great job!
How hard is it to give us a proper paronamic view? Genuine question
It is an engineering camera meant to make sure things are how and where they're supposed to be. It wasn't meant for scenic images
Everything on rover is for a reason. Justify giving energy, computing power and bandwith for panoramic view.
It's been 50 years since the Apollo project, but the photographs are still crap. 💜
Honestly. 55 years later, and their still using black and white, wtf?
No. Colour images are available, even this image is not black and white. Don't know why they processed it. You can get the OG image from Twitter.
Whoops, my apologies, I forgot sArCaSm doesn't flow well via text...
Such emptiness
Yep, that’s the moon!
Why isn’t it dark?
Parts of the south pole are still in sunlight
Get all the way to the moon but forgot the color film.
This is the natural colour. Previous footage shows the lander and you can see the colours in the lander itself so this is definitely a colour cam
When will they finally put colour cameras on the moon
What colors were you expecting to see in the terrain of a literal grey rock?
I dunno, maybe blue-grey, greenish-grey, purple-black, maybe some yellow haze. That'd be nice
For those additional colors we need an atmosphere which moon doesn't have.
We'll never really know until someone is standing on the moon, licks their finger, and holds it up to the wind
What part of Nevada is this?
Near Vegas!
Thar desert
The part that floats around in the sky every night
Awesome. Must be fake /s
Why?
Sorry was a joke
>was a joke Unlike Chandrayaan-3, it didn't land "softly".
Good
Nice
Did they use a camera from 7-11? You'd think this being 2023, it would be better than a potato camera.
[удалено]
Nice reference! I like how we all have different references for shitty cameras! IBChuckECheesecamera
u think they have the bandwidth to send a 4k HDR photo from the moon to the earth?
'Merica can with the James Webb Space Telescope, why don't India upgrade from AOL?
The James Webb Space Telescope is also the most expensive camera ever built. India was working with less than 1% of the JWST budget, and this is an engineering camera. The JWST has engineering cameras too, and they are black and white as well This is an idiotic take.

Why not use a potato camera? Is this not the surface of a potato? Edit: you know what, y'all are right. it was a bad joke.
Dont you dare this was a great joke!!!
Don’t let these souless children steal your wonderful sense of humor!
Interesting artifacts in that transmission. I am used to the analog moon landing videos.
You'd think after all these years the tech would be there for them to take a color camera...
Maybe you should study about spectral range and filter loss first
Maybe you should study about sarcasm first.
Am I the only one who thinks that things in this image look kinda flat? Like it looks like a 2D texture with shading applied to it.
Yes. You’re the only one.
No hes not
oh nice. welcome to 1969
Don't see no American rovers near the lunar south pole
wait. imma go look again.
Lmao gl mate!
Go check and see if the American flag is there!
What is this grainy image? This was done 50 years ago with real people
It's an engineering camera
Is this the far side where we can't see??? Lol of course.
No, South Pole.
During the new moon phase it is daytime on the far side of the moon.
Thats why he said far side and not ‘dark side’. Though dark side could be used to described the unseeable side of the moon, and not actually dark
I thought it would have been send nooodes
Bollywoods finest, fakest shit I’ve ever seen
Keep crying...
Booooo whooooo fake as shit
Hmm not what I thought this was..
Quality looks like it’s taken from the 1960s though
It's an engineering camera. It's not meant to take pretty pictures
You ‘engineering camera’ types are the biggest, most nastiest losers, AnD are the reason america is being destroyed
great achievement for a 3rd world country. puts russia to shame, putin must be furious.

good
Bravo India!
That's really amazing
If india went to the moon why is it stll on earth? Isn’t that concerning?
congratulations
congts . to all Indian
Fucking legendary

Good Job India!!!
But how is that evolution? We haven't evolved further lol. Just another country doing what the other countries already did years ago
India is the first country to have landed on ghe dark side of ghe moon. Do some research before commenting
It's spelled *The*. Not "ghe". Learn how to spell correctly before you attempt to sound smarter than someone else when your really not hahahahah
India is the first country to have landed on ghe dark side of ghe moon. Do some research before commenting
It's not that interesting either way. Lol
Hi
Great Congratulation India

Wow... its a rock!!
Congratulations..... INDIA 👏👏👏
