    Hank Green has a video walking through how to use the timeline here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyZE9VWJjDA. For me, the best experience was to click "Crew Photos Only" and then step through the photos chronologically with the arrow buttons.

      Cool! Honestly though, just hitting the "right arrow" button on my keyboard it was a blast. Such a great mix of photos and short vids, several clearly impromptu and unvarnished, felt real.

    Some of these images from the lunar observations gives me a weird perspective where the moon is really small and the features are like rain drops in really soft sand. Not sure if it's because my brain "knows" the size of the earth, and is seeing the moon as super close and forcing the perspective??? This one in particular: https://artemistimeline.com/#a-setting-earth

      It's partly because everything's in focus. We're not used to seeing images with such enormous distances.

        Unrelated but happened today and found funny, my dad was telling me how my brother somewhere got this miniature 2 liter bottle of Coca-Cola. It was like a couple inches in size. It was sold as a joke product to put beside fish you caught to make them appear bigger in photos.

      I don't there's anything we interact with that has a texture much like the moon's surface.

      That would be a cool science museum exhibit: a recreation of regolith and perhaps visitors can interact with it in a glovebox or drive an RC car.

    1. This is Hank Green's site. That's amazing! If you don't follow him on YouTube, you need to.

    2. He used Claude Code! What an incredible enabler of fun little side projects it's turning into.

    3. This is exactly what the internet felt like in 2000-2006. This is amazing. Creators are making little things all over and sharing them on the indie web. Yesssss!!!

      Love your point about how AI tools are boosting fun side projects and how it reminds of early creator internet. Spot on.

    April 6th is probably the best advertisement Nutella could ever make.

      And to demonstrate the awesomeness of the crew unity, from the post landing press conference:

      Reporter: Whose Nutella was that, that was floating by you in space?

      Crew: That was ours. Yes, we do everything as a four-person crew.
