One of the videos was in Spanish, but I asked for a summary in English. No problem.

I knew Providence was going to light up today but I didn't expect this! My first time photographing the Superman Building lit up in any fashion. It's been worth the wait!

“Grape salad was deemed universally gross, losing 83 percent of its matchups. Sauerkraut was considered a better Thanksgiving dish than grape salad. People hate grape salad about as much as they like mashed potatoes. Think about that.”

Long @GQMagazine profile and deep conversation with James Cameron. Great quotes.

“…for an AI to ‘win’ at Diplomacy it needs to both understand the rules of the game efficiently but also fundamentally understand human interactions, deceptions, and cooperation, and know how to string together sentences without sounding like a malfunctioning dishwasher.” 🤖

The famous bootprint photo was a planned soil mechanics experiment suggested by David Carrier of JSC. Buzz chose an undisturbed location and took the photo and was careful not to step on it. (I don't know if the crew was careful to avoid it for the rest of the mission.)
Replying to @DrPhiltill
I wonder if Neil & Buzz themselves bothered to protect the first print by not treading on it, once Neil photographed it. Of course we only have his word it was actually the *first*. Perhaps, after a few mins he thought "darn, I forgot to photograph it, which one was it?"

Of all the thousands of fictional stories cinema has been used to tell, would be kind of funny if the first one was about a guy getting sprayed in the face with a hose. This movie is possibly the birth of cinema as a storytelling art and not just a tool for documenting real life
