It’s true, our mere existence is a miracle. 

I wish I could say I was good at drawing shit on a computer, but alas, I am not. Nevertheless, this is my rendition of Lt. Pete "Maverick" Mitchell. You can tell that I literally copy and pated a few of those patches on, which is why some have legit text and others have scribbles

Is this Ellington Field in Houston? Because I know they mounted Space Shuttle Independence (NOT the one from Micheal Bay’s Armageddon) onto Shuttle Carrier Aircraft 905 a few years back after they moved Explorer (NOT the one from Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity) to Houston and rechristened it with the name we all know today. Or this might just be one of the SCAs when they were very much in operation. This is still a cool picture.

One hell of a parking lot.

The Apollo Soyuz Test project was the first docking of an American spacecraft to a Soviet one. With the historic docking occurring in July of 1975, the mission was the last flight of the Apollo Command and Service module, and the only flight of Mercury 7 astronaut Deke Slayton, who had been grounded from the Mercury and Gemini programs as a result of a heart murmur. American spacecraft would later dock with Russian spacecraft once more when Commander Hoot Gibson docked Space Shuttle Atlantis to the Russian Mir space station in the mid 1990s as the beginning of the Shuttle-Mir program. The Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) and NASA would later work together once more not too long afterwards to build the International Space Station, a merger project which originally was two separate space stations called Mir-2 and Freedom as well as the planned European and Japanese modules onboard Freedom, and Canadian hardware such as the Canadarm (no seriously, that's legitimately what it's called).

For small creatures such as we, the vastness is bearable only through love.
