Tomorrow night, Artemis 2 will start its journey into a lunar orbit and break new grounds for all of us.

During that orbit , there will be a 41 min communication blackout. Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon album is 42 mins long. Makes you wonder. lol.

Maybe a great time to click on the GOAT of all music and hope the boys show up after.

I will be severely disappointed if the music of DSOTM isn't somehow incorporated in some of media released by NASA tomorrow.

I'd probably put on Dub Side of the Moon over the original, but that's just my personal preference.

I’ll need to knock the dust off of my Pink Floyd album set, or pull out my Gov’t Mule “Dark Side of the Mule” CD…

Last time humans were on the Dark Side of the Moon was 1972.

The Dark Side of the Moon” was released in 1973.

Makes you wonder.

You ever sink Dark side of the moon with Wizard of Oz? Dark side of the rainbow is awesome.

Makes me wonder how much cooler your theory was if the numbers actually matched.

Probably not much though

Dark side of the rainbow

Yes, with Wizard of the Oz in VHS. Had to wait until the lion’s 3rd roar to synch up the music.

That kind of ties to "Wish You Were Here" also...

The original album cover in black shink wrap:


Then with the famous "handshake" sticker added after record stores and buyers didn't know what the album was:


And then you get David Gilmour showing up on bass for a live version of "Big Bottom"...


Coincidence? Absolutely not.

Every image will be filtered by NASA. CIA. You’ll get craters. Made up by CGI. The astronauts will see it. But you won’t. 45 minutes of silence. That wil be mostly crying and trying to recover for the cameras.

Brought to you by their sponsors.

Just be thankful Artemis isn’t exploring Uranus or you’d be playing Jailhouse Rock.

It's all gonna be AI generated anyway. Can't take pictures if the crew is already dead from crossing the Van Allen radiation belt. Don't ya know?
