Mission Control. It appears to be the profile & vest of Flight Director Gene Kranz at the helm. Mission Control is located at the Johnson Space Center, established in 1961 & renamed after President Lyndon Johnson in 1973. The JSC covers 1620 acres & 100 buildings. Flights from Project Gemini (following Gemini 3), Apollo, Skylab, Apollo–Soyuz & the Space Shuttle were monitored from here.

Petition to put James Veitch on the pedestal he deserves, next to Brian David Gilbert, John Mulaney and Bo Burnham on the chart of Skinny Twinkish Chaos Elementals who are Doing Their Best.

We Have Now Reached The Limits Of The Hubble Space Telescope

“Finally, there are the wavelength limits as well. Stars emits a wide variety of light, from the ultraviolet through the optical and into the infrared. It’s no coincidence that this is what Hubble was designed for: to look for light that’s of the same variety and wavelengths that we know stars emit.

But this, too, is fundamentally limiting. You see, as light travels through the Universe, the fabric of space itself is expanding. This causes the light, even if it’s emitted with intrinsically short wavelengths, to have its wavelength stretched by the expansion of space. By the time it arrives at our eyes, it’s redshifted by a particular factor that’s determined by the expansion rate of the Universe and the object’s distance from us.

Hubble’s wavelength range sets a fundamental limit to how far back we can see: to when the Universe is around 400 million years old, but no earlier.”

The Hubble Space Telescope, currently entering its 30th year of service, has literally revolutionized our view of the Universe. It’s shown us our faintest and most distant stars, galaxies, and galaxy clusters of all. But as far back as it’s taken us, and as spectacular as what it’s revealed, there is much, much more Universe out there, and Hubble is at its limit.

Here’s how far we’ve come, with a look to how much farther we could yet go. It’s up to us to build the tools to take us there.
