Benigno Aquino assassinated. Many has said that it was the then dictator Marcos who ordered his death, but it became apparent that it was the family of his ( Benigno ) wife that planned it all, the Cojuanco family.

Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted April 16, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted April 16, 2018 This photo by US photojournalist John Stanmeyer won the first prize of the World Press Photo awards a few years back. Aptly named "Signal", the surreal moonlit image shows African migrants on the shore of Djibouti City at night raise their phones in an attempt to catch an inexpensive signal from neighboring Somalia—a tenuous link to relatives abroad. https://www.worldpressphoto.org/collection/photo/2014/contemporary-issues/john-stanmeyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly enough thats what most kids look like on some of the hiking trips I've taken in Northern India too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted September 19, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted September 19, 2018 NASA S84-27031 (7 Feb 1984) --- Astronaut Bruce McCandless II, 41-B mission specialist, reaches a maximum distance from the Challenger before reversing direction his manned maneuvering unit (MMU) and returning to the Challenger. A fellow crewmember inside the vehicle's cabin took this photograph with a 70mm camera. The untethered EVA marked the first such experience for astronauts. Amazing.

He was floating (well floating is probably not the right word considering he was moving with a ground speed of about 28,000 km/h haha) there almost 100 m away from the shuttle for about 4 hours...alone in cold and silent cosmic blackness, but also privileged to see and experience it, nonetheless as the first person ever...Can't even imagine how that must have felt!

I should imagine it's both breathtaking and unnerving... not being able to see what's behind you for example without turning fully around must be a strange feeling...
