I figured a big thread might be better than smaller individual threads, so maybe we can centralise the discussion here. What are your impressions of what they've presented today?
For our first photo challenge, any equipment goes! Please participate regardless of skill level or experience. :) Be it an old Polaroid, a point and click, a phone cam, or a professional kit, capture those photons and post them here!
Our subject this week: between three to 10 images exploring a pastime of yours. For example:
Reading? Pics of stacks of books, libraries, e-readers, pages of text, people absorbed in the printed word...
Running? Your shoes! Legs blurring by, your favorite route scenery, your muscle rub cream, brand of sock you like...
As long as you can connect it in some way to your activity, it's fair game. Let's clean our lenses and get going!

Honestly I'm not following this block-chain thing that much closely (apart from knowing the theory of how it works on a basic level) and I'm curious to see if this event can help me get what it is all about :)
Anyone interested in a free pass can send a PM to me (do not reply here please) and it would be interesting if we use this topic to talk about your previous experience with the event or block-chain in general.
If successful this will be Rocket Lab's first commercial launch and second rocket to reach orbit after Still Testing's successful launch in January. It's Business Time will carry a handful of small satellites including the IRVINE01 cubesat built by Irvine, California high school students; two Lemur-2 cubesats for Spire; and the NABEO drag sail demonstrator for end of life satellite deorbiting for Bavaria.
Rocket Lab launches their Electron rockets from Launch Complex 1 on the picturesque Mahia Peninsula in New Zealand.

Any concerts you guys plan on going to/went to within the last/next few months? Last Friday there was a Kendrick Lamar concert I went to, it was pretty fun, although there were a lot of "odd" people there. This Friday I'm going to attend a Journey/Def Leppard concert. I also plan on seeing Pouya this summer, he's an underground rapper that I like, I also want to go to an Iron Maiden concert in Germany with a close friend but I'm not sure if I should spend the money at the moment.
