Every now and then I find some­thing that blows my mind at how awe­some the Inter­net is. The first mind-​​blowing exper­i­ence for me was more than 15 years ago, when I dis­covered the Future Crew’s home BBS in Hel­sinki, Met­ro­poli, was online, and I wouldn’t have to wait months to get the latest demos out of Fin­land anymore.

Today it was find­ing 360º pan­or­a­mas of the moon. Check it out right now. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to stand on a for­eign world. And yes, I’ve seen the movie Moon, but it didn’t quite do it for me. These pan­or­a­mas were really amaz­ing for me, though, prob­ably the closest I’ll ever get to stand­ing on the moon myself.

The Apollo 17 pan­or­ama is prob­ably my favour­ite due to the geo­graphy of the area, the boulders and “moun­tains”. The Apollo 12 pan­or­ama is nice just to appre­ci­ate how ghetto the lander was and how incred­ible it is that NASA was able to pull the mis­sions off so well given the tech­no­logy of the time.
