This photo is meaningful to my career as a planetary scientist even though I’m not affiliated with this mission in any way, and this is a short thread why. I’m quickly learning how different my experience has been and prob why it’s necessary to yell about it to the internet. 1/9 
This photo was taken and released roughly 5 years ago, mid-July 2015. The first time I saw this, I remember pulling up the front page of reddit while waiting at the bank to ask them to forgive an overdraft fee because I was a really, really broke undergrad student. 2/9
I remember reading the reddit comments about what a large team it took to make this photo happen. Hours of planning, tens of people involved from all over the country. “More than 5 people total, got it.” I had no idea what it was like to plan and execute photos like this. 3/9
