Not being able to click through the images quickly gave me temporal space to think. Slowing down and appreciating the amazing things the images depict. The teamwork, engineering, bravery that went into making the images boggled my mind once I stopped seeing them as just more lolcats. It made me conscious of the clickclickclick way I ordinarily view images. It made me uncomfortable with the way I treat the world. What more could I ask than to have my mental habits questioned and my awe of the universe brought fore.

Really appreciated reading your comment. I had a similar realization about the way I consume internet media in the past and your post brought it back into my consciousness.
It really is awe-inspiring what NASA has accomplished. They are still doing amazing work, but I'm not sure anything in my lifetime will have the mystique of the first man walking on the moon.
