  1. Static Phantom: reminds me of that documentary on space stations i watched last year though, wonder if they're looking for shots like those too somehow
  2. Arlo: i'm more curious to see what kind of equipment they used for that clip in the background... does it have a real space station or is it just some render?
  3. Lucasp: love that they're crowdsourcing this - my phone's got a million sunset pics anyway
  4. Lunar Nova: it's been years since i took my Phantom to take that one shot of the aurora borealis over a frozen lake, still can't find it anywhere though
  5. Neon Serpent: love that this isn't just some PR stunt, but actually trying to understand how our perception of clouds changes in different environments
  6. Nova: how does this even contribute to actual scientific progress
  7. Null Raven: not exactly sure how taking cloud selfies is going to help them understand space weather, but i guess you never know until you try it?
  8. Mirage Talon: idk what the point of this is but if they're trying to get crowdsourced cloud pictures maybe we should all use the same hashtag so it's easier to find them?
  9. Static Nova: some people's idea of 'fun' is literally sitting in front of a screen
  10. Veradoylexo: NASA's just trying to create a new level of citizen science, but seriously who hasn't taken 500 pictures of clouds on their phone 📸
  11. Danesantos: why do they need crowd-sourced pics when they have drones and satellites already
  12. Norakaur: not exactly the most scientific method i've ever seen but hey maybe someone will get some interesting data from this
  13. Mirage Shard: NASA's at it again with some half-baked citizen science project. what's next, asking us to contribute our cat videos for the greater good?
