Is that the first SpaceX manned rocket mission?
I think they have sent cockpits to the ISS before, aboard Soyuz iirc. EDIT: Apparently they sent their first people May 30th on the demo 2 mission.

Riddle me this
It’s a fact that if a near sighted person looks at objects in a mirror objects that are farther away they will become blurry same as if they were just looking out at a landscape I read that it’s because the light still has to travel farther to get to the mirror if the object is farther away but that doesn’t make sense to me because the light from the mirror only has to travel from the surface of the mirror to your eyes Another explanation is because it’s because your brain is trained to blur things out from a distance if you’re near sighted. Well if that’s true then why doesn’t your brain blur out far away objects in a photograph? Riddle me that, smarties

The picture below shows that the rays are reflected by the mirror, but not refocused. Effectively, if you consider how much they diverge, they come from the original source; you can even get the same result by setting an imaginary source point behind the mirror.

I think the reason that’s a bit of a mind **** for me is because even though I know on paper that the light obviously has to travel to my eyes it seems like my eyes are reaching out to the object that’s reflecting the light. You did a great job of explaining that. Thank you.

No problem, the prissy schoolteacher in me enjoys these things. Mirrors are freaky objects for sure
