Yeah I was thinking about it too, and the thought of just knowing you were alone with one other person on that planet knowing you're not going to get rescued and are just going to be left to die just staring back at the place you came from almost like you could just jump to it but you know you can't and that you're going to die, almost like if death was taunting you. it is disturbing

[@wesleyem3]

+Darth Vader Dang. Thanks Darth Vader. Now I'm gonna be depressed all day... 😬

[@LucBoeren]

I honestly don't think they would experience feelings like you described. Of course I too can only guess, but if I was someone who dedicated my entire life to what the speech so beautifully describes as 'truth and understanding', and had been confronted with the fact that I would not be rescued, I just think there would be a certain peace to come over me, along with acceptance and knowing that your entire lifelong dedication has had purpose, great purpose even, which is something a lot of us can only dream of.

[@eveashy1624]

The emergency broadcast made me think: _what would you do in the 15 minutes you had left to live?_ Would I seek shelter? Would I call all my friends and family to tell them I love them? Would I watch one last Vsauce video...?

[@paul2413]

eve couille makes you want to actually build a bunker in your backyard or a field somewhere. I guess all i could do is stay with family. Kinda scary to be in a situation where you cant do anything and its 15mins till you and your entire neighbourhood, town, city, country is wiped off the face of the earth.

what would happen is i would try to call my friends first while on the bus to their houses yet this would take over 15 minutes maybe i would go to one of my other friends house as soon as i would hear that

It’s not that old, and it’s for a reason. I study meteorology and the communication of warning information. That siren sound was designed in the 1930s just after WWI to be the sound that would alert the most people at a time, mechanically. The digital voice sound was originally devised in the 1980s for NOAA Weather Radio for automated updates and weather reports, so meteorologists didn’t have to be doing it 24/7 while transmitting. Every once in a great while, a live person will still go on-air with the weather radio. The last time it was done, was on May 20th, 2013 by the Warning Coordination Meteorologist at the National Weather Service office in Norman, OK to warn people of the extreme severe weather headed toward Moore, OK. An hour later, an EF-5 tornado raked through the town, and he is credited to have saved hundreds of lives.

Werner Von Braun originally intended for the moon mission to be a one way trip. In an interview in a national magazine around 1961 he talked about how heroic a person would be to remain on the moon. His expectation was to accomplish this within 3 years I believe. That was why Kennedy added the "and return him safely to the earth" to his speech a few months later.
