Turn it landscape and it's even cooler.
In german when the sun sets, we say "die Sonne geht unter" (the sun goes below / the sun sinks). And for doomsday we say "die Welt geht unter" (the world goes below). What we're seeing here is doomsday.
"Earthset." Fuck, that would be such a cool title for a sci-fi novel. I'm sure someone else has taken it already, but still, it's such a cool word.
I couldnβt find one, surprisingly. At least no popular title. However, there is an Asimov short Earthset and Evening Star, I could find no reasonable sources to preview the story.
So the title might be up for grabs as a story. Maybe a trilogy beginning with Earthrise, Earth(?) born?, Earthset in the end.
Cool beans.
The fact that this is just a handheld iPhone video and not a professionally shot thing makes it so much more surreal
Meh, I would have preferred they used a nice camera. Those Z9s they brought with them can shoot 8k video at 60 fps. When youβre something thatβs once in a lifetime, for all of humanity, do it in the best quality possible.

Judging from first few seconds of this, I expected Cylon Raiders to come screaming across the horizon.
That part of the footage was not published.
The fact that the astronauts were replaced by cylons is also kept secret for now.
And they have a plan!
Sadly, you can't see that anywhere actually on the moon, because of tidal locking.
Unless you run really fast.
And there's also the libration wobble.
Does this make them the first people to never see the Earth?
People sleep
No, the Apollo missions also circled the moon.
No, I just closed my eyes.
Shhhlooop... and gone
