I was thinking that exact thing when I was watching that.
Well, more specifically that they might take that as some sort of passing. The dead being released from their earthly bonds.

Yeah that's pretty incredible. Most aurora videos are just of the sky and don't have that added context of someone in the foreground, just makes it all that more incredible knowing it's not a time lapse or something.
Unrelated, here's JWST looking at Titan.

Between this, exploding mountains of fire, shit falling from the sky in a ball of fire, lightning storms, tornados, hurricanes, earthquakes and the ocean sometimes rising up engulfing anything coastal, I am sure it was a confusing time.

We went to the moon sixty years ago with technology and computers that are by all accounts stone age by comparison. From a "lets go to the moon" thing, its probably safer than going to Chicago on a Saturday night. From a cost perspective, yeah this is insane and congratz to all getting to go.

Just eyeballing some numbers, it looks like this flight will cost 1/25 of the Apollo program (adjusted for inflation). Of course they're not landing and I don't know how much of SpaceX's sunk engineering costs are included in the alleged $5B price tag, but it's still pretty awesome to see this being more accessible.
