Deleting in 4 Hours

TL;DR

A temporary video comparing the creator's Artemis calendar photo picks against 578,000 community votes, posted for only a few hours before deletion.

Key Points

  • 1.578,000 votes determined the community's favorite Artemis photos. The creator compared his curated calendar selections against crowd-ranked images using a voting tool at artemistimeline.com/vote, revealing both agreements and differences.
  • 2.The top community-voted image matched the creator's pick and was added to the calendar specifically because it ranked first. It replaced a similar lower-exposure photo and was placed in September, featuring a long-exposure shot with more light.
  • 3.The creator chose NASA's official 'new Earthrise' image over the community's preferred version. He favored the horizon-of-Earth composition over the more outer-spacey, Tatooine-like framing, and stood by the choice despite community preference.
  • 4.Astronaut faces were deliberately excluded from the calendar for likeness and thematic reasons. The creator chose to keep the calendar focused on space rather than people, even though NASA photos are generally considered fair use.
  • 5.The calendar is a 2027 limited print run with no extras — pre-orders close within hours of this video's posting. Buyers will likely receive it in July, and the video is being deleted so late viewers don't feel bad about missing the window.
  • 6.The video ends with the creator playing NYT Connections, ultimately failing on 'piece' (puff piece, think piece, period piece, conversation piece) and recognizing 'quipu' — the Andean knot-writing system — only after losing.
