How diverse are we on this planet?
A couple of photos of the Korowai people from the southwest Indonesian province of Papua. The Korowai people live in trees which I read wards off annoying neighbours and evil spirits.

In another part of the planet the NASA tribe is hard at work driving their robotic cars around on Mars.

I find it very hard to imagine the view through the eyes of the people of NASA and equally hard to imagine the view through the eyes of the Korowai. I find it even stranger that we all live on the same planet at the same time.

What would one serve for lunch for this diverse group? I guess the NASA tribe could be up for trying some local bush meat and the Korowai may order up "leg of engineer"...lol

All joking aside, am I the only one who finds this a strange world to live in?

Cheers,

Billy

I have no idea what your question is and why it would be worthy of a thread. Closed. If you have some astounding insight on why this should be a thread feel free to PM me.
 
Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
