This is a recent photo of the Earth and Moon taken from Mars

I think it's neat. Gives an interesting insight into the size relationship between Earth and Luna plus how far apart they are.

>plus how far apart they are
that picture gives a shitty idea of how far apart they are, they only look like that close because of the angle of the pic

this is the real distance

>how hard and how expensive could it have been to include THE SAME DEVICE A HOME OWNER CAN HAVE IN EARTH in a BILLION TRILLION DOLLAR satellite.
Because those aren't built to anywhere near the same specs as those they put on spacecraft. If they want photos of Saturn they either point Hubble at it (like in ) or just use images Cassini has spent the last 12 years taking.
This is my favourite pic of both Earth and the Moon, taken by DSCOVR.

Saturn is further away but also significantly larger

or burned in the head, or shot alive

they're already burned in the head

incidentally, that is an epic burn

It makes me think that yes, the moon is drifting away. And it's not a happy feeling.

The moon is drifting away. Well not really drifting, it is stealing rotational energy from the Earth via tidal forces which increase the moon's orbital speed and thus allow the moon to fall further away before gravity can change the moon's direction.

Basically the moon will continue to "drift" until the Earth and Moon are tidally locked, after which the system will stabilize out a bit. Until then we'll just have to keep adding leapseconds every few years for the next [very long time] until tidal locking occurs
