NOAA-19
22 degrees, mostly sunny. Alex and I climbed up the Greenwich Park 20 mins before NOAA 19 would pass our horizon. It was a beautiful spot with a good view of the sky, the thames and the Canary Wharf skyline. Standing in Greenwich Park, listening to a satellite getting decommissioned in the US, thinking of the thousands walking in the No-Kings Protest, listening to the last breaths of the satellite in solidarity. We saw the start of a beautiful sunset on the hill. I thought of Gaza, I thought if the crimson and orange of the sunsets would still look so beautiful amidst all the smoke and the rubble? I think I would sometimes hear the beep boops of the NOAA satellite in my dreams - Alex agrees.
