<![CDATA[My 1.5yr old kid is obsessed with the moon.]]>My 1.5yr old kid is obsessed with the moon. He asks for it all the time, so we try to bring him outside and show it to him. Of course it's not always visible and he gets sad.

Due to Reasons I happen to have a galaxy projector that also has a built-in pico projector in order to play cheesy "3D" space videos. I figured that it probably had a micro SD card somewhere in it, which turned out to be true.

So with the help of a screwdriver and ffmpeg I've now given my kid his very own moon.

When I was a kid, my uncle painted all of the planets, the moon, and stars on the walls of my play room with glow in the dark paint (with a dark blue background) and my mom put a black light in the ceiling fixture.

Not buying a moon lamp off Amazon. Opening the hardware, finding the SD card, and making it exactly what your kid wanted. That is real engineering.

You're saying don't teach a kid that creative solutions can solve frustrations?

Also there's still -plenty- of frustrating things left in the world, even for toddlers.

Perhaps, as in Carl Sagan‘s Contact, something important comes out of this — «The narrative begins with a series of flashbacks detailing the formative years of Dr. Eleanor “Ellie” Arroway. From a young age, she exhibits a profound curiosity about science and the cosmos, from learning to read as a toddler and repairing a radio as a young child to pursuing a lifelong fascination with the stars. Encouraged by her father, Theodore Arroway, she avidly pursues her intellectual interests.» (The quote is from a summary of the 1985 book, https://www[.]supersummary[.]com/contact-carl-sagan/summary/)

The moon is not always visible, period.

the longer you wait, the harder it will be. frustration. important. or do you want a king baby?

Moon. The moon is an amazing object for earth dwellers to consider its phases, disappearances and fullness. Tidal phenomena are also quite interesting. Do you ilve near a large body of water?
