perspective

In St. Louis, lawyers Mark and Particia McCloskey found themselves once again a viral couple on the internet, but this time for slightly different reasons. Last time, people were amazed by their meticulous restoration of their mansion to it's former glory. This time, during nationwide protests seeking significant change, the couple caught the ire of Twitter and the internet overall. It spawned both an intense discourse, and a lot of great memes.

Further videos showed the protesters entered a private community without permission, so the situation is not all that it seems. In the context of what happened, it is more understandable that these homeowners, who spent years restoring their house to it's former glory, might overreact. 

What do you think should have happened? Who is in the right here? 

One internet artist gave us a real perspective at what the planets would look like if they were as close as the moon. Can you imagine taking a selfie with Saturn in the background? Or taking a SpaceX weekend ride to Pluto? Whatever the case these visuals are simply incredible.
