Neil Armstrong had been getting ready for his mission to the Moon for over three years. To resist microgravity conditions, he had to learn how to walk sideways, by being strapped and suspended at an angle and trying to walk along walls. His limits were tested through an intense diet and sleep regimen since in space he would only have beef and vegetables previously dehydrated and stuffed into a package. Back in the day, astronauts had to experience the desert, jungle, open sea, and arctic survival training. These days it’s a lot more structured, but back then it was more of a “let’s drop this person in the middle of nowhere with no supplies and see if they make it.” Before landing on the Moon, he had to gather and study rock samples in the Grand Canyon, explore ancient volcano formations in the Nevada National Security Site, and look into gas and lava vents, lava lakes, and pit craters in various locations in Hawaii.
A lot of people associate guests’ visits with deep cleaning. We mop the floors, clean windows and mirrors, get rid of dust, and give a perfect look to our house. But some little things in our homes can impress guests more than the mess and the traces of cobwebs on the ceiling.

Oftentimes, the most amusing pictures are the ones that haven’t been Photoshopped. And luckily, some folks never miss the chance to grab their cameras and share any enchanting or funny sights they happen upon with the rest of us through their photographs. You may want to scroll through the incredible pictures below to see what we mean.
Scientists have known for quite some time that people literally glimmer. We emit small amounts of light that cannot be seen by the human eye. These pictures, however, shine bright enough to be seen from afar and show that beauty is found in uniqueness. Bright Side has gathered these photographs to bring a smile to your face and demonstrate that Mother Nature is truly the most talented artist of all.
Life is full of surprises, so be prepared to be taken aback. However, these shocks are not always as lovely as we might like.

Have a nice chuckle with these 20 photographs from folks who had an experience worth sharing.
People believe that the world communicates with us via messages or coincidences. From entertaining to bizarre, interesting to extraordinary, these minor incidents might give you the impression that this is much more than just chance. But, whether these folks were just fortunate or fulfilling their destiny, their stories left us with more questions than answers.We at Bright Side like sharing incredible photographs with our readers, and, unsurprisingly, shots of unusual occurrences are always interesting to look at!
Imagine you walk into a luxurious hotel room and you are dazzled because everything looks so shiny. Every detail is placed with precision, and then, after sighing, you think to yourself that you wish you could live there. “How do they do it?” you probably ask yourself.
Photographs can freeze time and tell us the most touching, funny, or curious stories, especially when it comes to older images. Seeing our grandparents portrayed in the past not only generates nostalgia but also makes us feel a lot of pride in our roots.
Like all of us, famous people aren’t immune to aging. Some of them have changed beyond recognition, while the others are still just as good-looking, if not even better, as they were a decade ago.
If there is one thing we can neither deny nor slow down, it is the rhythm of the hands of a clock. Seconds, minutes, hours, days, go by quickly and leave traces not only on people, but also on things. This is how objects are transformed with the passing of time and how they change their shape, color, and appearance so much that they seem unrecognizable when compared to a new specimen.
It’s good to have something lasting and steady in a world where everything changes so fast. For many of us, our pets and their love are the things we can always count on, no matter what happens. They sleep hugging the same old toys for years on end and they love cuddling with us, just like they used to do when they were little kittens and puppies, even though they’re all grown up now. These lovely sights keep us warm, and it’s even better when we manage to make those moments last in photographs.
It’s rare that we see true happiness, but it’s possible to capture these warm moments in photos. And even though these kinds of photographs are online now instead of in family albums, they still make us feel the sweetest emotions.
Living close to humans has had a profound impact on the sitting habits of cats and dogs. They have begun imitating the way humans sit. They sit in front of laptops pretending to be doing serious work, chill next to you on the couch while watching movies, and even give you the angry stare, sitting on your chair, if you are late in serving them the dinner.
Emotion is an adaptive response that humans have to their surroundings. Sometimes, we come across events or people that are capable of moving us so much that our entire perception of the world starts to shift, changing our entire outlook.
We’re not the only ones who sometimes have bad days — pets also get in trouble and make mistakes. But just look at how easily they overcome difficulties! There’s so much we can learn from them!
We live in a world where anything is possible - or almost possible. When it comes to our everyday image, most of us prefer a classic style. Yet there are people with a totally different approach to appearences. You might enter a store on the most normal day and come across one of these most unusual people. And we promise, you will remember it forever.
We rarely pay attention to the way the time flies. However, if we take a closer look at the things that surround us, we can immediately see the changes. These internet users shared pictures that prove that nothing remains unchanged over time.
According to statistics, a person has more than 60,000 thoughts every day. But 95% of them are constantly repeating ideas. However, there are people with such nonstandard thinking that they manage to do everything in their own unique manner — even in the most ordinary situations.
It should be obvious to anyone who’s ever used the internet by now that cats are simply wonderful. We love them, and that’s why we love taking photographs of them. And if those photos are taken at just the right moment, we end up loving cats even more!
There’s always something interesting or unusual going on in a house full of kids. They’re still getting to know the world after all — its joys and pitfalls. Having young kids may not be the easiest task for parents, but they more than make up for it with the joy and hilarity they bring to all our lives. Take a look at the following photographs. We’re sure you’ll be convinced that boredom and children are completely incompatible.
Sometimes, dogs behave a bit like children: they think all they have to do is close their eyes and — bang! No one can see them. Others, however, show a remarkable degree of inventiveness when trying to find a cosy place to hide from us.
