It's clear they're looking out of the window at some kind of flotilla of ships approaching or leaving the earth, but not why they need the goggles. Who made that huge, non-tinted window then required you to wear welding equipment to look through it?

To Mr. Coventry’s chamber, where I found him gone out into the Park with the Duke, so the boy being there ready with my things, I shifted myself into a riding-habitt, and followed him through White Hall.
in reply to Samuel Pepys

So he and I to the waterside, and our horses coming by the ferry, we by oars over to Lambeth, and from thence, with brave discourse by the way, rode to Woolwich.
in reply to Samuel Pepys

"brave discourse": presumably meaning something akin to "stimulating and engaging conversation"?

Shall make it part of my active vocab.

"Yes Peter, that's right, I did run into Karl at tye Chez Charlotte the other day, we did manage to fix the missing lease clause, and we had brave discourse too. He's great company."

in reply to This spaceship does not exist

A person in a red spacesuit with a red helmet stands with their back to the viewer, facing a large, weathered yellow and gray spaceship. The suit has gray patches on the arms, a large backpack, and visible equipment. In the background, a clear blue sky with white clouds is filled with smaller flying vehicles (including blimp - like shapes and small ships). To the left, a tall cityscape with numerous towers and structures is visible. The large spaceship shows signs of wear, rust, and multiple structural sections. No text is present in the image.
