Human Experience #11,024: BOOM!!!!!!!!!

Space Shuttle Atlantis Landing

I heard it: BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

:)  I didn't think that I would but I did!  I don't have access to Google Earth to track it here, and the NASA RSS feed is boring so I used: http://www.spacevidcast.com/

This kinda makes me wanna visit the Kennedy Space Center :D

Awww we are both 30 ...  I'm functioning past 30 tho - I am better than space technology :) lol the guy on TV just choked up...while this is a bland thing we need to retire these machines and go more high tech.

Taking off without rockets!

Lets go space saucers

It's Yuri Gagarin Day!!!

Woo 50 years from the first human into orbit!!!!  I love space and this is such a great day.  It is frustrating to know I'll never be able to be a cosmonaut, such is life: looking at the stars and taking in the Universe is good enough for me (for now).  Maybe before I die I can go out there and help explore!

Bad Ass:

The Perimeter of Ignorance

"The evidence all points to the fact that we occupy not a well-mannered clockwork universe, but a destructive, violent, and hostile zoo.


Of course, Earth can be bad for your health too. On land, grizzly bears want to maul you; in the oceans, sharks want to eat you. Snowdrifts can freeze you, deserts dehydrate you, earthquakes bury you, volcanoes incinerate you. Viruses can infect you, parasites suck your vital fluids, cancers take over your body, congenital diseases force an early death. And even if you have the good luck to be healthy, a swarm of locusts could devour your crops, a tsunami could wash away your family, or a hurricane could blow apart your town.

So the universe wants to kill us all. But let's ignore that complication for the moment."
