No more need to populace space: Chapter’s already been there

Well, it’s just what we feared all along.  We came from space to begin with.

Therefore, we can end the space race – no need to go back to the beginning, just fight over the dwindling supplies on this scrapheap of a planet, call it a day, and stop wasting resources on narcissistic space exploration.

Return to my meditating on nature.

Zzzzz…

14,xxx days to go.

Entertain myself with some other projection of the universe.

Leave the madness of scrambling over one another trying to impress ourselves with technological development disease.

Stop hypnotising myself that the latest “must have” gadget is usually something no one needs.

Thanks, Mr. S&P, for showing your true loyalty

I want to spread our DNA-based lifeforms into the cosmos, however we can, but have to deal with the person most responsible for the London riots, Deven Sharma and his gang of thugs.

S&P is an idiot association.

They should be are financially responsible for rebuilding the UK after the riots, but not with Indians, who must return to their home country immediately and keep building their geek nation instead of bad hotel service and lowgrade convenience stores over here, or face a “downgrade” of another sort, eh?

Let’s put an insane person in the White HouseSanity and reasonableness obviously are not working.

And to the secular world out there, Christianity is not overrated, just misused and abused.

And quit talking about capitalism – it’s dead.

If you believe they put a man on the moon…

Today, the WTO agreed to outlaw rating agencies because the buffoons have overstepped their bounds as government/business puppets.

A thanks to the pay-coms in Huntsville – Marshall Space Flight Center is a special place.

It’s Wednesday, so it must be Tuesdy – thanks to Beauregard’s and other places I’ve fallen behind in thanking for their business and their employees’ service.

Goin’ ‘Round In Circles

As the last U.S. Space Shuttle mission EVA winds down, former astronauts and cosmonauts are clamoring to release the first “kiss and tell,” behind-the-scenes autobiography of what really took place during the 30-year span of Space Shuttle missions.

Meanwhile, I rarely lose bets and ever more rarely admit it.

Today is an exception.

A journalist friend of mine bet he could prove how banal most people’s lives are by finding an obscure murder trial where the defendant was obviously not guilty and turn the trial into a circus, causing thousands, if not millions, of people to expend emotional energy over the results of the trial.

I told him that people had important lives and would not let themselves be so easily manipulated.

I’m sorry to report I lost.

Now, back to writing the book of the Book of the Future.

Capcom, Lady In Blue

The dishwasher hums a mechanical tune,
Hanging out in the kitchen, neither gal nor dude.

Atlantis, suspended, stretching ISS’ CG,
Silent symbol of glories both hard and easy.

Ceiling tiles,
Heat tiles,
Ground wires,
Ground crews…

Shadows swirling in orbit,
Getting ready for slumber,
Looking busy on CCTV.

DPS, ACO, MMU,
Muxes and demuxes,
Banners and patches,
Lanyards and ties,
Earpieces, monitors,
Shuttle flight control team on full display.

Cleaning crew and sandwiches –
Cameos in support roles.

Tin cans in space,
Hardened modules in the hot sun.

Cats sleeping on sofa,
One snoring,
One dreaming of
Chasing mice rather than tracking solar arrays.

A study in blue.

Faces caught on camera –
Close the port or open the port?
You tell me.

Cap Indicates Colour: Chapter MMXVIII

In an unauthorised biography sold via instant thought download form in 2015, Timothy Geithner admitted he was a stool pigeon for the Chinese government.

Although old news, it matched with the data discovered after the U.S. and EU governments simultaneously changed their independence days to 1st May in the 2011/2012 fiscal year.

Khrushchev, long ago smiling in his grave over previous news (Huntsville companies helping Army get Afghan pilots flying new Russian helicopters), was quoted by the witch doctor during a séance, “Look who’s crushed now.” [“Смотрите, кто похоронен теперь, товарищи!”]

Further, Geithner expressed his confusion over why the new IMF chief changed its organisation’s name to P&C in 2012.  In later chapter notes, the biography revealed that Christine Lagarde chose P&C because it was her secret favourite hybrid corn variety, Peaches and Cream.

Speaking of P&C, after the IMF declared it was assuming or taking over all debts, public and private, in order to cement its position as de facto world government/lending institution, especially after the U.S. government could not stop increasing the debt limit and showed in all future plots that it was going to collapse, following in the footsteps of the EU, sending more people to invest in the new IMF global “currency” while dumping the dollar, euro, and renminbi because of their ties to unstable governments, Lagarde made P&C the official moniker for her revitalised bureaucracy.

Lagarde regards Earth as her “motherland, may it reign the solar system forever!” [“Patrie, la Terre Mère puisse régner le système solaire pour toujours!”]

It was during the last U.S. Space Shuttle flight to the ISS in 2011 that hints of these changes were taking place, first when the U.S. and Russian crews went off to drink celebratory vodka after Atlantis docked, leaving the Japanese crew member to clean up after them.

From then on, international relationships changed shape dramatically, leading up to the climax of the New Revolution.

Archaeologists are still trying to decipher the meaning behind the guy who wore a vest and two jackets in Mission Control (see photo below).

Exactly how cold is it in Mission Control?
