This morning Joe Scarborough (Morning Joe) was talking to a man who, I assume, was at the Orion launch site-- didn't get his name and only part of the conversation, but he surprised everyone, I think, including Joe -- and me -- by saying (half jokingly?) that the next goal is to put people on Mars, and said, when Joe asked "why" -- that we've just about used up planet earth and the next logical place for colonization is Mars. Straight out of science fiction.  :spooked: Then said the major problem will continue to be funding.

I plan to, but right now, looking out my window, it looks cloudy.

Once, before I left WV, I decided to do it right, so dressed warmly, with hat and gloves and sleeping bag, and flat on my back, looked up at the dark sky for hours. It wasn't an impressive show -- did see a few shooting stars --  but the experience itself was worth it.

I have had the privilege to have visited Banff Canada about 10 years ago.  It is one of the most beautiful places on earth.  I cannot tell you how many times I said "Wow".....for a lack of a better word to describe my feelings as my eyes would gaze the horizon.

These kind of pictures take it to a whole new level.... :spooked: :yes:

If the sky is clear tonight wherever you are,  go outside, or just look out and up from an east-facing window to see the full moon and to the left, Jupiter, almost overhead, at 9:41 PM here.  Awesome!

Snowman poop prevents any viewing this evening though. . .

Law of Logical Argument - Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about.  ;)

"You've probably noticed that opinion pollsters go out of their way to include as many morons as possible in surveys ... I think it's dangerous to inform morons about what their fellow morons are thinking. It only reinforces their opinions. And the one thing worse than a moron with an opinion is lots of them." -- Scott Adams

In other words: Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.  ;)

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." -- Upton Sinclair

"Hitler is gone, but if the majority of our fellow citizens are more susceptible to the slogans of fear and race hatred than to those of peaceful accommodation and mutual respect among human beings, our political liberties remain at the mercy of any eloquent and unscrupulous demagogue." -- S.
