The blue origin flight takes off in around 25 minutes or so, def going to check it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherpa Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Also space related. If any interested in astronomy, Saturn has been really bright overnight. I was able to see the rings using my Celestron binoculars overnight. Tonight I'll use the telescope for a much better view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but by now we should have been 'George Jetson' jaunting around the solar system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoTom Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) Two years ago, on the 50th anniversary of the landing, my wife and I saw String Cheese Incident at Red Rocks. (I wore my NASA shirt, because I'm a science geek.) Near the end of the show, the band acknowledged the feat and played a sci-fi jam as their finale. I can't find a video of that show, but here's the same thing that they did on Halloween the year before: https://youtu.be/T_aq4Zb-AHQ?t=621 Edited July 20, 2021 by WhoTom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them in July 2016 at RR; I have a giant dusk artwork picture over my couch of RR. Magical place that changed my life for the better, and for worse. 20 minutes ago, Pete said: we come in peace for all mankind Peace for the aliens. If only we had peace on earth for man We are trying to convey that; someone or something simply needs to capture one of the Voyagers: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/golden-record/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
