Another dumb sign on the marquee of the Porta Pizzeria in Montclair New Jersey, the marquee leftover from the failed supper club that occupied this space for less than two years before COVID hit. The marquee- once used to advertise performers at the supper club and at the comedy club that existed here before then - is now used to send messages lie this one in a brazen attempt at cuteness, an example of cutesy-pie signs examined by Paul Fussell for stupidity in his 1991 polemic BAD or, The Dumbing of America.
Another thing - this is New Jersey. The state bird is a mosquito, the state flower is a swamp grass, the state tree is dead, the state gem is asphalt, the state motto is an expletive, and the state song is “Everything's Gonna Be Alright (Ghetto Bastard)." We don't have any patience for this cutesy-pie nonsense, sucka, and in Essex County, which includes Newark as well as Montclair, that goes double.
Tkane with my flip phone. Yo - you got a problem with that? 'Cause if you got a problem with that, we can settle it right heah, you mutha! ;-)
The International Space Station R&D Conference 2016, held in San Diego, brought together a host of thought leaders from various backgrounds to discuss the advancement of science through microgravity research. This year's theme focused on how microgravity can serve as a catalyst for discovery.
I think I have committed to having a "word" for 2011. This word has been bouncing around in my brain for the past week or so, and I have a lot of ideas around it. I think it will have a lot of meaning for me in 2011...both for the space in my life as well as the four walls that I live within.
It snowed again here in NYC today. I saw this pristine sidewalk while out walking Willow this morning and thought it was as good a time as any to write down my word for all the world to see!
Reflected in a puddle of melting snow at the State Fairgrounds, Saint Paul, MN. The State Fair is less than 6 months away. We said goodbye to meteorological winter as of February 29. Daylight Savings starts on March 12, and calendar Spring kicks off on March 20. I'm ready for a long spring and summer.

SpaceEngine - A free space simulation program that lets you explore the universe in three dimensions, from planet Earth to the most distant galaxies. Areas of the known universe are represented using actual astronomical data, while regions uncharted by astronomy are generated procedurally. Millions of galaxies, trillions of stars, countless planets - all available for exploration. You can land any planet, moon or asteroid and watch alien landscapes and celestial phenomena. You can even pilot starships and atmospheric shuttles.
Vintage geekery at its finest. Never even opened--which means there are no pesky missing pieces. : )
Space X launched a Falcon 9 rocket on Thursday, 8-24-2017 from SLC-4E, Vandenberg AFB, California. The two-stage rocket lifted off at 11:51 a.m. PDT (2:51 p.m. EDT; 1851 GMT).
Space Shuttle Discovery (Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-103) is one of the orbiters from NASA's Space Shuttle program and the third of five built.[4] Its first mission, STS-41-D, flew from August 30 to September 5, 1984. Over 27 years of service it launched and landed 39 times, gathering more spaceflights than any other spacecraft to date.[5]
Discovery became the third operational orbiter to enter service, preceded by Columbia and Challenger.[6] It embarked on its last mission, STS-133, on February 24, 2011 and touched down for the final time at Kennedy Space Center on March 9,[7] having spent a cumulative total of almost a full year in space. Discovery performed both research and International Space Station (ISS) assembly missions. It also carried the Hubble Space Telescope into orbit. Discovery was the first operational shuttle to be retired, followed by Endeavour and then Atlantis.

a wonderful afternoon spent at Art Space in Portsmouth. Taken around by Natalie Dowse.
These photographs are of John McPherson's work.
Sitting on top of the Orbiter Transport System (OTS), Atlantis awaits the 9.8 mile trip to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex where she will go on permanent display. Tomorrow will mark the first time since 1979 an orbiter has not called KSC home.
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

This is part of the Mission: Space exhibit at Epcot. I'm not sure which was more fun, taking these photos or taking a simulated shuttle launch inside Mission:Space. In order to get this shot I set the camera for long exposure, set the self-timer, and placed the camera on ground directly beneath the shuttle. It took some trail and error but I finally walked away with my shot.
