Stirone has an opinion piece in today's online New York Times  promoting NASA.

Discussing the Hubble Space Telescope, she claims that . . .

"Hubble peers deep into space, patiently collecting the universe’s traveling light,
then delivering it to us in never before seen images: galaxies, supernovas and
nebulae. It is a time machine. And without it we wouldn’t know we are inside
a galaxy that is just one of possibly trillions."

New Meaning

Filed under: General — m759 @ 11:45 pm

1985 — Church window in "Broken Wings" music video —

For Kristen Wiig, whose performances

  • in "MacGruber" (2010) to the accompaniment of
    the above 1985 Mr. Mister song "Broken Wings," and
  • as NASA spokesperson Annie Montrose in the upcoming
    film "The Martian" 

give a new meaning to the phrase "flying fuck."

Update of 9 PM:

The book that "The Martian" is based on is by Andy Weir.
A somewhat Hindu (or Socratic) religious meditation from
Weir's earlier story "The Egg" —

“Your soul is more magnificent, beautiful, and gigantic
than you can possibly imagine."
