Some random quotes...

"Believing there is no God gives me more room for belief in family, people, love, truth, beauty, sex, Jell-O and all the other things I can prove and that make this life the best life I will ever have."

~Penn Jillette

"When I was a baby my feet didn't touch the ground for 3 years. Ladies kept passing me around, that's why I'm so confident"
~Ron Bennington

"You don't know what pressure is until you've played for five dollars a hole with only two in your pocket."
-Lee Trevino

"The fundamental problem with golf is that every so often, no matter how lacking you may be in the essential virtues required of a steady player, the odds are that one day you will hit the ball straight, hard, and out of sight. This is the essential frustration of this excruciating sport. For when you've done it once, you make the fundamental error of asking yourself why you can't do this all the time."
-Colin Bowles

there is more, of course.

"for every credibility gap, there is a gullibility fill"

We all love NASA. And why not, they have promoted a healthy interest in the space program. For years and years, as far as I can remember, NASA has been sending things into space to further our understanding of that harsh environment, and even this one.

Today, as we ponder the amount of satellites and other junk out there, a sense of pride tries to shout from somewhere in the past. Somewhere in time when NASA was not responsible for providing science on par with the instrumentation at their disposal.

But I am disappointed. Today we get the same shit over and over again, while here and there scientists not in on the deception, fuck up. It is sad, thinking to some hard-working student at the University of Arizona, eager to show off something they think is new and profound to all life on this planet. This information is then covered up and the student reprimanded.

What sort of thing is NASA into. What should we be expecting them to be into. I think NASA has a responsibility they are not fulfilling. I think the field of science has a model of honesty and integrity to flesh out. We can most of the time expect the opposite.

There is a film out there called In the Shadow of the Moon which documents the culture surrounding our shooting to the moon. It may not be in this film but in some of the other media regarding this topic there are camera engineers interviewed. Why the mystery surrounding the loss of quality? Ive got a Wired article where the guy in charge of the monitors in Houston was told he was out of a job if he corrected the live footage.
