Space Shuttle Endeavour sits on the launch pad at Kennedy Space Center, an hour before it’s scheduled 25th and final flight.  One more flight remains in the Shuttle Program.

All Pretty Now. (or, as pretty as it’s going to get!)

The One True Path

1 Comment

I’m an ordained High Priest.  (Really, I am. Honest.)

This is one of my Altars of the One True Path.

It dispenses the Elixir of Life.

It is not necessary to bow down before it, it’s only a machine, after all.

All hail the Altar of The One True Path!

Does this picture make me look…

… like my father?

I sure hear him when I cough, and sometimes I think I catch him looking at me in my pictures.  It’s all a bit unnerving.  Hi Dad.

The Republicans Hate You Don’t believe it?  Here’s a short list of things they did in the House of Representatives’ Armed Services Committee on Thursday morning: Approved, by a 33-27 vote, to require all four Service Chiefs to certify that the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell will not hurt the troops ability to fight.  Presently the law requires the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, the Defense Secretary, and the President to certify that DADT can be safely rescinded.  It seem … Read More

Peter LaBarbera, a busybody twit whose goal in life is  “exposing and countering the homosexual activist agenda”, Tweeted the message above, after JC_Christian tweaked his nose about the pending Rapture, due on May 21.

NASA has posted the following regarding the results of one of the longest research programs of it’s history.  The Gravity Probe B, first conceived in 1963, and in polar orbit around the Earth since 2004, has confirmed two key predictions of Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity.

Measurements made by the spacecraft have verified two effects of a gravitational body on space-time, the geodetic effect, the warping of space and time around a gravitational body, and frame-dragging, the amount a spinning object pulls space and time with it as it rotates.

NASA’s article provides some explanations how this knowledge will further science research, and more mundane things like global navigation and weather predictions.
