Fascinating, thank you! Fun fact: Compaq computers were used in NASA's Mission Control Center, and there is a display of what the consoles looked like on site.

Wrapped my second set of science simulations for #Artemis II. This is the good stuff amongst the chaos.

Well, it finally happened. NASA has removed the following from the main Artemis page: "NASA will land the first woman, first person of color, and first international partner astronaut on the Moon." Last seen via the Wayback Machine on March 14.
Wayback Machine capture on March 14, 2025, of NASA Artemis page, which included "NASA will land the first woman, first person of color, and first international partner astronaut on the Moon." Current NASA Artemis page without "NASA will land the first woman, first person of color, and first international partner astronaut on the Moon."

Peaceful moment of the day: hawks building a nest above me, as I eat lunch outside and enjoy the beautiful weather.
Hawk sitting in tree. Hawk sitting in tree. Hawk flying back to tree with branches for nest. Hawk flying with branches for nest.

took a break from the news to hear @paglen.studio and Jeffrey Kripal discuss UFOs as magic as media as reality as perception

Dug up some collages I made in 2022. Lotta feelings these past two weeks as the new administration tries to tear us all down.
Collage. An astronaut helmet is full of stars, with a large pink one with rainbow stitches shooting out. A black woman looks up in the same direction. "A New Kind" is across the top. Collage. "The Past Is Present" is across the middle of the piece. A woman astronaut points out to a luna moth.
