'The difference between seeing a partial eclipse and totality, is the difference between flying in a plane or jumping out of one... Or kissing someone vs marrying them' paraphrased from Annie Dillard. Do not miss a totality.

This is quite a video. Every so often you just need to zoom out and reflect on how insane everything has become.

Space. Is. Difficult. But today a spacecraft landed on the moon with a copy of the language content we have been collecting since 01998. There are now 2 off world language archives, one on a comet, and the other on the moon. Congrats to all who worked on this.

I'm confused. In what world is 35%-50% growth not considered a continued success? Yes more is better and needed, but it is still the fastest growing vehicle segment right?

The finale to the series based on the amazing books by Hugh Howey was so good! I cant remember an adaptation that has nailed a book series so well. Cant wait for season 2 Apple TV!
