Spacecraft to Slam Into the Moon
"Scientists are plotting out a "crash course" in learning what happens when a European lunar probe slams into the Moon."
Um... what do you think will happen? It will hurtle toward the moon's surface and smash into bits after impact. And people spent money on this?
The name of the probe is "SMART-1". You know, just for added irony.

I've gotten an unexpected day off today. So, hmm. I'm at a loss as to what to do with my time. There are tons of things I can be doing - should be doing, as a matter of fact - but. Here I am. Quelle surprise, really.

I feel like sharing.
One of my all-time favorite albums is Cat Steven's Tea for the Tillerman. There's something about it - maybe because I grew up listening to it in the car on long trips as a child - that gives me warm fuzzies.
Here's Miles from Nowhere via Yousendit. It's an uplifting song, or so I've always thought. Anyway, the record is worth getting still, despite being from 1970 - ha!
