Logging on

Yesterday, the crew of the ISS called the crew of #Artemis2 and had a short conversation in between their busy schedules of research and documentation (I promise, to a scientist, that's more fun than it sounds!)

This was the first ship-to-ship communications ever to take place in space. #NASA

A very British tradition this - the right to see a big cat, in the dark, on a cold winter's evening, not take a photograph, and claim it was an escaped jaguar is a firm right for all Godfearing Englishmen. It's probably in Magna Carta or something.

A land art installation by Jon Foreman on Druidstone Beach in Wales, showing a carefully arranged gradient of black stones on wet sand, transitioning from large rocks to tiny pebbles in a flowing, organic pattern. In the background, a tall coastal cliff with a narrow waterfall cascades down toward the shoreline, while the artist crouches nearby placing the final stones. The composition blends natural textures, scale, and precision, highlighting Foreman’s signature style of using found materials to create temporary geometric forms shaped by the landscape.

As a child of Apollo now watching current day MSM cover today’s efforts the differences are startling.
Factual scientific coverage from professionals has been replaced with superficial DRAMA from deep voiced slow talking ghouls who want an emergency.
Bring back scientists and professionals.👇

Artemis II crew returning to Earth.

A clip that makes my stomach drop to my bum every time I see it: everyman daredevil John Noakes climbs to the top of Nelson's Column in a 1977 BLUE PETER episode. File under 'health and safety gone mad!'. Pity the poor cameramen too...

Zack in front of a hope is here sign.

🚨 First time in British history that a party to the left of Labour have topped a national poll.

💚 Hope is here. It's all of us.

Cherry blossoms in Japan.

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

Is that not THE BEST photo of Robin Williams?

Such natural laughter

I mean, you don't really need a translator

Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen – in the centre of the image – peers out the window of the Orion spacecraft on day 3 of NASA's Artemis II mission. The controls over the commander and pilot seats are illuminated in the foreground, but the cabin is otherwise dark to avoid unnecessary glares on the windows.

The Moon approaching as seen by the crew of Artemis II on Flight Day 3

An illuminated sliver of Earth set against the blackness of space is seen through the window of the Orion spacecraft in this photograph from the Artemis II crew on the third day of their journey to the Moon.

✅ #Artemis II update: the Orion spacecraft with its European Service Module is now more than halfway to its destination, and crew preparations for lunar flyby are under way 🧪🔭

Mistletoe balls in the bare branches of a tree alongside the Evesham Road.

One thing I've noticed about Stratford-upon-Avon walking around this winter is that we have an awful lot of mistletoe on trees all over the town. Way more than other places I frequent.

All the better for...

I have to admit, this made me tear up a bit.
I'm a sentimental old fool.

It is crazy how few people know this:

Russia now occupies less Ukrainian land than it did one month into the full-scale invasion four years ago

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Oh.

Ministers explore triggering break clause in Palantir’s NHS contract Government is under pressure to eject the controversial American company from NHS England data systems

That UK government ever considers asserting its contractual rights against a major supplier is rare and welcome.

And here, this is especially welcome.

This will not be easy but it can be done, but it is good it is being seriously considered at all.

That is a proper timeline cleanser

When movies were shot on physical film, the film was measured in feet.

This is why any recorded thing is now called ‘footage.'

It's just unreal how little thought or planning went into starting a new massive war in the Middle East.

50 years ago today, cameras started rolling on Star Wars.

At that moment, no one could have imagined that this was a turning point for pop culture and for all of our lives. A journey to a galaxy far, far away that changed everything forever.

Drawn by artist Howard Lee. Pure nostalgia as reminds me of my childhood when we spent hours playing in the dene. One particular tree that we sat under or swung out from.

Had to speed it up a little.

(The pumpkin was a little too much - we didn’t have them, it was turnip’s for lanterns for us).
