#MoonLandingDay is a day to celebrate possibility; not just a couple guys bouncing around on a rock, but that many people from many different disciplines put their skills together to solve thousands of problems and ultimately accomplished something many said was impossible. Seems important today!
Packages of Astronaut brand freeze dried fruit and ice cream with individual packets of Tang. I handed them out at work, because I like celebrating obscure and made up holidays and they like getting free food.
Happy #MoonLandingDay
Tang and Space Ice Cream for everybody!!
A Home in Space Edwin Morgan Laid-back in orbit, they found their minds. They found their minds were very clean and clear. Clear crystals in swarms outside were their fireflies and larks. Larks they were in lift-off, swallows in soaring. Soaring metal is flight and nest together. Together they must hatch. Hatches let the welders out. Out went the whitesuit riggers with frames as light as air. Air was millions under lock and key. Key-ins had computers wild on Saturday nights. Nights, days, months, years they lived in space. Space shone black in their eyes. Eyes, hands, food-tubes, screens, lenses, keys were one. One night – or day – or month – or year – they all – all gathered at the panel and agreed – agreed to cut communication with – with the earth base – and it must be said they were – were cool and clear as they dismantled the station and – and gave their capsule such power that – that they launched themselves outwards – outwards in an impeccable trajectory, that band – that band of tranquil defiers, not to plant any – any home with roots but to keep a – a voyaging generation voyaging, and as far – as far as there would ever be a home in space – space that needs time and time that needs life.
Larks they were in lift-off, swallows in soaring.
Soaring metal is flight and nest together…

My high-def close-up photo of the half moon.
Selfie of me in a tartan kilt, sash, and headband lifting the rear of my kilt to flash, or 'moon', someone to the right.
Happy Moon Landing Day!* Show us your moonshots!
*Give or take. Depends on your time zone.

William Soutar Apotheosis Afore the world, like a frostit stane, Birls on thru space; Afore the sin has gaen black in the face, And the nicht liggs in the lift And winna shift; Lang, lang afore the hinmaist skelter o’ snaw Dings and dings in a yowdendrift That faulds, like the dounfa’ O time’s cauld mort-claith, round the deid yird— Man sall tak wings; And, as a bird, flee owre the wa’ o’ the world To bigg his nest in the braid breast O’ Cassiopeia Or whaur the galaxy hings like a watergaw Lippen on nae sin. Lang, lang, or earth’s day is dune Man sall tak wings And lauch at the auld-farand blethers O’ gowdan feathers; And hauch, and lauch, while his bluid sings, Abüne the gaunch o’ the thunner, And the deid sterns ane be ane Whunner by like flauchts frae a cleckin-stane.
…Man sall tak wings;
And, as a bird, flee owre the wa’ o’ the world
To bigg his nest in the braid breast
O’ Cassiopeia
Or whaur the galaxy hings like a watergaw
Lippen on nae sin…
