Today was good. It went by slow but it was good. We had photo review (a.k.a critic) this afternoon & guess who's photograph got put up as a good example? Alaska's did. Oh...& mine of course! My photograph was of Alaska with a long board. It turned out rather good but he doesn't think so. I'll be sure to put the photo up when my computer stops being a temperamental brat & actually decides to save my pictures on the system.
Later tonight we went out to dinner & cruised around for a while. While driving I noticed how bright the moon was & how in perspective, it's strange. I mean, we can see it plain as day, even some craters on it but yet it takes a little over a year to get to it. I find it fascinating that we can't see other states like we see the moon yet they are in driving distance.
Today was hug a vegetarian day.
Hugs for being vegetarian= 0
Hugs for shits & giggles= roughly 10
Correction: hug for being vegetarian= 1 via webcam (from Grace)
You do realize that it only takes a week to get to the moon AND back, right?

Last time anybody went to the moon in 1972 it took about 3 days to get there. Today's technology hasn't improved much, so it would take about 3 days now. Based on technology that we can understand, even if it doesn't yet exist, imagine unlimited engine power. But don't imagine unlimited acceleration, because we can't stand more than about 2G acceleration for a long period, and we haven't yet got a clue how to accelerate without feeling the effects. So the fastest we'll get to the Moon any time soon is to accelerate at 2G for the first half of the trip and decelerate at 2G for the rest of the journey. That would take about 3 hours.
ReplyDeleteok, now my brain hurts.
ReplyDeleteMy brain hurts now too.
ReplyDeleteBut I was also looking at the moon while we were riding along, haha.
And I definitely gave you a bunch of hugs. Though I guess I didn't really say they were for being a vegetarian... :P
