I will, however, spare a smile for the pup in this Half-Full, because the first day of cool weather here brought out a few dog jackets. To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish, To gild refined Gold, to paint the Lilly To which I will add that people who use filters on their foliage photos are not simply fakers but philistines. Shifting our own path to less parlous things, Non Sequitur offers a preview of the upcoming fall season, though I don’t have a favorite color, and, in fact, take particular pleasure in the mix, having lived nearly 20 years out in Colorado where the aspen turns golden and that’s all you get. We’ll deal with Ian the old-fashioned way, thanks. Though perhaps not by dropping nuclear bombs on hurricanes, no. So I like Joe Heller’s take, because, while the project was theoretical in nature, it’s also practical evidence that (A) we can worry about more than one thing at a time and (B) we could be doing more to save the planet from other threats. What went on in space the other day was theoretical science directed at a very practical goal. The damage and injuries were bad enough, and might be worse the next time. I don’t object to science for science’s sake, but I also remember when an asteroid-turned-meteor burst in the atmosphere over Cheyabinsk, Russia, in 2013. Over a couple of parsecs, the math becomes mind-boggling, but the potential is reassuring, or should be. I suppose GPS has changed this, but hiking with a compass once drove home the potential value in making a slight change in an asteroid’s pathway, because even in a hike of five miles, getting just a tiny bit off can utterly change where you end up. Joel Pett seems to be reaching, since all the Dart did was make a very minor shift in the asteroid’s orbit and we’re going to need a much more substantive change of direction if we hope to challenge the rise of fascism. I think the last time I heard that question, the answers began with Tang, but quickly expanded to a list of far more substantive scientific developments spawned from NASA projects.Īnd Tang wasn’t really created for the space program after all. I was also surprised that several cartoonists, including Kevin Necessary, greeted it with a “Why are we doing that?” response. I was surprised that NASA’s asteroid deflection drew so much attention, since they’ve been talking about it for several years. If you want to have tracking information on your order, that's great!
