Space

What made me happy today? Space!
Or, to be more precise, what people who have been in space said about it.
Going into space and landing on the moon are experiences that are bound to have an impact on a person. I can only imagine what it must feel like to look at our little blue dot from so far away.
Good thing that there is a cartoon to tell us what it's like, based on what Edgar Mitchell once said. But not only Edgar Mitchell has had a thing to say about seeing Earth from space, many others have too. You can find their quotes here.
I'm still hoping that one day I might be able to see our little blue dot from space myself. Who knows what the future holds...

Combo!

What made me happy today? A combination of two of my favorite things!
A long time ago I posted about xkcd, one of my favorite webcomics. On several occasions I have mentioned being a bit (okay, understatement) of a space aficionado.
In yesterday's blog I posted a link to Chris Hadfield's Space Oddity music video. And what do I see today?
What-if xkcd wonders if Space Oddity is the most expensive music video ever! I'm not telling you the answer, head on over and see for yourself.
This definitely made my whole day :-)
