Sharpening Up Jupiter

Rammstein’s Mein Herz Brennt + Classical Art

I officially bow down to the artists working at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). Also, thanks to NASA for recognizing and celebrating the power of art like this. 

These STUNNING posters can all be downloaded directly from JPL (in hi-res). And their mere existence is reason enough for a new Wednesday theme: World Tour Wednesday. 

Stay tuned for some more awesome posters that are out of this world* and worth touring

This budget is short-sighted, cruel to the point of being sadistic, stupid to the point of pure philistinism, and shot through with the absolute and fundamentalist religious conviction that the only true functions of government are the ones that involve guns, and that the only true purpose of government is to serve the rich.

I want to say that the Gemini astronaut in the foreground is either Gene Cernan or Ed White, but don't quote me on that.

As our knowledge of the universe in which we live increases, may God grant us the wisdom and guidance to use it wisely.

Ohne dich kann ich nicht sein, Ohne dich, Mit dir bin ich auch allein, Ohne dich, Ohne dich zähl ich die Stunden, Ohne dich, Mit dir stehen die Sekunden, Lohnen nicht
