August’s BLUE MOON is gorgeous space rock.
I had no idea that it was possible for there to be two full Moons in one month. That shouldn’t be surprising, since I an an unwashed dunce. What a thrill though!, to continue learning even as I go grey and find my flatulence becoming unrestrained flatulence splattering undies and hair molecules alike.
Let’s learn!

SpaceX gets clearance to begin resupply missions to the International Space Station in October. Pumpkin Lager INC.
SpaceX is going to be bringing the fucking pumpkin spice to space this October. At least, that is what I would be doing if I was running the resupply missions during such a season. Getting ripped to the tits, staring at the Blue Marble from afar.
Saturn ninjas its own rings with SHADOWS of DOOM. Or something.
Cassini has been capable of capturing some pretty righteous space pictures as it goes about in the Saturn system. This little bit of lighting awesomeness is only the latest example. Where be the rings, you ask? Double doi! I respond. In the shadow.
Curiosity Rover premiering will.i.am’s’ new song on Mars. We’re already ruining that planet.
Sweet fuck, Ray. You were right. Your boy Jeff Spender was correct as well. No sooner have we set down some impressive roving capabilities onto the ground of Mars have we begun sullying it. Debuting shitty pop culture vomit such as will.i.am on Mars? If we’re going no standards let me read some OL prose upon Bradbury’s landing.
Neil Armstrong: True Hero [1930 – 2012]
Earth got a little less interesting yesterday when Niel Armstrong passed away at the age of 82. In an age when people are famous from drunken exploits and reality TV shows, Neil was truly an inspiration. In the 60’s and 70’s he was a reality star in a different way. Except what he was doing mattered. Oh what a time to be alive. He was the face of space exploration for over 40 years. In a year where we already lost Ray Bradbury, this is another black mark. If we lose Chuck Yaeger in 2012, I may cry.
Video: NASA sending another ROBOT TO MARS. Yeah, get that Red Planet goodness.
Complimenting my philosophy of “more shit to Mars, all the time!“, NASA has announced they’re sending another robot to the Red Planet in 2016. Obviously carrying the hidden DNA capsules that will begin vat-growing the first spacemen to secretly colonize the planet. Doi. Google it, you ignoramuses.
Mars rover fires its laser, totally lights up a rock. It’s for science, people. And fun.
Ain’t nothing wrong with mussing around a little bit on Mars. Curiosity has deployed its laser, teaching a dumb Martian rock about the strength of human prowess. Or at least how much we like blasting things with phallic lasers.
Video: Footage of Curiosity gives you a point-of-view of landing on Mars.
Nothing much to say here. Just an illin’ point-of-view video of the rover landing on Mars. Tremendous.
NASA pulls off a 350-million mile software update. Mars ain’t nothing!
NASA doesn’t fear distance! Nor space! Those dreaming fools have updated Curiosity’s software. No big deal, it was only a 350-million mile jaunt from Earth to Mars. Just another day in the life of those space-wizards.
Perseid Meteor set against the Milky Way-filled sky. Space porn.
I wish I was rocking out in this particular portion of Germany. The night sky be all filled up with Perseid meteors, set up against a cuddly portion of the Milky Way. Ain’t it quite romantical? Just me and my cardboard cut-out of Jennifer Lawrence, gazing into the Universe. Her ignoring my hand on her bubub, ignoring the red wine I’m spilling all over myself. Peace. Tranquility.
