Fifty Years Of Space Exploration. Well, American space Exploration At Least. Originally Published By

Fifty years of space exploration. Well, American space exploration at least. Originally published by National Geographic back in 2008, a few things have changed:

Several new missions have embarked to our Moon since 2008, including the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, GRAIL (mission complete, RIP) and LADEE, just launched last week.

The Mars Curiosity rover, duh!

Juno, launched in 2011, is only halfway to Jupiter today. That big planet is far away.

The Solar Dynamics Observatory has given us beautiful solar spectra to stare at.

New Horizons is set to be the first spacecraft to fly by Pluto and its moons in 2015. It rode on the fastest launch vehicle ever in order to begin its epic journey.

And Voyager has left the building …

Embigginate this beautiful piece of work here.

If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is.

as seen here in katherines and paper towns, you are very opinionated on subdivisions. what are your feelings about them and why?

I really hated subdivisions as a teenager because to me they represented sameness and the bloated, intellectually disengaged, wretchedly average 21st century America.

I felt like all these identical houses were architectural crimes committed against the land, and like we would pay for our crimes with these stretched out, sprawling cities that human beings of the future would see as proof of the insanity that accompanied our national prosperity.

Now I live in that very suburbia. So….yeah.
