When We Left Earth

This weekend, the Discovery Channel will be releasing their upcoming series, When We Left Earth, on Sunday at 9 pm. The program, which lasts six hours over three episodes, chronicles the history of NASA, and takes a look at it in high def.
Space history is something that I've gotten really interested in over the past year or two. There's been a lot that's covered, and I'll be interested to see what the program brings that's new to the field. Currently, my favorite space history resource is a book series called Outward Odyssey (U of Nebraska Press) which is extremely detailed. I guess this new series has a lot of unseen footage, which should be cool to see.

Boo!

Happy Halloween! For a bit of background, the holiday originates from the pagen holiday Samhain, from the Celts in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The name Halloween actually comes from All-Hallow-Even, which really means that it's the night before All Hallow's Day, aka All Saint's Day. In Mexico, the next couple of days are called Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. Lots of people know the day when free candy is given out.
So, to celebrate:
