Imagine for a moment that you knew nothing of the science explaining the northern lights. What would you think when you saw this?
Brother Neil deGrasse Tyson that is… With sermons worth sitting through! 😀
Well hell yeah, if they’re the melodysheep! 😉
As far as I’m concerned, Dave Jacka is a real-life superhero, and his story is an inspiration for us all…

It’s funny. Just days before seeing the following image from Child of the Cosmos, I was having my own goofy thoughts regarding how difficult developing a working missile defense system has turned out to be… But then it occurred to me that the European Space Agency – Rosetta mission team did have a little more…

The heart wants what the heart wants, right?

Struggles such as that, IMHO, are perhaps the essential defining characteristic of our species – the one thing we all have in common regardless of where we come from as individuals. And when we, as individuals, look for something to inspire us – to make the odds we face seem less insurmountable somehow – there’s just nothing like a bigger-than-life tale of heroism, true or fictional, to do the trick.
The SyFy Channel series Continuum is one such tale.
