I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Another discovery -- while my computer speakers made it up to the 29th floor, their power supply did not. Boo.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
What did other people learn or discover?
As long as all the meetings of all the committees and groups and teams exist to recommend things rather than actually making them happen, we never have to do any work. On the down side, it means the meetings go on forever.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I did not know that Dean Stockwell was in Blue Velvet. I mean, it's been probably 10 years since I saw it, but I don't remember him in it at all.
I got a bit soured on the idea of space exploration and bases on the moon when I hit college and remembered where the word "colonize" usually ends us up. Not that there are people on the moon, but the lurky ugliness of the concept remains.

Coding and Sleeping
I'm skeptical about a moon base being useful in getting to Mars. I think money would be better spent developing technology to get robotic probes to Mars and other locations faster than we currently do, and getting samples back. Seems like we'd want to be able to do that before sending people anyway. A moon base would be a smaller gravity well, but I suspect that the benefit of building things there would be offset by the difficulties of building things there.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

He lipsyncs Roy Orbison while singing into a lightbulb while being thoroughly decadent, drugged up and fey.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
The base on Antarctica is doing okay, isn't it?

Got it, Dana. Thank you so much! I'm going to go get some groceries and listen to it in the car, and undoubtably weep my ass off. Score!

Not to be too terribly crass, but until the culture of NASA gets over being squeamish about people dying, I don't see it doing too well in the manned space business. The only thing the shuttle is allowed to do right now is to visit a moneysuck/lifeboat because *gasp* space is dangerous.
That's a tremendous culture to overcome.
