Google Now and a New Place

Google Now and a New Place

Google Now asks me if I care about travel time to this place. Silly thing is that when I touch the green pushpin, nothing happens. I have no idea what that place is … but I’m somewhat interested now.

Aww, I thought it said "Do you care about time travel to this place?" and I was like, YES!

I heard through the Page Rank grapevine that the big G. is indexing the future as we speak.

San Francisco’s Raygun Gothic Rocket

tcr! tcr! · Mar 14, 2013 at 7:58 pm

Raygun Gothic Rocket

The Raygun Gothic Rocketship is a rococo retro-futurist future-rustic vernacular between yesterday’s tomorrow and the future that never was, a critical kitsch somewhere between The Moons of Mongo & Manga Nouveau.

The photo above is from Burning Man but the rocket ship now lives on Pier 14 in San Francisco. And yes, I will pilot this to the Outer Rim.

It’s also for sale.

There’s only one… it’s unique. (Although, if you’d like us to make a second or third… we have the technology).

Apollo Moon Mission Photos

From NASA’s Archives, 50 Amazing Photos Of The Apollo Moon Missions

In May of 1961, President John F. Kennedy made a promise to put a man on the Moon—and return him back safely—by the end of the decade. Somehow, it worked.

Over 50 years later, it’s easy to forget how ambitious Kennedy’s promise was. We’d gotten our butts kicked in the Cold War space race with Russia. America hadn’t launched the first satellite. America hadn’t been first off this planet (with a human or an animal). America hadn’t been first to the Moon, even, if you count Russia’s Luna 2 and 3 satellites. In fact, Kennedy’s speech came just 20 days after we’d put our first man, Alan Shepard, into space. Then six years later, our manned quest to the moon would start with the most extreme failure possible, when three astronauts died in a fire during Apollo 1 launchpad testing.

But between 1961 and 1975, NASA’s Apollo missions would change the world. Competition would drive America’s innovation to extremes, the likeness of which I’m not sure we can say we’ve seen since. We’d make it to the Moon in 1969, and by 1975, we’d begin cooperating with Russia in the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. In winning the space race, America took strides to ending the Cold War. Two superpowers fired their rockets into the air rather than at each other, and we’re a far more accomplished species for the sentiment.

Don’t give up on NASA.
