As a child I remember reading about Duncan Campbell's rocket-propelled speedboat Bluebird - which crashed and sunk on Coniston Water trying to break the world speed limit in 1967, killing Campbell.
And for a while I was absolutely obsessed with it. I don't know why, but something about the story, the shape of the boat, even its name just lit up all the synapses in my 9/10 year old brain. I went to the local library and tried to find everything I could about the boat and Campbell.
Fast-forward to now and I haven't thought of that for nearly half a century. But I do know that a few years ago they found the wreckage of the boat and recovered it ... and now it's been out on Coniston Water for the very first time since it sunk. And I can feel 50-year-old synapses starting to fire again ...

There's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out, but it's too tough for him. 💙
This painting came from that feeling. The thing you hold onto quietly. The hope you guard with both hands even when you're not sure why.
Acrylic on canvas, 2026.

In happier news, we have babies! At least 4.
The last few years, the house has seen attempts, but typically abandoned before eggs even happened.

AST SpaceMobile's BlueBird Satellite failed to achieve optimal orbit in launch on April 19, and it will be "deorbited".
The full-size mobile-broadband satellite was carried to space by Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket, and it successfully separated from the launch rocket and powered on but was placed into a lower orbit than planned.
AST SpaceMobile is building a space-based cellular broadband network accessible directly from standard, unmodified smartphones. https://www.pcmag.com/news/blue-origin-rocket-launches-then-loses-ast-spacemobile-bluebird-satellite #Space #ASTSpaceMobile #BlueOrigin #NewGlenn #Satellite #SpaceCraft #BlueBird #DirecttoDevice #BroadBand #Cellular
