  1. The Moon Takes the Bow: The Longest Fight in the Sky, Scored on Love, Fear, Respect, and Attention

    Two fighters have been circling each other since before anyone kept records, and the purse has never changed hands: the human gaze. In one corner burns a furnace so vast that something like a million Earths could rattle around inside it, the engine behind every green leaf and every heartbeat on this planet. In the other corner floats a charcoal-colored rock, airless and dead, throwing back about twelve percent of the light that hits it. On paper the match is a slaughter. In practice the rock has been taking rounds for ten thousand years, and the strangest fact on the whole card is a matter of scheduling, since only one of these two shows up for both shifts. […]

  3. Buzz Aldrin is 96 today, and that reminds me of the day in 2014, when I took 2 kids to Speyer to hear him speak at the Technikmuseum.

    We were so early that we sat right outside the entrance when he arrived and was shown around. My kids were sitting on the floor, playing something. He seemed a little irritated by that :-)

    Happy Birthday, Mr Aldrin!

    Why people keep promoting this moon landing conspiracy is totally beyond me. The only thing that’s fake is Kim Kardashian’s backside.

  8. Neil Armstrong becomes first man to walk on the Moon at 02:56 UTC (10:56PM EDT) July 21, 1969.

    I was at Camp Durant the week of Apollo 11 in 1969. The Boy Scout Camp had no TVs or radios. I had decided to smuggle my 13" Motorola Cadet B&W to camp that year.

    The camp infirmary was manned by medics from Ft. Bragg. They were absolutely willing to host my TV. I think Taps blew at 10:00 but by the time the LM was decompressed and the hatch was about to open you couldn't fit one more boy in the room.

    Imagine a 13" B&W TV sitting on a milk crate on the floor and it providing the only source of light in the room. The monochrome glow illuminating every face as we witnessed a human step on the lunar soil and make that historic quote from the small 2 inch speaker. The image transmitted that evening was a negative of what we see now. I recall the network voice explaining that the feed from NASA was inverted. It mattered not to these viewers. It did not fail to make an impression.

    We sat there for the 2 and a half hours of External Vehicle Activity by two earthlings on the surface of the Moon. Simply an overwhelming experience.

    As we walked back to our campsite with the trail made visible by the light of the Moon above. We talked about the future. The future of humanity and our nations role in the world.
