To begin, some motivation that struck me particularly hard.

And a photo I must share, so cute

That smile is too much 🙂

And now to some meaty substance, matter, space, and the final (is it really the final?) frontier.

The following video is the Joe Rogan Experience JRE #414 – Cmdr. Chris Hadfield. Hadfield, as I’m sure you’re aware, is a Canadian astronaut who just came back from some time up in the international space station.

Here is Chris doing his zero-g music video

In the Joe Rogan interview below, one particularly interesting story is when Chris talks about looking at the stars… flying along in his jet fighter, he flies above most of the atmosphere, switches on autopilot, turns off his cockpit lights, reclines his seat, and then gazes at the stars, at the Milky Way, and the great beyond. Really cool guy, that Hadfield.

To depart from the final frontier, into one more distant…

Into the mind.

But, be warned… space is a dangerous place, both sky high above the Earth (and the sky itself), and deep beyond the regular operation of our brains, beyond the normal form of our minds. We can reach deep, distant, expansive vistas… but we must always be careful to return to earth again.

Peace,
