The trouble is I remember that almost as if it were yesterday.

The sands of time are slipping through my fingers faster every day.

When I worked in Centralia 40 years ago they still talked about that and who was related to the victims and perps. The wobblys made a lot of enemies when the went on strike during WW I.

Apollo 13

Apollo 13 CSM oxygen tank explosion 13th April 1970.

We all know what happened, and in particular the wonderful ending, but we can now see this spectacular footage from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter which recreates the view from Apollo 13 on the far side of the Moon.



Embiggen and enjoy!

FWIW My neighbour, presently stranded in Oz, tells me that she can't get used to the 'upside down Moon'.

I was almost done watching the video and thought I would make a funny comment, "love the soundtrack, so appropriate" as I imagined gliding through the silence of space... Then I realized I had muted the speaker on my phone. D'oh! I rewatched it with the actual soundtrack actually playing, and it was ok. But I think I prefer watching it in silence. The video is stunning.

Osama bin Laden, the suspected mastermind behind the September 11 attacks and the FBI's most wanted man, is killed by United States Special Forces in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
