Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

Where have I seen this concept before?

I had one too, back in the (on that) day. Mine was only a haiku.

Watch as I fly
lower than the eagles
one last time

At least one thing is ready for #LPSC2025 Though I'm sad I won't see some people I'd hoped to.

LPSC stickers in packages ready to travel. Pride Planets (Mercury, Venus, Moon, Asteroids, Mars, Comets, Titan, Europa, Pluto, Exoplanets. JWST); Venus Swag (old and new; Venus is Just Alright With Me, Put Venus on Your Radar, Get Down To Venus, Cytherian); VfOx; Space for everyone; No Space for harrasment

Added Asteroids and Comets to my sticker order for #LPSC2025 Also Space is for Everyone, Venus is Just Alright, and a few more - including some vintage stickers from year(s) past. This doesn't even count the new batch from OVEN. I (and some designated sticker elves) will have 100s of stickers

It keeps on feeling like the wheels are coming off, so I look for something grounding. I've made a new shirt design for LPSC every year since just before covid. Here is this year's. I think it makes #6.

"Venus is just alright with me" design in warped 70's style font

Here is my first roster of #PridePlanet #LPSC2025 stickers. V3NUS is locked in - a reprise from last year, but I'm happy to crowdsource alt fonts - and additional bodies/planetary themes if people are interested. Reply or DM. I do it out of pocket so support for a bigger run is always appreciated.

LPSC 2025 Pride Planet Draft Sticker Roster. Large fonts with Pride flag colors inscribed - VENUS, Mercury, Europa, Titan, Pluto, Mars, Moon, Exoplanets. Also two alternative versions for Venus with the flag inscribed over the disk of Venus and V#NUS either inside or next to the disk.

I wrote this for NaPoWriMo in 2014, and it came back to mind unbidden in the events of the last week and day. Especially now: Never lose your sense of wonder. Never let anyone take the passion to *know* away from you. Never let anyone stop you from asking. Jump.

when the sky's pull
is so strong
it will either lift you up
or tear you apart

A toast to my fellow frozen science siblings. May we live to see the other side.

A new semester for the Vfox Student Collaboration Experiment for the DAVINCI mission begins next week. It'll be the 3rd semester of the course, with a new cohort of students learning the ins and outs of building a (very simple) instrument to study the Venus atmosphere, and helping to make it real.

For the starship combat nerds in my sphere: My friend and colleague Mark 'Indy' Kochte and I have been off and on working on a tabletop, miniature-based (think little starships) space combat game for well over a decade. We finally got our asses in gear this fall.

#V3NUS stands for the 3 NASA & ESA missions heading to the second planet in the next decade: #DAVINCI- a deep atmosphere probe (and more) (NASA) #VERITAS- a next generation radar satellite (and more) (NASA) #EnVision- ESA's Venus mission, a radar satellite with ground penetrating radar (and more).

How many orders of magnitude easier it would be to seriously colonize Antarctica than Mars? I believe it's 3. Maybe closer to 2 to safeguard against environmental repercussions. But I think 3 is about right. Perhaps that relative ease helps make it politically, internationally impossible.

If I'm going to make any record here, I should preface it with the most important stuff I've posted on media before now. Since the old xite is dead to me, here are the #MurderPlanets. I've only gotten through 5, but someday I intend to complete the set. First: Mercury
