I rather like Moon. Not the moon, although it must be said, the moon has some good qualities to it. The tides and making the night slightly less dark, thats all good and well. Werewolves is the only bit that isn't great. I mean if the moon didn't exist then no-one would ever be able to turn into one and that would be much better, except we would lose some great films, or they'd have to use effects...

Before Daedelus’ performance Friday night, I’d never really understood “underground” when describing a show. I’ve listened to underground music. I had been a fan of Daedelus’ Exquisite Corpse , and recently, became a fan of Free the Robots. I never before had to search for a music venue down a dark dead end alley, which was marked by a couple of beef cakes in black...

I remember back when I was in high school and Apollo 11 landed on the moon. Neil Armstrong proclaimed this to be a giant step for mankind, and it truly was. Now, we need to take another giant step for mankind, and for this one, we don't have to leave the planet.

I have just watched the liftoff of the space shuttle Atlantis’ on mission STS-129 to the International Space Station. I’ve been watching rocket and shuttle launches since I was a little girl, and it always gives me a huge thrill.

My life, as reflected in these posts, has been very Glass/ Orphée centric over the last month. For me it has been a time of searching and discovery, of excitement, and of joy at making new friends. And now, it's over. There would be a sense of let-down were it not for the fact that I have found a new enthusiasm for opera. My dear friend Lea was upbraiding me recently when I was grumbling about...

Warmoth's pick last Friday featured "Star Trek: The Next Generation" star LeVar Burton (the guy with the eye visor thing) posing for a photo op with Neil Armstrong, the first man to set foot on the moon. Of course, the importance of Armstrong's new moon [...]

Space was sexy in the 60s. The decade is known for the Space Race, when the United States sent men to the moon in an effort to outstrip the Soviet Union in space exploration. Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, Jr. became national heroes. Armstrong’s famous quote — “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” — reverberated in...

“Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.” With those eight words, astronaut Neil Armstrong let the world know that Apollo 11 had landed safely on the moon, beginning humankind’s first exploration of another world. The landing certainly kept the mission operations crew in suspense as Armstrong maneuvered around the bouldery ejecta on the northeast flank [...]
