In a nutshell or two: I love aerospace. I'm an engineer, writer, a photographer, and a reader. And, of course, a blogger. I spent my high school years in New York City, managing to defy every urban bum new yorker stereotype (except for the "bum" part). My school life basically revolved around Aviation and Science Bowl. If you continue to read this, I can assure you three (3) things: (1) impeccable grammar (yea, ok) and spelling (thanks to auto spell check), (2) a total lack of entertainment (literally, everyone’s view of entertainment is different), (3) an alliteration of photos, and (4) so many listings. (and of course parentheses)

lone explorer from Earth around Saturnian system
An awe-inspiring journey captured by Cassini in the 13 years it’s been observing the Saturnian system. It is humbling and breathtaking to see the spacecraft taking images of the glowing and sun-eclipsing Saturn.
Preemptively, in few hours, Cassini will burn up and disintegrate like a meteor as it enters the Satrun’s atmosphere at 70,000 miles per hour.
It is truly a privilege to be part of NASA’s JPL to explore the grandeur of the universe.
forever
I don't believe in luck. I do believe we've known each other since forever, though. Her: Really? Yeah. You know how? When the big bang happened, all the atoms in the universe, they were all smashed together into one little dot that exploded outward. So my atoms and your atoms were certainly together then, and, who knows, probably smashed together several times in the last 13.7 billion years. So my atoms have known your atoms and they've always known your atoms. My atoms have always loved your atoms.
Plato’s Theory of Forms or Theory of Ideas, holds that forms (the abstract quality or property of something) exist independent of Space and Time. It asserts that non-material abstract (but substantial) forms (or ideas), and not the material world of change known to us through sensation, possess the highest and most fundamental kind of Reality.
Forms are:
Transcendent - the forms are not located in Space and Time. For example, there is no particular place or time at which redness exists. Pure – the forms only exemplify one property. Material objects are impure; they combine a number of properties such as blackness, circularity, and hardness into one object. A form, such as circularity, only exemplifies one property. Archetypes - the forms are archetypes; that is, they are perfect examples of the property that they exemplify. The forms are the perfect models upon which all material objects are based. The form of redness, for example, is red, and all red objects are simply imperfect, impure copies of this perfect form of redness. Ultimately Real - the forms are the ultimately real entities, not material objects. All material objects are copies or images of some collection of forms; their Reality comes only from the forms. Causes - the forms are the causes of all things. They provide the explanation of why any thing is the way it is, and they are the source or origin of the being of all things. Systematically Interconnected - the forms comprise a system leading down from the form of the good moving from more general to more particular, from more objective to more subjective. This systematic structure is reflected in the structure of the dialectic process by which we come to knowledge of the forms.
delta(climate)
so a while back the U.S. Supreme Court demand quantitative rationales for regulatory decisions; hence, the scientific study on climate change goes beyond the facts and maintains fidelity by using economics ideas. Since the climate change study uses probability and uncertainty for risk predictions, they raise questions about the epistemology on how scientists know what they know, and what evidences are used to validate the study... basically what i’m saying is that looking at these presidential debates, it almost (well, certainly) feels like they are a mere chicanery onto discussing dogma and not the future of our humankind — say virtual reality or sending bots to alpha centauri. Its just kinda sad to see how gullible our society is. This just reminds me of the philosophical psychology of Sherlock Holmes. Essentially we, as evolving species, should be more mindful as in to be more aware — we must observe, not merely to see, that is with our eyes, but the rest of our senses (im just saying not to be ignorant and think critically [though this is such a generic term])

My mum always said things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect.

Earth, you are my wishing star. Here’s how you look from my home on the surface of Mars.

This is a very deep and poetic view of humans by the intuitive and genius mind of Carl Sagan. His breath marked of a great time for science.
