JFK Moon Speech & Elon Mars Plans and the House grills SpaceX

You know i like the fact i am not a monkey but a part of space faring species. I really like people and things with balls. What i think makes us not monkey is the fact that monkeys just chill and chew which is probably enough even for some people.. but i like to think we can do better, and we do in fact make the world better, we are creators.

This is so crazy and Elon goes so matter of factly about it – it is awesome!

And finally – the U.S. House Armed Services Committee grills SpaceX – it is gold!

If they use the word “certification” one more time – I’ll throw my mac at this tree down in the garden. Also, when people say “ho-when” as opposed to “when” – the person is from Ohio, guaranteed.

I used to work for the Army and DoD – and things are usually slow in the Army but then i applied for a job to work as an artist on a base in Alabama, a Colonel called me and said i have to do an art test. And I said okay – sure. He said you have 48 hours starting now and hung up. There went my Army career.

Star Wars From Puppets To Pixels: Digital Characters In Episode II Documentary – and one more reason not to ever give up on what you love

My original vision for star wars was to have a lot of epic scale to it .. and at the same time have space ships and have creatures.. and all kind of fantastic things going on in it..

 

..Imagine a grown adult says this, and then probably repeats it in a boardroom because at some point George certainly did say this to a money guy, everyone laughs and then he goes on to make this vision and more and makes four billion dollars at the end.

 

There are probably homes in the suburbs where parents still tell their kids to stop dreaming.. but at the end of the day if you didn’t get enough of dreaming as a kid – you should know it is a great way to do adulting too.
