We are all made of stars

I know Moby made that phrase popular but hearing that song yesterday just reminded me how awesome everything is.  I got out of my truck to pick our oldest up from school and felt the sun beating down on me.  I looked up and it hit me; this is an amazing place, our universe.

Which reminds me of an awesome miniseries I’m looking forward to in June.  A DiscoveryHD show called When we left Earth.  There is a great ad for it playing using Gimme Shelter from the Rolling Stones.  Can’t wait to see it.  I’ve seen many documentaries and they just don’t get old.  It’s not every day you send something as tall as an office building into outerspace.

When the heavy lift Ares V starts testing it’ll be about as tall as fully stacked Saturn V.  I can’t wait to see those bad boys go up, a guaranteed Earth trembling experience.
