Some Days You Humans Really Impress Me

Space X managed to launch a rocket, deploy 11 satellites and then land that same rocket on a pad not far away from it's original launch site. This is a HUGE day in human achievement. You people have no idea what we could do if we got some of our shit together enough to work in the same direction to accomplish SOMETHING other than misery and death for once. Low cost rockets could mean an expansion of the Space Station program with possible missions to colonize the Moon or Mars.

It's looking very much like we're still going to be assholes when we go to the stars. Oh well.

Seeing that reminded me of our Roomba vacuum cleaner. It docks itself back at its recharging station when it's done too. That's OLD technology, man! LOL

Oh yeh, Kelly. We will be assholes but we will be SPACE assholes.

When your Roomba achieves orbit, Debra, talk to me.

We might just meet much bigger assholes
out there.

I hope for their sake they are up to the challenge. We can be some pretty nasty rat like creatures when we are motivated.

When I finish my PRINCESSES IN SPACE books, I'm starting the SPACE ASSHOLES series!

I want to be one of the characters that dies early on for his very human but very asshole like behavior.
