STARMAN WILL GO WHERE NO STARMAN WENT BEFORE

The Tesla Roadster orbits Earth before blasting off further into space.

Elon Musk announced last night on Twitter that the cherry red payload and its Starman passenger “exceeded Mars orbit.”

And now it will take months for the Roadster to travel some 600,000 miles into space…

SPACEX has mathematical sequences that show the Roadster will swing past Mars and approach the orbit of the largest object in the asteroid belt, Ceres, which at 567 miles in diameter..

So .. to the asteroid belt it goes! Perhaps to be blown into pieces of history..

On the other hand, there’s a good chance the sports car will be floating through our solar system for millions, if not billions, of years. So there’s ample time for a collision — perhaps even with Mars

The 2018 Winter Games sound like hell

New crisis for Winter Olympics as norovirus hits the GamesWelcome to the 2018 Winter Olympics..
Dog meat trade being kept under wraps. Nothing to bark at..
The winter flu bug has crept in.. So as norovirus..

Winter village is typically filled with sex and condom wrappers.. this year’s filled with the puddle of sickness, as vomiting takes hold of athletes and officials and the military has been called in for backup.

1,200 guards have been withdrawn from the Olympic sites and quarantined in their rooms with organisers forced to call in 900 soldiers as cover.

Along with the speed and health of the sick bug, this too: There were already concerns about the severity of the cold currently freezing Pyeongchang…

Athletes are understandably concerned for their health, with British team bosses advising against attendance if due to compete within 48 hours of the three-hour ceremony.

35,000 spectators attending the ope

ning ceremony at the Pyeongchang Olympic Stadium will be giving a rain coat, a small blanket, a winter cap, heating packs for hands and feet and a heating pad to sit on.

SOUNDS LIKE A BLAST.

MORE: “You know, you know I talked about the Halloweens for a long time, the sequels — I haven’t even seen all of them. I don’t even know what really was there — but finally, it occurred to me: Well if I’m just flapping my gums here, talking about it, why don’t I try to make it as good as I can? I could offer advice. I could talk to the director. I like the director very much. I like the script. So, you know, stop throwing rocks from the sidelines and get in there and try to do something positive.”

What we used to worry about: Nipplegate edition

They were the days!

Do you recall who played in Superbowl 2004? … George W. Bush was the leader of the war-torn world.. we were still cleaning up wreckage from Ground Zero.. back then we thought Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and yellowcake….


And Janet Jackson, for better or worse, exposed her breast during the Superbowl HalfTime Show with Justin Timberlake.
….the world went wild.
….CBS promised an investigation.
….the FCC fined…
….the world was aghast.

Years later we ponder if THAT was the worst thing that could have happened.

Here is a screen grab of NEWS from the ‘day after tomorrow’ from the AP courtesy of the WAYBACK machine:

Perhaps my favorite part:

Even halftime producer and CBS corporate Viacom cousin MTV – the network that broadcast Madonna kissing Britney Spears at last August’s MTV Awards – was contrite.
“Unrehearsed, unplanned, completely unintentional,” said MTV.
Although Timberlake issued a statement shortly after the show apologizing and blaming the debacle on a “wardrobe malfunction,” he didn’t seem too sorry in comments to the syndicated show “Access Hollywood.”
“Hey, man, we love giving you all something to talk about,” he said, laughing.
Jackson’s official Web site was bombarded with angry postings.

Ridiculous at best.

These were the worries of our times.
Simpler in nature. But somewhat still ancient in philosophy ..

Something things change.. some things don’t.
But I wonder today aloud, would a nipple provide as much danger today as it did then? …. Maybe we’ll find out this Sunday at the newest TIMBERLAKE Superbowl.
