Google Lunar




I don't know why these Space subjects appeal to me so much. Ever since I was a kid I've been fascinated with the idea of space exploration. I believe it to be one of the two last frontiers, for lack of a better word, left for us to explore. The being the worlds oceans. Take a look at this site. Google has teamed up with the Xprise to create a new space race. This one is for the first privately funded mission to the moon. Just robots for the time being. They also have a real intersting part to this to where the public can join in. It's called Lunar Legacy. You can put a picture of your family into one of the capsules that goes up, and it will set that image on the surface of the moon. Cool stuff :) Oh and don't forget to have a look at the one thing that has me really excited. I'm planning on booking a trip sometime in the future. Its a bit expensive, but I'm sure I can find a way. ;)

New Wallpaper Plans



I went to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science over the weekend. I went there to see the space odyssey exhibit and planetarium. It was a lot of fun. I have always been so fascinated by space and NASA. Well it gave me the idea for what I am going to do for my next wallpaper. This one I am going to be spending a lot of time on so it may take me a couple days. I am going to actually try and do some hardcore painting in it as. I'll have more on this soon. : )


Here is also a video I found on Google video about the moon landing. So awesome. : )

Virgin Galactic




Its still my dream to do this one day ; ) The most amazing way to experience our world. ; )

"Virgin Galactic plans to fly 500 passengers a year at about US$200,000 each, to an altitude of over 100 km, with a total weightless time of 7 minutes.
Only about 500 people have been off the planet and gained their astronaut wings since spaceflight began in the 1960s, and even fewer have orbited the Earth. Current commercial flights to space, provided by the Russian Space Agency, cost roughly US$20 million for a six-day orbital flight.[1]" ~ Wikipedia.org
