One man’s mission to share with the world the fine art of cufflinks.
Each blog a different pair and each blog a different story. Read on in this series.....
Your scribe has a passion for all things aviation and aviation buildings such as airports and the like. Nothing in either of these fields can compare to the NASA Kennedy Space Centre in Cape Canaveral for sheer size and awesomeness. The scale of the launch pad and the hangar buildings for the shuttles and payload launch rockets is immense. The main building can house the Empire State Building and is one of the largest building structures in the world.
NASA Scientists say that they have discovered an earth like habitable planet that orbits a far away solar system some 600 light years away. In typical science manner they have dubbed this “planet” Kepler 22b. Your scribe is no mathematician but some rudimentary research reveals that if we packed up a space shuttle and headed off to have a look around Kepler in what is today’s rocket technology, we would get there in roughly 1,000,000 years….oh dear.
Artist impression Kepler 22b…………..“Nothing’s gonna change my world”…..Across the Universe: John Winston Lennon.
Your scribe has fond memories of the first lunar landing by Apollo 11….our generation is fixated with the question: where were you when JFK was shot? Where were you when man first walked on the moon? For the record it was Washington DC, watching it all on an old black and white TV.
I must send a cheerio to my old friend Dr Paul Scully Power AM, author of “Oceans to orbit. The story of Australia’s first man in space” No matter what anyone says, Paul was Australia’s first astronaut…..Today’s Link man from Space. Link man of our times arise Dr Paul Scully Power.
Today’s links were a gift to my Dad from the Chief of NASA, Thomas Paine back in 1969. Worn with Brooks Brothers cotton shirt and airplane motif Hermés silk tie.
Til tomorrow.
ONWARD
