Ludicrous speed ☀️
FRIDAY | 2.21.25
Some 50-odd years ago, a gentleman by the name of Charles Duke was blasted off into space. Mr. Duke was an astronaut by the way. They don’t just blast random people off into space as far as we know. And Charles Duke ain't no random dude. Spoiler: At the end of this intro, he turns out to be one of the most badass astronauts to come through the space academy. Mr. Duke had two goals going into his training. One, to set the record for the highest lunar jump. Second, to leave his family photo on the moon. The latter was easy enough and if you ever find yourself taking a stroll on the piece of Swiss cheese in the sky, you’d indeed come across a framed portrait of the Dukes — Charles, Tom, Dot, and Charles himself. Unfortunately, the moon jump wasn’t as successful. While he did make it two feet and eight inches off of the ground, the youngest astronaut ever in space also fell backward and landed on his astronaut gear but "A" for effort. That in mind, if anyone has a contact at NASA or SpaceX who might know how we can get a copy of The Cosmic Issue up there, we’re all ears. Blast off.
Keep it Cosmic
The Cosmic Issue has entered the universe. Filled with things like interviews with the only human to go both to space and the deepest part of the ocean, past lives with Dr. Brian Weiss, constellations 101, and a semi-official guide to aliens. Get your copy here. To the moon.
Raspberries and Rum
Back in 2013, scientists discovered that if we could catch a whiff of the Milky Way, it wouldn’t smell like milk at all — more along the lines of a mix of raspberries and rum, possibly with a splash of beer. Not a bad combo to try out on a Friday night in February — cheers to that.
Other Good News & Happenings
Maybe aliens, maybe Matthew McConaughey with a flashlight searching for his car keys in the middle of Texas. The world may never know.
Something to read: Many Lives, Many Masters by Dr. Brian Weiss.
The Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian presents: Star Stories.
Entering the weekend at ludicrous speed.
Love is two galaxies colliding in the shape of a heart — xoxo.
