A week ago, the MESSENGER spacecraft transmitted to here the first high-resolution image of Mercury by a spacecraft in over 30 years, since the three Mercury flybys of Mariner 10 in 1974 and 1975.
.
MESSENGER’s Wide Angle Camera (WAC), part of the Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS), is equipped with 11 narrow-band color filters, in contrast to the two visible-light filters and one ultraviolet filter that were on Mariner 10’s vidicon camera.
.
By combining images taken through different filters in the visible and infrared, the MESSENGER data allow Mercury to be seen in a variety of high-resolution color views not previously possible.
.
The navigation team is lead by KinetX, Inc. of Tempe, AZ. KinetX is the first private company to be responsible for navigation of a NASA deep space mission.

Harks to me of the Dutch East Indies ventures – discover, take control, plunder . But how many governments have that sorta cash? Well if they weren’t too busy fighting stoopid wars…”

Alobar

i’ve been sitting on this for a coupla days now, so please bear with me .

.

i don’t know who reads this stuff i’m putting out here …

. . .

i’ve been trying to (discretely) place (relevant) hotlinks onto the web – here & there – you know, as you do …

trying to raise the profile of the site a bit – trying to get some people reading it, trying to get a comment outa someone, anyone .

.

on the 20th January on the ‘Wikipedia fails’ post , i get a comment .

.

i have no idea who ‘cheesecake’ is . i have no idea why they are so angry with my opinion . to me they are a faceless, asexual, cloud of hate that has been spat my way .

.

i’d like to believe we live on a planet where we can trust, listen, understand, care, love each other . i’m obviously miles out there – we all know aggression happens all around us – thankfully its usually via a video feed . but when it does happen to you, wow – you gotta ask why .
.
maybe this is where the fate / influence equation breaks down .

maybe us humans are always destined to hold onto our animal agro – a method of survival .

.

but this isn’t survival, this is self-destruction .
.

bah, who knows – i sure don’t .

the Wikipedia main page has a section on ‘In The News’ .

.

I T N contains recent events that have happened – plane crashes – discoveries – deaths .

.

Bobby Fischer – the Chess player – died recently and was included on the list … a few days ago Sir Ed was not .
.

wikipedia is by the people, for the people – including people.. here in NZ – people in Nepal – people you, people me .

.

my point being is why Sir Ed – a hero to millions – can be deemed un-includable while Mr. Fischer is includable .

.

No offence to Mr. Fischer’s memory – i’m sure he was a brilliant man who truely believed in what he felt inside .

.

for me personally ? I feel a bit let down that Ed, the great great man, has no ‘notability’ in such a historic record .

.

There are certain criteria that obituaries should meet to make ITN . Sir Ed’s failure was the lack of an ‘unexpected death’ – while Mr. Fischer – at the young age of 64 – met these .

.

.

.

.

meanwhile, my solace lies in the fact that Sir Ed, the person who ‘knocked the bastard off’, would not have given a shit .

your life is a ratio between fate & influence … i discovered this while fishing over the break .
.
…… . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
.
some things belong in the book bag of entropy – the undeterminable, the unforseen, like lotto numbers, like cars crossing centre lines into your path
.
…. .. . . . . . . .
.
also in there are the books we write – the determinable, the decisions we make, the numbers we pick, the people we hurt
.
…. . . . . . .. . . .
.
fate & influence

there must be a ratio equation in there somewhere. .. . . . .
