"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Of course, July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong, the man (in?) on the moon.
I read and I get bored. It's been a great downfall in my life. The difference between A's and B's in school. Ok, bite me, the difference between B's and C's.
It's been many moons since 'we' have revisited the Moon. Over Fitty I think. Didn't we just talk 'fitty'?
Wiki done tells me "On 22 February, 2024, Intuitive Machine's Odysseus successfully landed on the Moon after taking off on a SpaceX Falcon 9 liftoff on 15 February 2024 in a mission between NASA, SpaceX, and Intuitive Machines, marking the United States' first soft unmanned moon landing in over 50 years. This event marked the first successful landing of a privately owned spacecraft on the Moon."
So.............................. so, one would think... with all dayum steps of innovation, technology, that stuff, the next Wiki paragraph might read like:
"So, private venture, Uncle Sam's bucks too, yada.. the Odysseus landed three days ago.. armed with a humongous 3D printer, a dash of AI, and the World's first Electric Bulldozer - the Grand Canyon replica was dug, Taj Mahal II built, and thanks to AI, the entire town of Scottsdale, Arizona is now up there on the big green cheese...the Suez Canal digitally reproduced, Noah's Ark too, animals, we got animals. EVERYWHERE. Watch your step. Steps.. we've done taken these strides, steps to current day, yep. That's what happened."
But..................... nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I turned the channel to FOX, or was it CNN, I forget.. anyways:
"The lunar landing was not an ideal 'soft landing', it's presently leaning at a 30 degree angle, it's believed one of the landing foot struts broke off.. it's resting on an oxygen tank that's strapped on the outside of the main fuselage and since the antennas are not vertically lined, transmissions have been reduced."
I call BS (That's short for........ well, you know)....
Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I turned the dayum TV off... went to regular ole regular radio (NPR... in fact, the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth) and learned.......
"Much of the explanation from the moon back to the US is pure conjecture. What (we believe) really happened (transmissions reduced) is that Elon Musk's Mastercard was compromised, he cancelled his card, then, the day before the lunar landing, his T-Mobile auto pay was rejected, he forgot to let them know the new number, expiration date, 3 digit thingy, yada... thus, they cut him (and all communication) off."
And you................. you there................ you thought this would be a remarkable motivation blog due to the MLK quote up there huh?
Well... sometimes there in life Senor', gump happens. Right Forrest? Penny for your thoughts Edsel? Johnny Football, RG3, The Boz.. right? Besides that, how was the Play Mrs. Lincoln?
Beyonce was 9 when her all girls band LOST on Star Search. Devastation. In 1827 Charles Darwin DROPPED OUT of Med School.. leading his father to say, “You care for nothing but shooting, dogs and rat catching.”... Einstein, hearda him? He didn't even talk until he was FOUR. Age 16, failed to pass the entrance exam into the Swiss Federal Polytechnic school.
Age 26, Dave Ramsey filed for bankruptcy. WHAT?
Steps. Steps baby. MC Hammer grew up in the shadows of the Oakland Coliseum. Found, sold baseballs. Became the A's bat boy. Reggie himself called him "Hammer" due to his resemblance of Hank Aaron. You know the rest eh? Thanks to an incredible entertainment career, he (stepped) worked his way up to over $33 MILLION...later, luxuries, supporting fam, friends, found himself in debt for $13 MIL, filed bankruptcy. (You can't touch this. Uh huh, they did.)
I reckon, the point being.............. When you're weary, Feeling small, When tears are in your eyes.. no, that ain't it, but, you get the drift eh?
Sometimes life just plain sucks. Gump happens. We've all stepped in it. Pew. Remember that smell as a kid? You stepped in it. It FOLLOWS you in the house. WORSE than liver'n onions, BO, bad breath, a wet hound pooch.
One can plan. Denote. Annote. Take all the (seemingly) right steps.. (even 2 step a tad)... and the bottom falls out. (Ask a plumber, he'll explain.)
I have no idea why I did ANY of the above.
I promise, I'll take steps to do better into the future.
Step on it James, I'm late for my pedi.
Oh, I'm sorry ma'am.. do they still stink?
Love, Victurd
