Also, Moon rockets are only really interesting with James and Pat commentating.

@loosenut
The first nine times were quite fun, but I was rather small at the time and had no concept of the political wank involved in making it happen. This time, during the death throws of the US, it all seems a bit pointless. But hey, it's big firey rocket - yay.

Not long to go now for lunar astronauts numbers 28, 29, 30 & 31.
Fun fact: this mission will carry the first inheritable mitochondrial DNA to fly around the Moon.

Apollo 18 (aka 'Artemis II') - the TENTH manned rocket to travel beyond the Moon - carrying the 28th to 31st humans to do so launches TODAY at 11:24PM BST.
(Well, that's the plan anyway.)

All sorts of interesting flags and artifacts will fly to the Moon on Artemis II

NASA's first astronauts to launch to the moon in more than 50 years will pay tribute to the lunar and space exploration missions that preceded them.

This week's Thursday Five List has a theme of "The Shortest Songs."

Since I haven't done this in a while, I'm going to do all They Might Be Giants songs.

How about them fingertips.

@blackcoat I mean who wouldn't want to roll to latch on to a purrgil about to make a jump to hyperspace, with a Jedi player character able to communicate with it to request a specific destination?

OK, I got ideas for next session. Thanks. Hee hee.

This week's Tune Tuesday, the first of 2024 from @Kitty, has a theme from @derthomas of "Keep It Going" - i.e. songs that are just too short.

Well, it's me. So, it's going to be They Might Be Giants.

On their album Apollo 18, TMBG dropped a series of mini-songs called "Fingertips." Each song fragment was more interesting than the next making you want them to make a full song for...any of them.

Check them out here: https://songwhip.com/they-might-be-giants/fingertips
