whitey on the moon

to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the moon landings, check out these amazing moon landing photos.

then for balance take a moment to read the political satire song by Gil-Scott Heron called Whitey on the Moon.

it does inspire me that we can go to the moon. quite an accomplishment and achievement, though the subtext of the project of super accurate ICBM missiles and space supremacy makes my stomach hurt. but we have the opportunity to apply that same ingenuity and resolve to all sorts of suffering in the world at any time. we’re pretty damn capable.
