Dream not of today...

"The human adventure is really just beginning" - Gene Roddenberry

Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

William Ernest Henley



I couldn't figure out how to get this Banner anywhere else, so here it is:

Who's ready for the convention; who's at least saving money and getting excited about it!? The only thing missing from my last convention experience, was not really knowing anyone ahead of time that I could hang out with and visit with while I was there. This time I hope to meet and chat and party with many of you; let me know if you're planning on attending; I'd love to meet you all...Any fan of Star Trek is a friend of mine.
Please sign this petition and help show support for NASA. Let's tell the government that there are still people out there who care about the future...

This is a view of the Space Shuttle Discovery; I'm planning to see it launch from Kennedy Space Center on or around March 18th (that's the target date for it right now.)

For my part I know nothing for certain, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.
-Vincent VanGogh

Our sun is one of 100 billion stars in our galaxy. Our galaxy is one of billions of galaxies populating the universe. It would be the height of presumption to think that we are the only living beings in that enormous immensity. -Wernher von Braun

This was so cool I decided to use it as my profile picture; I want the full size poster!
