Know what these are? Go ahead, guess.
Give up? They’re topographical maps of the moon, created in a collaboration between NASA and the US Geological Survey. I can’t get over how crazy beautiful they are. There are more here, super hi-res.

I might get some of these professionally printed.

Sailors alight from blood-hued seas They’re welcomed in, those foolish men, They jest at Him, my death machine. With brutal lash of shiv and flame
regaling me with symphonies
of skull and flesh and tragedies…
of lust and murder foul.
more fiendish brutes than gentlemen.
They chortle-snort at His wretched pen,
a prison of wire and sprowl.
Their feeble forms are so pristine.
Detach, at once, from the teat you wean!
And quake at the Minion’s howl.
He strikes at them with seething bane.
Their souls sent back from whence they came,
and their bodies decay in His jowls.

I don’t understand about complementary colors But he’s been pretty much yellow
And what they say
Side by side they both get bright
Together they both get gray
And I’ve been kinda blue
But all I can see is
Red, red, red, red, red now
What am I gonna do

You looked as sincere as a dog
Just as sincere as a dog does,
When it’s the food on your lips with which it’s in love

Space Activity Suit
Since the 1960s, NASA has also investigated spacesuits that utilize mechanical pressure rather than pressurized gas to protect an astronaut. Such a “space activity suit” is essentially an allover skin-tight leotard, which would be very lightweight and provide far less impediments to motion than traditional spacesuits. As well, a small tear in the suit would only affect the area exposed by the hole rather than cause a potentially deadly decompression event. The only area of the suit that would need to be pressurized is the astronaut’s helmet.
