EPA Official: S-sir, I'm afraid you've gone mad with power...

Russ Cargill: Of course I have. You ever tried going mad without power? It's boring. No one listens to you!

:37:36
Oh, boy. Hope I can sleep.

:37:38
Mom, that was loud.

:37:40
Here, hold my hand.

:37:43
I can't believe
you did this four times.

:37:46
The worst part's over.

:37:47
It is?

:37:49
Listen, this doesn't stop for me
until he lands on that aircraft carrier.

:37:54
Well, you just look
so calm about it.

:37:56
If the flight surgeon had to okay me
for this mission, I'd be grounded.

:38:00
Mrs. Lovell! Mrs. Haise!
Can we speak to you?

:38:03
Can we just have
a word with you?

:38:05
Remember, you're proud,
happy and thrilled.

:38:07
Mrs. Lovell!

:38:09
'- How're ya feeling?
'- Well, very proud...

:38:12
and very happy,
and we're thrilled.

Coming up now on three minutes
until time of drogue deployment.

2:01:26
Bill, what time you got?

2:01:28
Standing by for any reports
of acquisition.

2:01:35
One minute and 30 seconds
to end of blackout.

2:01:44
No reentering ship
has ever taken longer...

2:01:46
than three minutes
to emerge from blackout.

2:01:49
This is the critical moment.
Will the heat shield hold?

2:01:52
Will the command module survive
the intense heat of reentry?

2:01:56
If it doesn't,
there'll only be silence.

2:01:59
'- Mommy, you're squishing me.
'- Oops, sorry, sweetie.

2:02:02
It's okay.

2:02:19
Okay, Flight,
that's three minutes.

2:02:21
'- We are standing by for acquisition.
'- Copy that.

Expected time of reacquisition,

2:02:34
the time when the astronauts were
expected to come out of blackout,

2:02:37
has come and gone.

2:02:41
About all any of us can do now
is just listen and hope.

2:02:45
We're about to learn whether
or not that heat shield,

2:02:48
which was damaged
by the explosion three days ago,

2:02:50
has withstood
the inferno of reentry.

We would zig zag our way through the boredom and pain
Occasionally glancing up through the rain
Wondering which of the buggers to blame
And watching for pigs on the wing.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_Quigley

Joan Quigley (born April 10, 1927), of San Francisco, is an astrologer best known for her astrological advice to the Reagan White House in the 1980s.





http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrologer

An astrologer practices one or more forms of astrology. Typically an astrologer draws a horoscope for the time of an event, such as a person's birth, and interprets celestial points and their placements at the time of the event to better understand someone, determine the auspiciousness of an undertaking's beginning, etc. However, the methods employed by astrologers are variable and depend on the particular astrological tradition they employ and the information desired. In the far past, the role often entailed astronomical observation or manual calculation of celestial phenomena. In more modern times, however, these methods have largely been replaced by pre-calculated ephemerides and astrological software.

Astrologers are sometimes known as astrologists. Historically the term mathematicus was used to denote a person proficient in astrology, astronomy, and mathematics

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Lovell

Missions Gemini 7, Gemini 12, Apollo 8, Apollo 13

James "Jim" Arthur Lovell, Jr., (born March 25, 1928) is a former NASA astronaut, most famous as the commander of Apollo 13, which suffered an explosion enroute to the Moon but was brought back safely to Earth by the efforts of the crew and mission control. Lovell was also the command module pilot of Apollo 8, the first Apollo mission to enter lunar orbit. Lovell is a recipient of the Congressional Space Medal of Honor and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.


NASA experience

Lovell was the backup pilot for Gemini 4, and his first spaceflight was as pilot of Gemini 7 in December 1965, which was the first flight to spend a fortnight in space, and also conducted the first space rendezvous with Gemini 6A. Lovell was originally scheduled to be the backup commander of Gemini 10, but after the deaths of Elliott See and Charles Bassett, he became backup commander of Gemini 9A, and in November 1966 made his second flight into space as commander of Gemini 12. After these two flights, Lovell had spent more time in space than any other human.

He was then made command module pilot on the backup crew for Apollo 9 with Neil Armstrong (Commander) and Buzz Aldrin (Lunar Module Pilot). He later replaced Michael Collins, the original command module pilot on the Apollo 9 prime crew, when Collins needed to have surgery for a bone spur on his spine. Shortly afterward the Apollo 8 and Apollo 9 crews swapped places in the flight schedule due to the re-assignment of Apollo 8 as a solo lunar orbital flight and delays in construction of the Lunar Module. Along with Frank Borman and William Anders, Lovell flew on Apollo 8 in December 1968, the first manned mission to travel to the Moon.

Lovell was backup commander of Apollo 11 and was scheduled to command Apollo 14, but he and his crew swapped missions with the crew of Apollo 13, as it was felt the commander of the other crew, Alan Shepard, needed more time to train after being grounded for a long period. On April 11, 1970, Lovell took off on Apollo 13 with Fred Haise and Jack Swigert, planning to land on the Moon along with Haise. But on April 13, while in Earth-Moon transit, a damaged stir coil in a cryogenic oxygen tank sparked during a routine tank stir. This in turn triggered an explosion that crippled the Command Module "Odyssey." Venting oxygen from the damaged system, the vessel quickly lost most of both its breathable air supply and its electrical system, which was fed by fuel cells that used oxygen as a reactant.

JOURNAL ARCHIVE: 03/17/08 8:50 PM

I just woke up a few minutes ago from I guess about 5 or 6 hours of sleep. I still feel exhausted. I am now wondering of the series of scenes and images in one dream was actually a representation of my flight into space as the commander of the first space shuttle launch.


JOURNAL ARCHIVE: 03/17/08 8:54 PM

There dream, though, seemed to be set on the USS Oliver Hazard Perry FFG-7. I am not certain how I linked that setting to FFG-7 but I am certain I was on a FFG-7 class ship and the notion lingers in my mind that it was the FFG-7.

In a somewhat confusing part, I walked out of a room with two people in it, where a junior person was getting a medal, for someone reason, as I was looking on, onto the weatherdeck. The person who had got the medal, which was a medal I can visualize but that I do not recognize, followed out onto the deck, I think. I can still visualize the calm blue water and also looking out onto the shore and the sky line of some city we were near but that I cannot recognize either after waking up. I do remember that I commented to the other person that I enjoyed being back out to sea, and I feel compelled to note that I might have said to him that I enjoyed especially being out to sea when we we just floating around, as we were then. Then, for some strange reason, I was over the edge of the deck and I was hanging onto the low railing, trying to keep myself from falling over into the water. But the gravity was strange and that might be why that part seems weird, in retrospect of the dream. I almost want to say that my feet were drifting upwards instead of downwards towards the ocean. I cannot remember what happened next. On one hand, it seems understand that I was hanging onto that railing but I am also somewhat baffled, as I ponder the dream after waking up, why I was even hanging from that railing in the first place.

In another dream sequence, I was on small boat and that sequence is, I think, connected to that first sequence about FFG-7. It seems we had taken a small boat closer to shore but I cannot remember any details to support that notion. I can still visualize some of the scenery but I do not understand it all very well. I do remember another small boat passing us by and I am quite certain that Camilla, Duchess of York, was on it. There is some other detail associated with that observation that I cannot now remember. I can remember there were other people on the boat with her and I assume Prince Charles was there also. Back on my boat, I was talking about some kind of cove that was in the lake or ocean we were on and there seemed to be something important about that cove, in that I wanted to go in there but I don't think we did in that dream. I remember I was trying to describe certain details of that cove to the other person as they would see it while approaching the cove. At another point, I told someone that I could not remember when I learned to swim. I made some other comments on that topic that I do not remember now.

I also remember something, vaguely, about Iceland, maybe. Something related to flying aircraft. Perhaps I was stationed at some point as a pilot in Iceland. I remember hearing some comments about someone's skills as an aircraft pilot. I remember something about looking at an aircraft runway and seeing the remains of the de-icer material they use. This all seemed to happen as I was sitting on the boat and I could actually see those other locations, such as the runway and the office, while I was in another far away location. That might be the result of remembering a past experience while having a dream. Something like that. A memory within a memory. I also remember sitting there in that boat that I was holding some kind of award plaque but I cannot remember what was writting on that award plaque. I think the award plaque had been given to Jim Lovell but I am not certain what that means. I can still visualize certain words on it but I cannot remember enough to describe those words. I remember that some letters were missing in the words.
