Star Trek-Battlestar Galactica-Stargate fans ARE NOT fans of science fiction.
As with any religion, is mostly about LAZINESS.
Dullard dim-wits who want to escape along the easiest path that gets them out of ANY work.
As with religion, no independent thinking. Masses not better
So I'm sure as hell not SELLING them any real stories of exploiting technology that is not only beyond their dullard dim-wit comprehension, but BEYOND their dim-witted intellectual curiosity.
The masses are not inspired.
The masses only resent.
They're monkeys.

My second Christmas in a homeless shelter and they hand out these gifts to homeless people to, I guess, make them feel less like the forgotten people. For me, it just serves as a reminder of how forgotten am I.

I have memories of details about this disaster but I am not certain what is the source of those memories. As I was reading about it again just now, I was wondering if this was an air disaster that has been lingering in my mind for a long time but I am not certain if this is the one. Something has been lingering in my mind about a civilian passenger jet that was similar to the DC-10, or that was a DC-10, where the pilot was pulled from the nose section of the aircraft some time after the crash had occurred and no one had thought to look in that section, which had broken off from the rest of the aircraft. I think he was the only survivor in that section.
from 10/11/1968 to 2/24/1992 divided by 2 equals 3/3/1959 to 11/8/1970.

I wrote earlier about how that track "New Moon On Monday" makes me think it reflects the final flight to Earth's Moon with Apollo 17. Apollo 17 landed on the Moon on 12/11/1972, which was a Monday. But it also made me think of 6/7/1976. That is the day I recognize as when I landed on the Saturn moon Phoebe. I have been thinking that "New Moon On Monday" was Apollo 17 because that was a new trip to the Earth's Moon. But 6/7/1976 was a visit to a different moon, and during that mission, was the first visit I made to any moon. My first stop was at Mars, which is a planet. And then the Jupiter moon Callisto was the next new moon after Phoebe, but that wasn‘t a Monday. Those lyrics and sound effects make me think the song represents several trips and that it includes Apollo 17 and the Jupiter moon Phoebe.
The clues got even more interesting as I continued to examine the details, and I realized that "New Moon On Monday" also pointed to Apollo 8, which was the first time humans had orbited the Earth‘s Moon.
And it is all anchored to Phoebe Cates birthday. She was obviously quite special to me.
From 7/16/1963 to 6/7/1976 is: 4710 days
From 6/7/1976 to 11/21/1983 is: 2723 days
4710 - 2723 = 1987
From 7/16/1963 to 12/23/1968 is: 1987 days

DURAN DURAN LYRICS
"New Moon On Monday"
Shake up the picture the lizard mixture
With your dance on the eventide
You got me coming up with answers
All of which I deny
I said it again
Could I please rephrase it
Maybe I can catch a ride
I couldn't really put it much plainer
But I'll wait till you decide
Send me your warning siren
As if I could ever hide
Last time La Luna
[CHORUS]
I light my torch and wave it for the
New moon on Monday
And a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite
Breaking away with the best of both worlds
A smile that you can't disguise
Every minute I keep finding
Clues that you leave behind
Save me from these reminders
As if I'd forget tonight
This time La Luna
[CHORUS]

Couldn't Fly by 'Book,' Pilot of DC-10 Recalls
July 26, 1989 ERIC HARRISON Times Staff Writer
SIOUX CITY, Iowa — When the tail engine exploded on United Airlines Flight 232, Capt. Alfred C. Haynes shut the engine down while second officer Dudley Dvorak got out the procedure book.
No one on the DC-10 knew exactly what had happened, but the flight crew hoped the book would tell them what they should do next.
"It was very shortly after that that we concluded we had more than an engine failure," Haynes said Tuesday in his first talk with reporters since the crash last Wednesday. "It was apparent to us that we had lost all our hydraulic fluids."
'There Isn't One'
"When I asked Dudley what was the procedure for that he said: 'There isn't one,' " Haynes recalled. "So we made one up as we went along."
Using such calm, matter-of-fact language, the Paris, Tex., native explained publicly for the first time what happened during the 41-minute ordeal, during which he guided the crippled plane to a fiery landing in Sioux City. One hundred and eleven people died, but 185 survived the crash.
Investigators have said the flight crew brought the plane in largely by alternating thrusts from the two remaining engines. For some reason, the pilot was unable to make left turns after the engine exploded. Haynes would not answer questions in detail because the National Transportation Safety Board still has not finished its investigation.
The 57-year-old Haynes said he never feared for his life as the plane approached the runway.
Nor was he concerned that the plane might not make it to Sioux City after it became apparent that they could not reach Chicago, their scheduled destination.
"I honestly didn't think about it," he said. "We were going to try to go on there and land, and that's what we tried to do."
If the crew had believed that they weren't going to make it, he said, "we couldn't have operated."
The pilot's face and head still bore small bruises and scabs from the crash. He had a tiny bandage on the bridge of his nose.
Haynes said he lost consciousness in the crash. When he came to his senses, he was pinned in the cockpit, unable to move.
"I said to myself, don't hyperventilate, and wait for somebody to come," he recounted.
Asked what happened next, he said: "Somebody came."
Haynes and second officer Dvorak, 51, both in wheelchairs, met with reporters upon their release from the Marian Health Center here, shortly before they and their families boarded a Lear jet for a non-stop flight to Seattle, where they both live.
The former Marine pilot is being hailed as a hero for his professionalism, which helped so many to survive.
He smiled when a reporter mentioned this.
"There is no hero," he said. "There's just a group of four people who did their jobs. It was an unusual circumstance, but we put our knowledge together and did what we thought best."
The three-man flight crew was assisted during the ordeal by Dennis Fitch, 47, an off-duty United pilot who happened to be on the flight. He knelt on the cockpit floor between the other pilots and operated the engine throttles.
"Fitch was a member of our crew," Haynes said. "We became a four-man crew instead of a three-man crew."
The other member of the flight crew was first officer William R. Records, 49, who Haynes said was at the controls when the explosion occured. Records and Fitch both remain in the hospital.
"Everyone either helped in running the airplane or flying the airplane or doing the many, many radio reports that were required," Haynes said. "Everybody kicked in . . .. Everybody agreed as a group to agree among ourselves before anything was done. And that was, I think, an important part of our survival."
Haynes had kind words for the air traffic controllers who guided the flight crew in for the landing and for the ground rescue personnel and residents of Sioux City who offered help.
"Thank you for your compassion, for your caring and for your loving concern," he said.
"This is a happy day for many of us," Haynes said at the start of the press conference. "We must not forget that 111 people perished in the crash.
"This crew and in fact the entire industry are dedicated to finding out the cause of this accident so that it may never happen again."
Haynes said that before last week he had never had major engine trouble during a flight. He had had what he termed "minor" problems with the engine and hydraulic systems, but they always were corrected before the plane left the airport, he said.
Asked if he had developed a fear of flying because of the crash, the pilot chuckled. "I'm flying home today," he said. "And I can't wait to get back to work."

I think it was my first thought after waking up this morning that I used to date Julia Roberts a long time ago.
I also have these unexplained thoughts that I was a fighter pilot in the U.S. military, although I'm not sure which service, but I may have been in two different branches over time. I am also confused about thoughts that I may have been a helicopter pilot. What's next? A space shuttle pilot? Seems like a lot for someone that is only 40. And, while I am not sure when this divergence happened, I am reasonably certain it was before I turned 33. So I must have been a pretty busy guy. Especially because I have thoughts that I was some kind of mathmetician too. I have these thoughts too that I was captured by enemy forces at some point and tortured while in captivity.

In the book Profiles of the Future (1962) he looks at the probable shape of tomorrow's world. In this book he states his three Laws: 1."When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong." 2."The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible." 3."Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

There was that dream I had the other night, where I was inside a missile. I remembered today the similarity with this movie, in that Cochrane converted an ICBM into his warp ship. But why would someone create a connection between me and Cochrane? I didn't create warp drive in the past only to have someone block my memory of that, did I? It's funny, when I read something the other day about Data arguing with Einstein, it reminded me of something I was writing in my journal back in the early '90s. I was wondering why it was impossible to travel faster than the speed of light. A couple years ago I was writing about it again. The idea presented itself to me about why it was impossible, something about atoms not being able to work because electrons could not transfer energy faster than the speed of light. I wondered if it was possible to create some kind of process to transfer energy to those atoms, not unlike a cell's mitochondria works. Today I have been wondering if anything I remember about the past is real. Do I have a different past? Am I really who I think I am? The stuff I imagine happening to me sometimes, did that stuff really happen? I wonder if these movies and tv shows have actually been sort of inoculations, to keep me from questioning my reality. I do question reality sometimes, but it wasn't until I saw that Matrix movie a while back, did I really start to wonder about reality. But it didn't seem to matter, I wasn't overly concerned that I may be living that kind of false reality. I still don't think I am living such an extreme unreality as in the Matrix, but I wonder if there is a divergence point in my life, a shadow, a distorted period. Or have I been living a life like in the movie Soldier, or maybe like in Blade Runner, where Rachael, and I assume Harrison Ford's character, have false memories of their life. Am I Harrison Ford's character in this reality? A replicant searching for replicants? I haven't been able to follow Battlestar Galactica this past year, but I think that theme is showing up there, with Chief Tyrol.
