Number 878: The Farthest Man From Home

Funny story to begin this note. Meaningless unless you're following along here and trying to understand me
A completely random observation I was not expecting to see
In the distance on a screen, was not sure what I was seeing
Finally understood it was an episode of that "The Handsmaid Tales"
Never viewed any of the episodes. Have read summaries of it
Seemed to be a sort of simulated sex scene. Two people visibly clothed.
My patterns are completely unpredictable. Impossible anyone could have known I would be at a place to see that at that exact moment. Only that scene makes sense.
This part is completely separate from the reason that caused me to make this note and it is just something I wanted to include
When you are a heroic astronaut then being a heroic astronaut is the easy part.
I read that article a couple times and it makes me think.
Annoys me that anyone wants to bring up religion as a serious topic.
You should JUST AS EASILY scoff about any form of religion as you would scoff about the ridiculousness of little green men from Mars, or any such UFO-bunk.
Religion is mass-hysteria.
People are cowardly terrified of mortality and the clergy - with their circular-reasoning theology - are predators indoctrinating those gullible and naive.
Religion is absolutely immoral.
One problem with that article is that you don't know really anything that he wanted to use his credibility for
Was he financially compensated? Whose message is it actually?
If that guy wants to step into the fray and try to competently understand this research of my original-work then I say: Bring it on.
Think up something by himself and team that is constructive and that I have not already thought of these past 20 years I have labored on this
Got to be a code-word is all I can guess. Only a key-word that I must hear or read that becomes my salvation from being repressed as I am (and probably since the 1970s)
I have absolutely no way of proving conspiracy
Are they trying to discover conspiracy as it relates to him personally?
I made a very convincing argument and I can only guess that has got them interested in this problem.
Who am I to second-guess that astronaut's methods? That's what I think when I read that article again.

NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman touched after chaplain’s visit

(NewsNation) — NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman said his historic mission around the moon may have changed his personal perspective on faith and God.
“I’m not a religious person,” Reid recounted at a press conference after Artemis II returned to Earth. “But there was just no avenue to explain anything or to experience anything. So I asked for the chaplain on the Navy ship to come to visit us for a minute. And when that man walked in, I’ve never met the man in my life, I saw the cross on his collar, and I broke down in tears.”
Wiseman served as commander of Artemis II, which completed the first human flight to the moon in over 50 years. The crew, comprised of Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Canada’s Jeremy Hansen, traveled farther from Earth than any humans ever: over 250,000 miles. The mission reestablished humanity’s ability to operate in deep space.
Since their return, the astronauts have been reflecting on their experience and its impact on them both professionally and personally.
Wiseman thanked his fellow crewmen and highlighted their unity as a team.
“This was an unbelievable adventure. And it was made possible by this crew and the support of each other throughout the whole thing,” he said. “We are bonded forever.”
Wiseman describes experience as “otherworldly”
Wiseman said he and his crew still have not had time to decompress and reflect on the mission.
“It’s very hard to fully grasp what we went through,” he said.
Artemis astronaut Victor Glover reminds Americans of ‘most important’ mystery on Earth
But there were poignant moments when the astronauts realized the magnitude of the mission.
“When the sun eclipsed behind the moon, I think all four of us. I turned to Victor, and I said, ‘I don’t think humanity has evolved to the point of being able to comprehend what we were looking at right now, because it was otherworldly, and it was amazing,” said Wiseman.
Wiseman emotional after naming moon crater for his late wife
Another significant moment for Wiseman came when he and his crew asked permission to name one small, fresh crater after his late wife, Carroll, who died of cancer in 2020.
“Just for me personally, that was kind of the pinnacle moment of the mission for me,” Wiseman said from space during the mission.
‘Something deeper’: Young Americans drawn to Catholic faith
After a successful 10-day mission, Artemis II splashed down off San Diego on April 11.
The astronauts were reportedly in good health as they began to emerge from the stabilized capsule around 8:30 p.m. CT before being individually airlifted to the USS John P. Murtha, where they were expected to undergo medical exams.
“We are back in the business of sending astronauts to the Moon,” NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said.

AND never forget the true meaning of Christmas: SUPERSTITION!
by me, Kerry Wayne Burgess, 2025
by me, Kerry Burgess: Any "God" is mere superstition. You do not have an Imaginary Friend "up there" in the clouds. You do not have an Imaginary Friend that can hear your thoughts as you plead and beg with Him to not hurt you again. Do not believe the lies told to you by any clergy peddling their bunk. "Faith" is meaningless word that is merely their marketing-buzzword because they know you're gullible and naive and you cannot think for yourself and you stopped reading this after the first few words.

Devil (2010)
I guess I know why today I was suddenly compelled to purchase a new toaster. Last year, my apartment flooded due to a fire sprinkler line that froze and burst, they tell me, and I threw away my toaster because all that crap from the apartment's above was streaming out throughout the ceiling. I used that toaster just about every day but I did not feel like replacing it all during this past year. Until today. Today I was suddenly compelled to purchase a new toaster and so I did. I wanted to pick up some other stuff but no, only the toaster. The toaster would be the only item on the electronic transaction I generated with my bank card because without the electronic transaction then it "wouldn't count" whatever that means. So just one hour before I went to see this film I bought a new toaster and I had it with me in my backpack after I sat down in the theatre to watch this film.

As compelled as I was to purchase a new toaster and to have an electronic transaction with only the toaster as an item on that transaction, I was equally compelled to go see that film as it premieres today in the theatre. There was no choice about it. I had to go see it today. I had been planning since last night to see it today. The decision to pick up the new toaster was something that I started thinking of maybe this morning. I can't remember when I started thinking of it other than it was something in the past day or day and a half. I had been awake all night and I took a short nap early in the morning and I don't remember if I started thinking about the toaster before that or after I woke up. But since I started thinking of it, this scene has played over many times in my mind since then.

Ramirez: [voiceover] When I was a child, my mother would tell me a story about how the Devil roams the Earth. Sometimes, she said, he would take human form so he could punish the damned on Earth before claiming their souls. The ones he chose would be gathered together and tortured as he hid amongst them, pretending to be one of them. I always believed my mother was telling me an old wives' tale.

CARTER
Well she lived on a planet called Kheb and she helped people ascend to a higher plane of existence.
ORLIN
That's why I've never heard of her. She was probably banished, like me.
CARTER
What for?
ORLIN
Breaking one of the most sacred rules of our kind: Do not accelerate the natural ascension process of those beneath. The humans of Velona were under attack from the Goa'uld. I was prohibited from interfering, but I couldn't just watch them die.
CARTER
You told them how to build the weapon.
ORLIN
Communicated the knowledge, yes. They saved themselves.
CARTER
But not for long.
ORLIN
No.
CARTER
Well, you were right to try.
ORLIN
You're wrong. It was a horrible mistake.
CARTER
So what happened?
ORLIN
The others.
CARTER
The others of your kind destroyed the planet? Well, they interfered too, isn't that breaking their own rule.
ORLIN
As a collective, they decided it was necessary to prevent a disaster that I was responsible for. I was forced to live on Velona after that as my punishment.
CARTER
You couldn't have known.
ORLIN
That's why the rule exists.
CARTER
So. What now?
ORLIN
I'm human. Mortal, like you. I can never go back to the way I was without the others.

Whoa. You've been busy.
ORLIN
I didn't think they'd let me go back to Velona through their Stargate.
CARTER
So you built one?
ORLIN
Sort of. This won't dial multiple addresses and will only create a wormhole once and probably burn out.
CARTER
And you ordered the materials on line.
ORLIN
Mostly. Sorry, but you're going to have a pretty big credit card bill this month. Oh, and you're going to need a new toaster.
12/30/08 3:46 AM
I had a dream just before I woke up a few hours ago but that I don't remember too well now because I did not feel compelled to note it until just now. I started thinking about it again just now, as I did for a while after waking up from it, because I was trying to fall asleep for a nap and I rememembered a detail from the dream that might be some kind of reference to the ending of a "Simpsons" episode.
The ending of "The Old Man And The Lisa" has some distinct similarities to the 1956 film "The Invasion of the Body Snatchers" and it makes me also think of the second sequel "Body Snatchers."
In my dream, I had been in a building somewhere and I remember two distinct parts where I was on an elevator. I can't remember it too well now. I do remember an old woman asked me my name, after we had left an area with some other people and I do not remember that part well enough now to describe but I do remember some kind of sense, whether inferred in the dream or whether I was actually told this detail in the dream, that she was prostitute. I told her my name was Leo.
That might be the part where I left the elevator as soon as the door opened and after it closed, I realized I was on the wrong floor. It seems I was on the 10th floor and I was trying to get to the 3rd floor.
12/31/08 4:38 PM
I had another dream about being on an elevator for a brief time and I ponder over that because it is becoming a recurring element of my dream. I cannot now remember a lot of detail about the dream but I think it again was a dream about not getting to the floor I wanted to go to. I still remember certain details such as pressing the button and looking up to see the floor level indicator.
01/13/08 3:39 AM
I had a dream that seemed to be just a few minutes before I just now woke up. In the dream, I was flying a jet aircraft and I think it was an F/A-18 Hornet and there were at least 2 other Hornet's flying with me. There were a lot of very clear details about the dream that I cannot articulate very well. The dream overall seemed unimportant, or at least, I cannot figure out what it was all supposed to be about. At one point, I was very certain that the date was 10/9/2004, but that might have changed. I find myself thinking that I also visualized an '11' but I don't know what that means. In the dream, there were people watching me somehow and that had something to do with my flying. Something about another persons brother, which was me, and that I was flying a jet aircraft. I can distinctly visualize sitting in the jet aircraft and operating the controls and reading the instruments. I clearly remember that I stomped on the left foot pedal for a snap roll and that I was disappointed with my lack of precision in that manuever. At some point in the dream, I seemed to have the objective of flying over someone that was on a highway somewhere. I think that person I was supposed to fly over was Lily Jang. I don't know why that was supposed to happen. She was on a highway somewhere and I was supposed to fly by her. It was dark for most, if not all, of the dream. There were other details in the dream that seem unimportant and that I cannot figure out how to articulate.
01/13/08 3:59 AM
The date 10/11/2004 was when Duran Duran "Astronaut" released. I felt certain after waking up that I had seen the date 10/9/2004 but I wondered also why the '11' was lingering in my mind. I don't know.
01/13/08 4:01 AM
There was also an element in that dream, I think at the point where I was supposed to do the fly-by of Lily Jang, that I realized I had let myself gain too much altitude. I think I was having trouble by that time with reading the instrument panel, because it all had become sort of blurry, and I didn't realize I had been drifting upwards for too long. I am not certain what I did after that point but I can recall vaguely that I was still flying.
01/13/08 4:04 AM
I can still sort of visualize the lights on the highway and other reference points I used to navigate my way along to the point I was supposed to fly over.
01/13/08 4:05 AM
I didn't seem to gain a tremendous amount of altitude, so I don't know what that means. I would say that I might have gained 100 feet of altitude, which seems unimportant for that kind of fly-by so I don't understand that element of the dream.
01/13/08 4:09 AM
I stomped on the left foot pedal, but I seemed to roll to the right. I am not certain if that is correct or not. I want to say that if I stomped on the left pedal, then I would have done a snap-roll to the left.
01/13/08 4:10 AM
Or maybe that is correct.
The left foot pedal would raise - I think it would raise - the left aileron, which I think is on the tail, or maybe it would raise the flap on the trailing edge of the left wing. When that control surface is raised, it seems....now that I think it though, I think the aircraft would roll in that direction. The control surface catches the air and creates a drag on that side of the aircraft, which causes it to change attitude on that side. Something like that. I feel slightly confused.
01/13/08 4:14 AM
The part about the longitudinal axis sounds correct, in terms of what I am trying to describe.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aileron
Ailerons are hinged control surfaces attached to the trailing edge of the wing of a fixed-wing aircraft. The ailerons are used to control the aircraft in roll. The two ailerons are typically interconnected so that one goes down when the other goes up: the downgoing aileron increases the lift on its wing while the upgoing aileron reduces the lift on the other wing, producing a rolling moment about the aircraft's longitudinal axis.
Modern military aircraft may have no ailerons on the wings at all, and combine roll control with an all-moving tailplane. This is a taileron or a rolling tail.
01/13/08 4:19 AM
In a roll, slower than a snap roll, which I think of as a very quick roll, the rudder would be used to keep the aircraft centered on its original heading. The roll would cause the aircraft to drift to one side or the other, which I think is known as yaw.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_control_surfaces
Longitudinal axis
The longitudinal axis passes through the plane from nose to tail. Rotation about this axis is called bank or roll. Bank changes the orientation of the aircraft's wings with respect to the downward force of gravity. The pilot changes bank angle by increasing the lift on one wing and decreasing it on the other. This differential lift causes bank rotation around the longitudinal axis. The ailerons are the primary control of bank. The rudder also has a secondary effect on bank.

I am not certain how long I was asleep before waking up about an hour ago. Several hours I guess. I still have a strong feeling of fatique but I cannot fall back asleep.
01/13/08 5:25 AM
As I was trying to fall back asleep a few minutes ago, I remember that I had also dreamed a few hours earlier about what I discovered about Starbucks and Minden, NV. In my dream, it was as though I was seeing one person, that I did not see enough of to recognize, telling what I discovered to another person, who I also could not recognize.

The one sleeping dream I have been aware of all day after getting out of bed was the same type of recurring-dream that plagues me so many nights: an elevator that won't stop on the floor I want it to.
Corridors, hallways, passageways, stairwells.
No matter how many times I push that damn button, it just won't stop on my floor.
And it's always different. Vividly different scenes, different people, different locations, and the elevator won't stop on my floor.
And that makes no sense. Even back in the 878 Days, there were no elevators. I cannot recall the last time I was on an elevator. I don't think about elevators during my waking hours. There's nothing in my waking hours that makes me think of elevators.
by me, Kerry Burgess, Sleep journal 2/14/06
Funny how I don't remember any dreams last night or this morning. I slept about 3 or 4 hours late in the evening and then a few hours later this morning. I don't remember anything. And then there is the way the few foreign dreams I've had lately seemed to be quieter, as if the manipulators were almost whispering or they were transmitting with a lower power setting. I do remember waking up at one point where it sounded like someone was telling Donald Pleasance that he had a taxi waiting for him downstairs to take him to the airport. Pleasance was the guy who was chasing that guy around in those Halloween movies. He also played a blind guy trying to escape from a WW2 German POW camp.

I started thinking this morning about a jacket I used to wear long ago. I bought it around the time Lynn and I started bicycling, which I think was in 1999. I wore that jacket every time I went cycling and some parts of it were green and other parts blue. I remember one time, after I had been wearing it for a long time, I noticed that the logo emblem on one side of the chest was labeled as "Brooks." I can remember feeling something like surprise that it was labeled "Brooks."

Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle: That's bull-shit MacCawley... but it's very, very good bull-shit.
"Missionary Man"
Song by Eurythmics ‧ 1986
Well I was born an original sinner.
I was borne from original sin.
And if I had a dollar bill
For all the things I've done
There'd be a mountain of money
Piled up to my chin
My mother told me good
My mother told me strong.
She said "Be true to yourself
And you can't go wrong."
"But there's just one thing
That you must understand."
"You can fool with your brother
But don't mess with a missionary man."
Don't mess with a missionary man.
Don't mess with a missionary man.
Well the missionary man
He's got god on his side.
He's got the saints and apostles
Backin' up from behind.
Black eyed looks from those bible books.
He's a man with a mission
Got a serious mind.
There was a woman in the jungle
And a monkey on a tree.
The missionary man he was followin' me.
He said "Stop what you're doing."
"Get down upon your knees."
"I've a message for you that you better believe."
