I've described reasons why this Public Relations endeavour I *seem* to have been forced into is futile.
One reason is because those kids today are unable to relate to people who are now old, such as I.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a figure I've singled out lately because of her popularity with the mainstream media, as best I can figure was only in the 8th grade back in 2005 when I was forced onto the path I am now stuck on. My life has been in some sort of coma forced on me since then.
Today I checked the Bureau of Labor CPI Inflation Calculator. I quit my full-time employment at Microsoft Corporation in Seattle for the very same reasons I document here just about every day. I had a great salary, I was considered a "rising star", as I was accustomed to much of my life, along with all the great perq.'s that went with my full-time employment - that ended with my *career* because of my *legitimate* complaint - I left an $80,000 per year salary that was only going to increase every year *beyond* any sort of inflation increases, which was never an explanation for my salary increases. My salary was almost $30,000 higher after my 5-years of full-time employment at Microsoft Corporation. What gets me today, as a further indication of how much time has passed as I feverishly bang away at this stupid keyboard on this stupid computer at this stupid desk is the CPI calculator I checked today. That $80,000 in February 2004 is now $110,000 in July 2019. That's just for inflation. My initiative was working at a much greater pace.
Everything about this operation seems so neat and tidy (except for my income). And it seems to be for the purpose of me creating here a public record. Information developed and collected by *me* and delivered to any person in the public who wants to read it here.

Galactica - Briefing Room
Starbuck: Let's review the tactical situation. Four weeks ago, our mining ships struck pay dirt on this asteroid. A pile of strategic metals that we need to build new ships. Since we're sitting ducks until the miners finish the job, the old man has sent the fleet out of harm's way under the protection of Pegasus. Our job is to stay behind and protect the miners. Unfortunately, this star system is full of rocks and dust. Dradis cannot tell the rocks from the bad guys, so our only reliable system of detection is--
Kat: Our eyeballs.
Starbuck: Which means we have to put those eyeballs way out there. Split up, cover a huge perimeter. We'll be patrolling the area in divisions of four at these picket points.
Kat: Twos, we're going in sections of twos.
Starbuck: Are you planning the ops for me now too?
Kat: CAG wants us to spread out to control a larger area. It's right here in the briefings.
Starbuck: All right. So, we do go in twos. Scar and his buddies are out there. Looking for easy kills. Let's not give him any.

Roslin: This operation is vital to the long term survival of this fleet.
Adama: Yes, it is. And we'll continue to support it.

Astronauts
Yes, NASA Astronauts Can Watch Movies in Space
January 22, 2018
Written by Ashley Hamer
Astronauts: they're just like you and me. They listen to music, drink coffee, and put their spacesuits on one leg at a time. Although their work days can be grueling, there's still time to kick back and catch a movie. And thanks to a 2016 Freedom of Information Act request by Matt Novak of Paleofuture, we know exactly what's playing.
Science Fiction/Fantasy
If you love space enough to actually go there, chances are you love space movies just as much. It's no surprise that NASA astronauts get their pick of the "Star Wars" movies, including the original trilogy, all three prequels, "The Force Awakens," and "The Last Jedi" (no word on "Rogue One" or "The Star Wars Holiday Special"). They also have all of the "Star Trek" movies to choose from, along with "Back to the Future," "Alien," "The Fifth Element," "Contact," "Armageddon," "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," and, somewhat ironically, "Gravity." (At least "Apollo 13" didn't make the cut.) And while it's not science fiction, the first season of Carl Sagan's "Cosmos" is certainly science-fan-friendly.
There are also many movies that take NASA's best and brightest far away from their normal surroundings. "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" movies are there, as is "Pirates of the Caribbean," "Avatar," and one "Harry Potter" film.
Comedy
As far as hilarious films go, astronauts have just as many objectively brilliant comedies as they do the kind of screwball, slapstick films you might watch in a college dorm. On the classic side, movies like "Dr. Strangelove" and "Young Frankenstein" lend a seasoned gravitas to the list, while modern classics like "This is Spinal Tap," "Wayne's World," and "The Big Lebowski" add their own shine.
And then there are the wacky comedies. "Austin Powers" seems like a great way to unwind after a long day on the space station, as does "Hot Fuzz" and "Dodgeball." Who wouldn't want to shoot floating globules of milk out of their nose watching "Zoolander" with fellow astronauts?
Drama
They might be astronauts, but they're also government employees, and NASA chose a sizable selection of films that inspire U.S. patriotism. You've got celebrations of American values in films like The Wizard of Oz and It's a Wonderful Life, butt-kicking nouveau-Western heroes in movies like Die Hard and shows like 24, and modern classics in "House of Cards" and "Homeland." There are also traditional selections like "Casablanca" and "Citizen Kane," and holiday favorites like "A Christmas Story."
As Suman Ghosh notes at The Conversation, infamous rule-breakers are conspicuously absent: there's no "Thelma and Louise" or "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," nor is there "Dirty Harry," "Rambo," or "Rocky." You don't want a space mutiny on your hands, after all.

There was plenty to occupy his time, even if he did nothing but sit and read. When he tired of official reports and memoranda and minutes, he would plug his foolscap-size Newspad into the ship's information circuit and scan the latest reports from Earth. One by one he would conjure up the world's major electronic papers; he knew the codes of the more important ones by heart, and had no need to consult the list on the back of his pad. Switching to the display unit's short-term memory, he would hold the front page while he quickly searched the headlines and noted the items that interested him. Each had its own two-digit reference; when he punched that, the postage-stamp-size rectangle would expand until it neatly filled the screen and he could read it with comfort.

Even Astronauts Binge-Watch TV While in Space
In a cramped and isolated environment like a space station, leisure activities are extra important for maintaining mental health.
MARINA KOREN
MAY 9, 2019
This time last year, Drew Feustel was weightless, floating from room to room on the International Space Station. When he looked out a window, the view was stunning. There was Earth, resplendent and gleaming against the inky darkness of space. There, beneath silky tufts of white clouds, was the rest of humanity.
But even in this rarefied environment, Feustel sometimes turned his attention to a pastime familiar to us earthbound workers—plowing through every single season of a hit television show.
When Feustel and I sat down for a recent interview, the disposable cup of coffee I had set down on the conference-room table in front of us caught his eye. He laughed. The cup, he said, reminded him of something that had happened on Game of Thrones.
Fans know what I’m talking about. During a scene in this week’s episode, the fourth in the highly anticipated final season of the HBO series, viewers noticed something that clearly did not belong in Westeros: a disposable coffee cup, complete with a cardboard sleeve, right there on the banquet table in front of Daenerys Targaryen, the Mother of Dragons, as she shot knowing looks at Jon Snow, the reluctant King in the North.
Feustel, it turns out, had watched seven seasons while he was on the ISS.
“People said it might be interesting, and it seems pretty popular down here,” Feustel said. “So I took the time to try to get caught up on all the episodes and see what all the fuss was about—and enjoyed it.”
This caught me off guard. I’d met with Feustel to talk about his work as an astronaut for NASA, such as whether he felt nervous repairing the Hubble telescope, with nothing but a spacesuit between him and the vacuum of space. What spacewalking feels like, and whether he’s had any close calls. How he adjusted to Earth again after six months, and whether his eyeballs had become a little squished, a weird but common phenomenon in people who spend a long time in space, where fluid in the skull, freed from gravity, floats and pushes against the back of the eye. You know, otherworldly stuff, not meme-worthy continuity errors.
Sure, it felt like everyone on the planet was talking about Game of Thrones this week, but Feustel isn’t exactly everyone else. In the United States, astronauts are treated like celebrities, even national treasures. Feustel looked the part, dressed in a bright-blue jumpsuit with mission patches embroidered across the chest and shoulders, including NASA’s instantly recognizable logo. It was easy to forget that Feustel, like all astronauts, is just a regular guy, and that astronauts do regular-people things, like binge-watch TV shows. They just do it in space.
Read: Astronauts on the ISS have trouble with work-life balance, too
It’s not only Game of Thrones. Astronauts watch all kinds of entertainment on the ISS, from TV shows and films to sporting events and cable news, usually on their laptops. (Feustel’s favorite was car races, such as Formula One.) On Saturday nights, the crew might watch a movie together on a 65-inch screen that was installed in 2015. Earlier this week, they watched Star Wars in honor of May 4, the unofficial holiday of the franchise. The station is stocked with DVDs, and astronauts can request more in regular cargo deliveries, if there’s room. But most of the media is beamed up as digital files.
“Space-station crew members request whatever programming they would like to see, and Mission Control arranges for those television shows to be uplinked to them on their [laptops],” explains Stephanie Schierholz, a NASA spokesperson. “The connection is quick. Essentially the delay is not any different than the TV broadcast in your house.”
This doesn’t mean astronauts are sitting around the space station watching sitcoms until their fingers are caked in Cheetos dust and the screen goes black and asks, rather judgmentally, “Are you still watching?” Astronaut days are packed. They work regular weekday hours, and spend Saturdays doing housekeeping chores such as vacuuming. They work out for two hours every day so that their muscles and bones, relieved of the responsibility of bearing their weight, don’t atrophy. Exercise is prime time for entertainment consumption; astronauts can watch something on small screens while on the treadmill or stationary bike.
Unlike for many of us, binging TV shows is actually crucial to astronauts’ mental health. Any leisure activity is, really. Board games, music, movies—these provide comfort and distraction in a pretty challenging environment. The ISS is slightly bigger than a six-bedroom house. For six months, astronauts sleep strapped into their bed, bathe with water from plastic pouches, and eat freeze-dried food. There are no sounds of nature, no wind in their hair, no sunlight to warm their skin. And they hang out with the same people, day in and day out.
“We don’t have that many places to go. There’s only so many modules you can float into to get away or experience something different,” Feustel said. “We see the same walls every day unless we go outside for a spacewalk, which is pretty rare. When you’re six people separated from 7 billion people, you like to have things in space that keep you connected to Earth.”
For most of spaceflight history, astronauts have been roughing it in cramped quarters and dangerous conditions. Movies such as Apollo 13 portrayed space exploration as a high-stakes, nail-biting endeavor. At times, that’s still true—an empty SpaceX spacecraft designed to someday carry astronauts blew up just last month—but these days, most space travel is more routine. The ISS is a spaceship, but it’s also a home. Astronauts are spending more time on the station than ever before. The longer they’re cooped up, the more important maintaining their well-being becomes. You can bet a spaceship bound for Mars will come fully stocked with enough hours of entertainment to keep space travelers from strangling one another during the seven-month trip there.
Feustel, who returned to Earth in October, hasn’t watched the latest Thrones season. He doesn’t subscribe to HBO, and Mission Control can’t help with that. Feustel won’t get to see the random cup on the banquet table; HBO producers digitally erased the interloper from the scene a few days after it aired. But at least when Feustel sits down to watch, he won’t have to strap himself down so he doesn’t float away.
“Hopefully, I’ll get caught up,” he said.

LUNAR IMPACT: A History of Project Ranger
Part I. The Original Ranger
Chapter Nine - LUNAR EXPLORATION BEGUN
the Air Force agreed to schedule the first launch attempt for Monday, April 23, having rejected the preceding day, Easter Sunday, out of regard for people’s religious sensibilities.
With all checks completed, the launch sequence began at 3:50 pm EST, with the familiar puff of white smoke signaling start of the Atlas engines. Ranger 4 rose, on its way to the moon.
Tracking antennas at Cape Canaveral monitored the performance of the Atlas, the Agena, and Ranger until they passed out of sight over the horizon eight minutes after liftoff. By that time the Atlas had staged and separated from the Agena, and Agena first burn had begun.
The Agena had completed its second burn; the spacecraft signal, however, indicated immediate, serious difficulties. Though Ranger's transponder was radiating at the 960 megacycle tracking frequency, all telemetry commutation was absent The state of health of the spacecraft could not be ascertained. Two minutes later Ranger 4 separated from the Agena and, as designed, tumbled very slowly on its lunar trajectory. The moment passed when the machine was to extend its solar panels and high-gain antenna and begin stabilizing itself But without telemetry, flight controllers lacked confirmation that these events had taken place. The fluctuating strength of the transponder signal strongly suggested that the spacecraft was still tumbling, its solar panels tucked up firmly against the superstructure and its high gain antenna still stowed over the midcourse engine beneath the spacecraft. The mission was in desperate trouble.
The station at Woomera acquired Ranger's transponder and began tracking the spacecraft as it moved out and away from the earth. These data, relayed to the JPL control center and fed into a computer, permitted an initial trajectory to be calculated. This time the near-perfect performance of the Atlas-Agena B had put Ranger 4 on a collision course with the moon even without a midcourse correction maneuver. But the spacecraft remained inoperative. Burke, who had arrived in Miami aboard an Air Force plane on his way home, approved a series of trouble-shooting commands to be sent from the Johannesburg station in an effort to fathom the spacecrafts true status. Commands to advance the telemetry, to switch the transponder signal from the low-gain antenna to the high gain antenna, to change the high-gain antenna hinge angle, and to override the Spacecraft roll control system were all quickly transmitted. All of them proved futile. At JPL the Spacecraft Data Analysis Team issued a grim prognosis: the master clock in Ranger's central computer and sequencer had stopped. Without that timer, the telemetry decommutator had ceased operating, all timed functions had failed to take place, and the vehicle could not accept and act on commands from earth. For all intents and purposes, Ranger 4 was dead. At the Cape a NASA official lamented: "All we've got is an idiot with a radio signal."
The flawless performance of the Atlas-Agena launch vehicle made Burke's own disappointment all the more bitter. Hitting the moon with an idiot Ranger was no consolation.

Macbeth: Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, creeps in this petty pace from day to day; to the last syllable of recorded time; and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more.
The Omega Man (1971)
(from internet transcript)
[ Matthias (flashback television news broadcast): ] Is this the conclusion of all our yesterdays, the boasts of our fabled science... the superhuman conquests of space and time, the age of the wheel? We were warned of judgment. Here it is.

Until I got back online an hour ago, I had completely forgotten even the month when I entered into this newest hobo warehouse. September 24th was my last post on HVOM so I guess that was when I left for here. That was almost 5 freakin' months ago!!

I think I am in love with Lily Jang. It seems crazy to even write that, with all things considered, but, well, what isn't crazy right now?

Galactica - Brig
Boomer: This guy's probably died and been reborn a dozen times. You may have faced him before.
Starbuck: So what, raiders reincarnate? Just like you?
Boomer: Yeah, just like me.
Starbuck: Great. What a frakkin' world.
Boomer: A raider's much like a trained animal, with the basic consciousness and survival instinct. But with the destruction of the resurrection ship, when they die, they're really dead. So, they're not gonna mount mass attacks where they could have major casualties.
Starbuck: Raiders reincarnate?
Boomer: Makes sense, doesn't it? It takes months for you to train a nugget into an effective viper pilot. And then they get killed. And their experience, their knowledge, their skill sets. They're all lost forever. So, if you could bring 'em back and put 'em in a brand new body, wouldn't you do it? 'Cause death then becomes a learning experience. How, uh-- how many pilots have we lost? I mean, have you lost?
Starbuck: You know, there are times when I look at you and I forget what you are. All I see is that kid that pooched her landings day after day. The kid that was frakkin' the chief and thinking she was getting away with it.
Boomer: Yeah, I remember. [Crying] You were like a big sister to--
Boomer reaches out to touch Starbuck on the leg. The marines promptly cock and raise their rifles to stop her.
Boomer: Kara, um-- be careful of Scar, okay? He's filled with rage.
Starbuck: About what?
Boomer: Dying's a painful and traumatic experience. Every time he's reborn, he's filled with more bitter memories. Scar hates you every bit as much as you hate him.

STS-82 Day 5 Highlights
Back to STS-82 Flight Day 04 Highlights:
On Saturday, February 15, 1997, 7:00 a.m. CST, STS-82 MCC Status Report # 9 reports:
Early this morning, astronauts Greg Harbaugh and Joe Tanner completed a 7 hour, 27 minute spacewalk in the cargo bay of the Shuttle Discovery to replace and install several new engineering components in the Hubble Space Telescope.
After being awakened late Friday afternoon, Harbaugh and Tanner completed the checkout of their spacesuits well ahead of schedul, allowing them to start the second spacewalk of the flight at 9:25 p.m. Central time, almost one hour ahead of schedule.
Harbaugh and Tanner went right to work, replacing a degraded Fine Guidance Sensor and a failed Engineering and Science Tape Recorder with new spares. Payload controllers verified that the new Fine Guidance Sensor and the new tape recorder were healthy and ready to support the telescope's scientific efforts. The astronauts also installed a new unit known as the Optical Control Electronics Enhancement Kit, which will further increase the capability of the new Fine Guidance Sensor.
During the spacewalk, the astronauts and flight controllers took note of cracking and wear incurred by thermal insulation which protects several areas of the telescope. The part of the telescope which is in the direction of travel and always exposed to the sun has experienced slight cracks and delamination during almost seven years of time on orbit. Flight controllers and Hubble project managers are evaluating whether some repair work might be performed to certain portions of the telescope's insulation during the final spacewalks of the flight.
As Harbaugh and Tanner neared the end of their work in the cargo bay, Discovery's small maneuvering jets were fired for about 20 minutes to gently raise Hubble's altitude by about 1.8 nautical miles. The reboost effort by Commander Ken Bowersox and Pilot Scott Horowitz will be performed again near the end of the final two spacewalks and should raise Hubble's altitude by a total of about five nautical miles. Harbaugh and Tanner returned to Discovery's airlock at 4:52 A.M., with more than 14 hours of spacewalk servicing time having been logged during the first two excursions in the Shuttle's cargo bay.
The astronauts will begin an eight-hour sleep period at 9:25 this morning and will be awakened at 5:25 this afternoon for the third spacewalk by Mark Lee and Steve Smith. They will replace an ailing Data Interface Unit, swap out another science and engineering tape recorder for a new solid state recorder and will replace a faulty Reaction Wheel Assembly for a new unit to help steer the telescope to its targets.
Discovery and the Hubble Space Telescope continue to orbit the Earth every 90 minutes at an altitude of approximately 370 statute miles with all of the Shuttle's systems still operating in excellent condition.
On Saturday, February 15, 1997, 5:00 p.m. CST, STS-82 MCC Status Report # 10 reports:
With two spacewalks complete, the STS-82 crew has met the minimum success criteria for the second Hubble Space Telescope servicing mission, but still has plenty of work left to do.
Tonight, astronauts Mark Lee and Steve Smith will leave the crew cabin for their second spacewalk of the flight. Lee and Smith are scheduled to install a new Data Interface Unit in HST and swap out a science and engineering tape recorder with a new solid state recorder. Unlike the older reel-to-reel recorder, the new digital recorder has no reels, no tape or moving parts to wear out and unlimited lifetime. Data is digitally stored in computer-like memory chips until HST's operators at the Goddard Space Flight Center play it back. Lee and Smith also will replace a Reaction Wheel Assembly that failed late last year with a new unit to help steer the telescope to its targets.
The Hubble Space Telescope was designed for on-orbit servicing with three maintenance scenarios in mind. They are incorporating technological advances into the science instruments as was done with the installation of the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph and the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer, replacing items such as the tape recorders and reaction wheels which normally degrade over time; and correcting random equipment failures or malfunctions.
If there is time during the spacewalk, Lee and Smith may perform some simple operations to assist engineers in planning for the possibility of performing some repairs to the aging thermal covering of the telescope. Controllers and astronauts have noticed areas on the telescope where the insulation is peeling. The tasks include bringing materials that could be used for the repair back into the crew cabin, assessing how brittle the insulation is and testing how well Kapton tape adheres to the insulation.
The spacewalk is officially scheduled to begin at 10:20 p.m., but for the first two EVAs, crew members completed their preparations early so that they were ready to begin between 9 and 9:30 p.m.
Also during the sixth day of the mission, Commander Ken Bowersox and Pilot Scott Horowitz will fire the small steering jets in the next phase of the effort to reboost the telescope. The first reboost burn raised Hubble's altitude by about 1.8 nautical miles, and a second unplanned burn, which was required to move Discovery a safe distance from some orbital debris, raised the orbit another half mile. Overall, flight controllers plan to raise HST's orbit about 7 statute miles.
