Merry Christmas to everyone in the world who is Christian, and to others who celebrate it — just for the heaven of it.

As for the rest of everybody, including Muslims, Atheists, Hindus, Buddhists, Animists, & Jews, Happy Thursday!

While we’re still figuring out life on Earth, Voyager 1 is 15 billion miles away, cruising on 69KB, an 8-track, and 1977s Fortran like it’s nothing.

A visual tribute to Jim Lovell, who passed away Thursday.
Inducted into NASA as part of the "New Nine" in Sept 1962, of which there are sadly no more. He flew Gemini VII and XII, Apollo 8, and as seen here as Commander of the ill-fated Apollo 13. 1/6
