Retro Wednesday: Space Age TVs (via SuperRadNow)

You probably haven’t seen these photos of TV’s before. Isn’t it amazing all the stuff we see on the Internet that we probably wouldn’t have known about without it?

Book Review: The Survival Imperative: Using Space to Protect Earth 9780765311146: William E. Burrows: Books

 

 

Amazon.com: The Survival Imperative: Using Space to Protect Earth 9780765311146: William E. Burrows: Books. I didn’t like this book. The first part was depressing and not entirely honest in its description of current challenges that we face on earth. While using the moon as a backup seems like a good idea, it also seems like a way to avoid taking responsibility for earth. If we can’t solve the issues then hopefully the next species will be smarter and better than us.
