Christmas in January
Posted by Danielle in Children's Items, Picspam on January 26, 2012
Yeah, yeah, it’s a little late for Christmas, but these images are too terrific to wait eleven months to post, I’m sorry! (Hat tip to Rachel Hobson for the find!)
Heh heh, Santa goes out on a LM… (limb! Get it? GET IT?? HAHAHA… okay I’ll shut up now.)

And what a lovely view it is, so close to the Moon. How I wish I could vacation there….

A beautiful illustration from the 1950s of a Russian expedition to the lunar surface. Ah, that retro-future! Image courtesy of Dark Roasted Blend.
Lunar Lander, circa 1964

A lunar lander mockup on display at the 1964 World’s Fair. Comment by the poster: “This was the popular all white mid-century modern version.” Agreed!
To the Moon
Posted by Danielle in Computer & Internet on July 7, 2010
To make up for last week’s potentially-Mac-only icon post, here is To the Moon by Iconfactory (makers of truly awesome things), and is definitely available in both Mac and PC flavors. This set has excellent detail, and no matter what re-theming I may do to my desktop, there’s always a To the Moon icon that remains. I can’t help it. (Right now it’s the re-entry icon. Such lovely transparency….)

Today’s NASA Image of the Day — what a fun shot! — reminded me of the photo above, which I used to have as a mini-poster in my room. Happy early birthday, America, and to all my readers, have yourselves a great 4th of July weekend! (Or a great weekend in general!)
