Dome Hack
Posted by Danielle in Art & Architecture, Fashion & Accessories, News & Happenings on June 5, 2009
This happened last month: “hackers” at MIT put a scale model of the “Eagle” Apollo moon lander on the Great Dome. (I remember, a while back now, seeing the Great Dome mocked up as R2D2 and it was FANTASTIC. Clever students… clever, clever hacks.)
Anyway, this week I’ve posted gobs of pictures already, so how about some link spam instead? For instance: Long distance space travel leaves you short, fat and ugly, claim scientists (I love Britain.) Also, I saw this fantastic moon painting earlier this week but I couldn’t find a larger image, and MySpace scares me. And for those of you that didn’t know it already, Buzz Aldrin is a sharp-dressed man with a spiffy watch.
