Will orbit for...
30 years of American manned space exploration ended today, and I don't know when it will start up again.
So...I created this cartoon, playing off the cliche' 'will work for food' signs, and also playing off NASA Administrator Charles Bolden's quote from an interview in 2010, talking about what President Obama wanted from him:
"When I became the NASA administrator -- or before I became the NASA administrator -- he charged me with three things. One was he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math, he wanted me to expand our international relationships, and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science ... and math and engineering,"
So...now America has her thumb out, pointing to the heavens, asking..." Can you spare a lift?"

Katamari Damacy
My son and I are hooked on this crazy game for the PlayStation 2, " Katamari Damacy".
The game play is very simple and straightforward. The story:
" In a freak accident, the King of All Cosmos inadvertently annihilated all the stars.
The task of fixing the King's mistake has fallen upon his son, the Prince.
In order to restore the glorious starry sky, the Prince must roll around a heap of objects on Earth, using the katamari, gathering more and more things from the item rich planet and sending them off into the night sky.
Does the Prince have what it takes to succeed? "
The player starts off with a little ball like object, that smaller items stick to once the 'ball' makes contact.
As you collect more and more items, from people, to elephants, trees, walls, etc., the katamari grows larger and larger, until you are circling the globe, grabbing islands, ships, and yes, Godzilla.
I can't recommend this gentle, goofy game highly enough.
