Memory is a record.
People only have substance within the memories of other people. And that’s why there were all kinds of myself. There weren’t a lot of myself per se, I was just inside all sorts of people, that’s all.

NASA Spacecraft Data Suggest Water Flowing on Mars

“NASA’s Mars Exploration Program keeps bringing us closer to determining whether the Red Planet could harbor life in some form,” NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said, “and it reaffirms Mars as an important future destination for human exploration.”

Space Shuttle: The Complete Missions – all 135 montaged in one video, a time capsule of essential NASA history. See also William Shatner’s Space Shuttle tribute and the Carl Sagan / Space Shuttle remix.   (via)

"The space shuttle has changed the way we view the world and it’s changed the way we view our universe. There’s a lot of emotion today, but one thing’s indisputable. America’s not going to stop exploring."

Atlantis commander Christopher Ferguson, as NASA’s last space shuttle mission touched down at Cape Canaveral, Florida, this morning. But even despite talk about possible ventures to an asteroid, or Mars, when the United States will actually continue space exploration is a big question. NASA’s 30-year-old space shuttle program is being shut down amid economic concerns — each launch reportedly cost $1 billion — and, some say, what appears to be a dying down of galactic wanderlust. Atlantis, which according to the New York Times went on 33 missions over 26 years, will remain at Kennedy Space Center.

crookedindifference: Shuttle Memorabilia: Completing The Collection The final launch of Atlantis and the end of the space shuttle program have created an increased interest in space memorabilia, especially for artifacts from the shuttle era. No one knows this better than Robert Pearlman, the founder of the website collectSPACE.com, which is considered the online source for space history and artifacts. Topping the list of collectibles are items that have flown on the space shuttle, like flags and mission patches, as well as parts of the shuttle, like the heat shield tiles or parts of the thermal blankets. Pieces of popular culture have also made their way onto shuttle flights, including Luke Skywalker’s light saber and a 12-inch-tall Buzz Lightyear action figure. And astronauts have sometimes taken personal items up with them. Among the more unusual items: a chunk of Mount Everest. “About five years ago, you could buy an American flag that flew on the first space shuttle mission — of which there were 10,000 onboard — for about $500,” explains Pearlman. “Today, you’re lucky if you can find it for less than $1,000.”
