The ISS gliding serenely over the Mediterranean Sea, photographed by the departing Atlantis crew. This was the last shuttle mission of this year. The final half dozen or so construction mission to finish the space station will be spread throughout 2010 leading to the shuttle fleets (probable) retirement.

These shots always evoke awe in me, to see our planet from that perspective, to know we have got "this" far on the diaspora. When they retire the shuttles do they have replacements in mind? :)

Legitimate leadership flows from love. Anything less is violence incognito.

It is known that there is an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the product of a deranged imagination.
