The planet Mars is at opposition and the closest approach to Earth in over a decade. I explained back then why this is an astronomical fact of spiritual significance.

    A better movie than I expected. It gives a glimpse into what human intelligence and ingenuity can do.

    The sad truth is that we are not prepared to go to Mars even though this is the best time to do so. If we really wanted to go there, we would have either been there by now, or would be ready to launch any day now. We have screwed up on our planet so badly that such dreams as spreading into space has been frozen in a milk run between the space station and the earth We have sent probes. Enough with the probes, already. Let's get our asses there.

    Gave The Martian 5 stars (as high as it goes) when Netflix asked me to rank it.
    Five = I loved it.

    The Martian, read the book. Andy Weir wrote a truly great novel. I saw the movie. It lacked a good deal of the humor. :)

    I did The Martian too, with Interstellar the week before. Also attended part of the Explore Mars conference here in DC. Sorry I can't post photos here or I'd give you a few!

    I binge watched The Martian and Interstellar this weekend just to feel inspired again. Space the final frontier.
