ooops

genesis fell to earth with a bump yesterday (no no the prog band - but NASA's latest space capsule has crashed landed rather than the smooth touchdown that was planned and hoped for. there are still hopes that experiment and the information they sent it to the sun for can be saved, but it is looking shakey.

what with the failure of beagle 2 on mars there have been some costly blunders for space exploration.
(and no i am not trying to make a point about it being wasteful - like many children i wanted to the be the right stuff and go into space, i wasn't. but then i never made it as a policeman, prison governor, sociologist, bass player, porn star or writer).

it makes you wonder if there is not a higher power out there stopping us from finding out more about the big old universe we live in, stopping us from ever making the move to the stars.
or even more that all of it is just a media cover up......
hell i have moved into david icke territory now. so i had best quit.
