The Earth Was Without Form, and Void

The parallels with Apollo 8 continue.  Big difference - I mean, besides free return trajectory vs going into lunar orbit and whatnot - is that Madalyn Murray O'Hair ain't around to sue NASA this time (sorrynotsorry for being a little pithy and petty today).

Anyway, from the crew of Esoterikos Daimonas, we close with good night, good luck, a Happy Easter, and G-D bless all of you, all of you on the good Earth...


PS - Having finished re-watching First Man, now I've got the 1968 episode of From the Earth to the Moon on, which reminds me that Apollo 6 was launched on this same day that Dr King was assassinated.

PPS - It's kinda surreal having the live NASA feed on my laptop whilst entertainment from 28 years ago about a flight that happened 30 years prior to the show is on my teevee.  Integrity is currently over 306,000 km from Earth, and is giving us this lovely view (notice the moon is slightly larger than it was in the previous post):

PPPS - toilet's still on the fritz.
