NASA and Elections

Any normal person has at one time in their life been obsessed with space and, especially if you've lived in the US of A - NASA .

If watching Apollo 13 was a momentous event in your life and you wanted to be an astronaut at some point - then I'd bet you begged your parents to send you to space camp as well.

And if you're like most families - you wouldn't have ever made it to the space camp.

Well, I never made it to space camp - not yet :) . But I did make it to the Johnson Space Center today. It was - for lack of a better phrase - pretty damn cool. I made the trip solo but it was still fun. I got to see a bunch of things including the historic mission control room. :)

And I bought a poster of the Earth - the one taken on Apollo 17 (the last manned mission to the moon) and if I'm correct was the picture featured on Al Gore's 'An Inconvenient Truth.' The most widely printed photograph in history or something if I'm right.

So I am happy.

Also all the US citizens out there that read this - please please please please please and once again PLEASE exercise your right to vote in the upcoming elections. (If you're a Rebuplican perhaps you'd prefer a nice night out on the town instead ;) just kidding) If you live in Chennai or abroad and need any information about how to vote via absentee ballot, here it is. Also if you have any questions, contact me and I'll answer them as best as I can.

Even if you think that the future of the country is going to the dogs, or all of the candidates are trash - vote for the best of the trash. Even if you 'don't do politics' please vote - or you won't be doing a lot of things if the wrong candidate gets voted in. And believe me there are some very wrong candidates out there.

If you're not voting - move to North Korea or something. Its your responsibility to voice your opinion.

And if you still think this is crap.

Vote for me - it'll make me happy.

Believe me random acts of kindness are good for your karma.
