Godspeed John Glenn

"Nature hasn't gone anywhere. It is all around us, all the planets, galaxies and so on. We are nothing in comparison".
-Bjork

 “The heavens themselves, the planets, and this centre Observe degree, priority, and place, Insisture, course, proportion, season, form, Office, and custom, in all line of order.”- William Shakespeare
