Bank Holiday

During the Easter bank holiday, NASA launched the Orion Spaceship into orbit around the Earth, It then did an escape burn and was slung towards the moon, it went around the far side of the moon and headed back to earth. It appeared to be to test the integrity of the new technology. The four astronauts are brave souls. I wouldn't sit on a tiny capsule at the end of a large rocket like that; they can explode and vaporise the crew. 

I was wondering if a person had a heart attack and collapsed on a railway crossing and were hit by a train, what would be the cause of death? You could stay it was the train that caused the death but he wouldn't have been in the path of the train if his heart didn't stop. You could also say it was his heart that caused the death but then he may have survived the heart attack but the train ended hope for recovery. I guess both items would be considered, an accident caused by a medical crisis. I think about death every day for a short time because it is something we can't avoid. I'm not a negative person, I just accept that every being in this world dies; that's just the way it is. 

Artemis Easter

It was the Easter weekend and the Orion Spaceship performed an escape burn to slingshot itself towards the moon. It crossed the Lagrange point and entered the moons hillsphere ( an area around the moon where the moon's gravity pulls more than the Earth's). 

The four astronauts on the spaceship are going to pass around the far side of the moon and then return to Earth.  At the time of writing this post, they were very close to the moon, just some hours away from a flyby. They won't land on this mission, it's just to test out the new hardware and make sure they can reach the moon safely. The last thing I saw on the live feed was the crew asking flight control if they could tilt the spaceship to get a better view of the moon's surface. 

We are going to see a close up shot of the moon with modern cameras, that will be interesting. I was wondering if they're getting flashing in their eyes from deep space radiation? Have they found a way to deal with deep space radiation yet? I don't know. 

Interesting times.

What March 2026 Means To Me

The main news for March was the ongoing war between Iran and the Israel USA alliance. Lots of missiles were flying all over the place. The strait of Hormuz was shut down; oil couldn't be shipped out of the Arabian peninsula freely, this caused a lot of inflation and high energy prices. 

Last time I checked, petrol was selling in Britain at £1.60 per litre, that is lame. 

When chaos is happening all around you, when you are wondering how many people have perished and when this will ever end, just remember the average person can't do much. I think about other things; that's what I do. I acknowledge what is happening and then I look away and hope for the best. 

I was looking at the daisies in the grass verges. It is a flower that looks very ordinary but it is clever, it sprouts from amongst the grass but doesn't expose itself too much, just enough to get the bees attention. It avoids getting eaten by rabbits because they can't see it, you need to be a flying insect to see it. 

I will say no more. 

Tin Soup Pasta Sabbath

As I get older, I understand why the Sabbath was made. We go through a cycle of 7 days. On one of those days we should do nothing. Our mind is saturated with hostile thoughts and restless worries. There needs to be a day to reset everything. I think that is one of the greatest gifts from the Jewish people, it is knowing we should do our best all week but one day we stop. Most Christians I know of have their Sabbath on Sunday because Jesus was resurrected on that day. One day a week I think of nothing, I play computer games and sit about. I think it is better to follow the Jewish version, rest on Saturday, think nothing, do nothing just pray and acknowledge God, get some fresh air and chill out with family and friends. 

I bought one of those 400 ml soup tins from the supermarket the other day and mixed it with some fusilli pasta. I have a clay pot with a glass lid, it can go in the microwave or the oven.  It came out very nice, like it was made in a restaurant. The vetables in the soup became part of the pasta and the spices in the soup merged with the it, the pasta absorbed all the water in the soup. There are so many different tinned soups, I tried the vegetable soup. Perhaps next time I can try the tomato one. 

Cook pasta slowly in tinned soups, it works. You make a high quality pasta dish without doing much. I recommend lowering the power of the microwave if that is what you use. You can set the power of the microwave to 60% so the soup and pasta doesn't boil over. The lid traps most of the heat anyway. 

Acid Attack

I watched a video on YouTube of a man that had acid thrown in his face by a stranger. This is the video : https://youtu.be/8RABNt4drq8?si=05_F4iaL7rEiA2fqh. It is an interview about what the man went through. 

I think everyone should watch it so if we're having a bad day, we can remember that this man had it much worse and he stayed strong. I think it could also to make us aware that there are evil people amongst us. 

I really don't know how a person could do that to another human being. If you have a desire to cause that sort of harm to someone, you should pray to Jesus to take the malice away. You should also call the British Samaritans, dial 116 123 and speak to someone for free that doesn't know you and figure out a way to disguard those hateful thoughts. 

I guess  if you're  a psychopath then you can't help it, only Jesus can help you then. 

Synagogue Incident

Today I learnt that four volunteer ambulances belonging to a Jewish Synagogue were fire bombed. This confirms what I was warning my fellow Brits about, all the "free free Palestine" protests were a front for a much deeper system of hate and malice for the Jewish community. When people were approaching Jewish communities and shouting threats, the police should have taken action, they had the number plates of vehicles. They had video footage of people calling for war against Israel (insighting violence) , they need to roll their sleeves up and start arresting  people for anti semitic behaviour. If they really cared about war civilians, they would be protesting about the real genocides that are going on today in Iran, Nigeria and Sudan. 

I was thinking about a fictional old man that would come out and sort out his front yard. Antisocial people would throw trash in his front garden, he would pick up the trash and transform it. He would build a machine that grinds up plastic into powder and he would mix the powder with cement  to make a hybrid concrete that were waterproof. He would then build ponds with water fountains and attach light fixtures and transform a horrible sight into a paradise. Why? Because he wants to use his time to cancel out negative effects with his hands and he enjoys it. 

Japanese Prime Minister

I'm a bit behind with current events. I learnt today that Japan elected their first female leader, Sanae Takaichi in autumn last year. From what I learned about her, she is a lot like the 3 British Female prime ministers we had, she has conservative views. She doesn't like wasting money wants everyone to work hard and things like that. 

She had a very interesting life from what I learned. She even played in a heavy metal music band at one point.

I always thought Theresa May was a very good leader. She resigned because she couldn't break the Brexit deal deadlock, the cabinet was unreasonable in my view they wanted to cancel Brexit. I think she would have got good results if she wasn't stuck in that situation. If she returned to leadership now, she would do a better job than Keir. If she was back at the helm, it would be a breath of fresh air. 

I thought she was very honest and carefull with public money. I just feel like I can trust her more than the current  and previous leaders.
