What Will Mars Do To Our Minds?
When human space travel made its transition from pipe dream to reality, one of the unknowns humans contended with concerned not just the physics of space, but the psychology of it. How would the human mind react to the final frontier? Would microgravity, combined with the isolation of a spaceship, cause a kind of claustrophobia? Would propulsion outside of Earth’s bounds, in the end, cause astronauts to experience a psychic break? Was there such thing, as science fiction writers had long feared, as “space madness”?
Space, fortunately, does not drive us crazy. But that doesn’t mean we’ve stopped caring about the effects its new environments will have on our psychology. The new version of the old “space madness” question is how time away from our home planet will affect us—in the long term. What could life on Mars do to that that other cosmic mystery: the human emotional state?
NASA is hoping to find out. This week, in partnership with the University of Hawaii at Manoa, the agency launched the latest version of its Mars simulation experiment, the Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation mission. On Hawaii’s Big Island, 8,200 feet above sea level, conditions are as Martian as they can be on Earth: Mauna Loa’s volcanic soil is quite similar to the volcanic regolith that can be found on Mars. HI-SEAS in general aims to replicate, as closely as is possible on Earth, what life would be like on Mars—and its latest iteration will put human emotions to the test.

An interesting study.

Great song by Van Morrison's original band, Them. Some terrific classic rock for the night.
Recorded in 1964.
Dr. Vivek Murthy's Surgeon General nomination receives conservative opposition.
Funny and accurate observations from the comedic genius of Jon Stewart and his writing team.
Mat Zo and Arty collaborate on this great house record. Yes, Will.I.Am stole from this track without proper credit, but the original is much better anyways.
Rebound, for the second record of the day to make up for yesterday's lack of musical medicine.
Sometimes we all need a little Michael in our lives. This is an excellent stripped mix of a classic Jackson 5 hit.
Turn a coffee cup upside down and you get...
Way too good not to share.
Gregory Porter has a voice dipped in mellow honey. His tone is fantastic, very fitting for jazz.
This is "I Fall in Love Too Easily" performed live at the RTL Jazz Festival.
I just am getting around to reading this a year or so after its publication, but it is a really interesting and thorough analysis of the underpinnings of the Chinese economic boom.
I'm in the mood to party. Here's a case of a remix being better than the original song.
Axwell -Center of the Universe (Blinders Remix).
If you don't know Blinders, he does some great stuff and will make it huge in the industry. Axwell, of course, is one of the 3 historic Swedish House Mafia.
I have been on a classical kick this week, listening to a lot of various classical artists on FM radio and some Chopin at home.
This music is timeless

The soul in this record is marvelous. Phenomenal song and live cover of it by John Legend and the Roots.
The story in the beginning is an interesting one.
Because Beyoncé. And Roller Coasters. But mainly Queen B.
These motherfuckers can PLAY.
