Luis Fernando Verissimo: Conto de fadas para mulheres do séc. 21

Era uma vez, numa terra muito distante, uma linda princesa independente e cheia de auto-estima que, enquanto contemplava a natureza e pensava em como o maravilhoso lago do seu castelo estava de acordo com as conformidadesecológicas, se deparou com uma rã.

Então, a rã pulou para o seu colo e disse: -Linda princesa, eu já fui um príncipe muito bonito. Mas uma bruxa má lançou-me um encanto e eu transformei-me nesta rã asquerosa. Um beijo teu, no entanto, há de me transformar de novo num belo príncipe e poderemos casar e constituir um lar feliz no teu lindo castelo.

A minha mãe poderia vir morar conosco e tu poderias preparar o meu jantar, lavarias as minhas roupas, criarias os nossos filhos e viveríamos felizes para sempre… E então, naquela noite, enquanto saboreava pernas de rã à sautée, acompanhadas de um cremoso molho acebolado e de um finíssimo vinho branco, a princesa sorria e pensava: -Nem mortaaaa!

Get Ready To Launch America!

A new era of human spaceflight is about to begin. American astronauts will once again launch on an American rocket from American soil to the International Space Station as part of our Commercial Crew Program! NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley will fly on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft, lifting off on a Falcon 9 rocket at 4:32 p.m. EDT May 27, from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, for an extended stay at the space station for the Demo-2 mission. 

As the final flight test for SpaceX, this mission will validate the company’s crew transportation system, including the launch pad, rocket, spacecraft and operational capabilities. This also will be the first time NASA astronauts will test the spacecraft systems in orbit.

Behnken and Hurley were among the first astronauts to begin working and training on SpaceX’s next-generation human space vehicle and were selected for their extensive test pilot and flight experience, including several missions on the space shuttle.

Behnken will be the joint operations commander for the mission, responsible for activities such as rendezvous, docking and undocking, as well as Demo-2 activities while the spacecraft is docked to the space station.

Hurley will be the spacecraft commander for Demo-2, responsible for activities such as launch, landing and recovery.

Lifting off from Launch Pad 39A atop a specially instrumented Falcon 9 rocket, Crew Dragon will accelerate its two passengers to approximately 17,000 mph and put it on an intercept course with the International Space Station. In about 24 hours, Crew Dragon will be in position to rendezvous and dock with the space station. The spacecraft is designed to do this autonomously but astronauts aboard the spacecraft and the station will be diligently monitoring approach and docking and can take control of the spacecraft if necessary.

The Demo-2 mission will be the final major step before our Commercial Crew Program certifies Crew Dragon for operational, long-duration missions to the space station. This certification and regular operation of Crew Dragon will enable NASA to continue the important research and technology investigations taking place onboard the station, which benefits people on Earth and lays the groundwork for future exploration of the Moon and Mars starting with the agency’s Artemis program, which will land the first woman and the next man on the lunar surface in 2024. 

Get excited and follow along on social media using the hashtag #LaunchAmerica!

Antonio Machado, a un olmo seco

Al olmo viejo, hendido por el rayo

y en su mitad podrido,

con las lluvias de abril y el sol de mayo

algunas hojas verdes le han salido.

¡El olmo centenario en la colina

que lame el Duero! Un musgo amarillento

le mancha la corteza blanquecina

al tronco carcomido y polvoriento.

No será, cual los álamos cantores

que guardan el camino y la ribera,

habitado de pardos ruiseñores.

Ejército de hormigas en hilera

va trepando por él, y en sus entrañas

urden sus telas grises las arañas.

Antes que te derribe, olmo del Duero,

con su hacha el leñador, y el carpintero

te convierta en melena de campana,

lanza de carro o yugo de carreta;

antes que rojo en el hogar, mañana,

ardas en alguna mísera caseta,

al borde de un camino;

antes que te descuaje un torbellino

y tronche el soplo de las sierras blancas;

antes que el río hasta la mar te empuje

por valles y barrancas,

olmo, quiero anotar en mi cartera

la gracia de tu rama verdecida.

Mi corazón espera

también, hacia la luz y hacia la vida,

otro milagro de la primavera.
