Will we one day explore the worlds of our solar system? How long will this take?

We have a diversity of worlds in our solar system. Majestic places…

Imagine being able to visit Mars and its hostile climate. Imagine being able to visit the moons of Jupiter, observe Io: the volcanic moon, Europa, the frozen moon and Ganymede a moon larger than Mercury itself and that has its own magnetic field. Imagine visiting the moons of Saturn and maybe passing close to your rings… Imagine orbiting or floating through Titan’s atmosphere and closely watching its lakes and seas of methane and liquid ethane. Imagine getting to know the geysers of Enceladus, the valleys of Tethys, and the craters of Mimas… Imagine being able to see the moons of Uranus and have a view of Verona Rupes, the largest cliff of the solar system, located in Miranda. Imagine being able to be in Triton and to be able to observe the cold and azualdo Neptune in the sky…

You just never know when you might find yourself in a life-threatening situation. Being aware of our bodies’ limits and requirements for basic survival is the first, and most crucial step towards getting through a dangerous situation.

Sanshiro the Judoist (Animated Classics of Japanese Literature)

Uploaded to Youtube by “20C History Project,” who writes:

“This is a three-part episode of a 1986 Japanese TV series called ‘Animated Classics of Japanese Literature’ and was adapted from a novel by Tsuneo Tomita that had been previously made into a live-action film that marked the directing debut of Akira Kurosawa back in 1943. It tells the saga of a young man named Sanshiro Sugata who studies a new form of jujitsu known as judo and takes on various opponents in Meiji-era Japan of the 1880s. He falls for the daughter of a man he is slated to fight, the leader of a competing school, and must eventually confront his rival for the daughter’s affections. In Japanese with English subs.”

I thought it might be helpful to share a list of art history and criticism books for those who are interested in the subject and don’t know where to start. I’ve read as many books as I could on the subject of Western art these last few years (in and outside of school) and the following include the books that I’ve enjoyed and learned from the most (and find myself frequently recommending):

Ways of Seeing by John Berger

Portraits: John Berger on Artists by John Berger

The Story of Art by E.H. Gombrich

Painting and Sculpture in Europe 1980-1940 by George Heard Hamilton

The Philosophy of Modern Art by Herbert Read

The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction by Walter Benjamin

Concerning the Spiritual in Art by Wassily Kandinsky

Lives of Artists (Volumes I & II) by Giorgio Vasari

Against Interpretation & Other Essays by Susan Sontag

Art as Therapy by Alain de Botton

History of Beauty by Umberto Eco

Art Through the Ages by Helen Gardner

Art Objects: Essays on Ecstasy & Effrontery by Jeanette Winterson

History of the Renaissance by Walter Pater

Z-Library is an online database that includes e-copies of over 4,000,000 books. If you’re unable to find any of the above mentioned at your local second-hand bookshop or are unable to afford the rather expensive cost of art books (the unfortunately high price of beautiful, colour-printed pages), I recommend looking into this project!

“Sometimes you’re 23 and standing in the kitchen of your house making breakfast and brewing coffee and listening to music that for some reason is really getting to your heart. You’re just standing there thinking about going to work and picking up your dry cleaning. And also more exciting things like books you’re reading and trips you plan on taking and relationships that are springing into existence. Or fading from your memory, which is far less exciting. And suddenly you just don’t feel at home in your skin or in your house and you just want home but “Mom’s” probably wouldn’t feel like home anymore either. There used to be the comfort of a number in your phone and ears that listened everyday and arms that were never for anyone else. But just to calm you down when you started feeling trapped in a five-minute period where nostalgia is too much and thoughts of this person you are feel foreign. When you realize that you’ll never be this young again but this is the first time you’ve ever been this old. When you can’t remember how you got from sixteen to here and all the same feel like sixteen is just as much of a stranger to you now. The song is over. The coffee’s done. You’re going to breathe in and out. You’re going to be fine in about five minutes.”
