Leonard Cohen - The Future
So I was thinking about this crew bc my friend Peter (and I on Peter’s live stream) got to talk to Mike Barratt today. Iirc Mike Barratt is the second oldest person to go into LEO. Barratt is like 64-65. Yes William Shatner was in Blue Origin at age 90 but that wasn’t to LEO.
Album Review: Shelby Lynne - The Servant
Shelby Lynne found religion and got the blues.
The result is the Servant, a collection of 10 eclectic songs of faith released with no promotion and no info about its makers save for arranging credits to Lynne, multi-instrumentalist George Doering and producer Steve Lindsey.
“Making it saved my soul,” Lynne said of the LP.
If more people knew about it, it also might save her bank account because the Servant is a heavenly listen.
Bookended by “Go Tell it on the Mountain” and “Wayfaring Stranger,” the Servant clocks in at just under 40 minutes of acoustic-based country blues and electrified blues music that finds Lynne channeling a Baptist revival on “Didn’t it Rain,” making a dirge of “When the Saints Go Marching In” and taking “Just a Closer Walk with Thee” to a juke joint.
And when Lynne shambles her way through a grimy “God’s Gonna Cut You Down,” the most-pious listener and the sinner are both likely to shiver.

The Space Shuttle Discovery (STS-121) took off on 4 July 2006, the only launch for the shuttle program on Independence Day.
The crew consisted of commander Steve Lindsey, mission specialist Mike Fossum, pilot Mark Kelly, mission specialist Piers Sellers, mission specialist Lisa Nowak, station Expedition flight engineer Thomas Reiter, and mission specialist Stephanie Wilson.
On Discovery's flight in July [STS-121], astronaut Lisa Nowak's ponytail got stuck to the Velcro on the ship's ceiling. It was "very uncomfortable for her," said Steven Lindsey, Discovery's commander. "But I just couldn't help myself. I started cracking up."

I had to laugh at this.
