Update
This weekend Poets from around the West and around the world (even Australia) will gather for a weekend of swapping poems about the West. Horses, cattle, cowboys, and the lonesome trail will be praised in song and verse at the 29th, Colorado Cowboys' Poetry Gathering. Often humorous and always authentic these poets will delight sold-out audiences Friday-Sunday at the Mountain Club Center in Golden Colorado.

Quotes
Space exploration promised us alien life, lucrative planetary mining, and fabulous lunar colonies. News flash, ladies and gents: Space is nearly empty. It's a sterile vacuum, filled mostly with the junk we put up there. Graham Hawkes
I am very much against weapons in space. And I wish we could be spearheading that program to come to some kind of international agreement so that doesn't happen. That is my only - fear - in further space exploration like always, we hope it doesn't get abused. Scott Bakula
Geez, all that money we waste on space exploration; just think how many bombs that would buy!
Craig Bruce
Anything that stimulates the public's imagination about the nobility and the importance of space exploration is something that I'm very excited to be a part of. Ron Howard
Orion Project
The Apollo Program put man on the moon, but that program has become outdated and replaced by the Orion Project.The mission of Orion is to establish the Deep Space Gateway, a hub on the other side of the moon, that would serve as a rest stop for astronauts during the three year journey to and from Mars. An Orion spacecraft will both ferry supplies and astronauts to the hub and be the vehicle to explore deep space.
Many of the problems involved have not been researched yet. It will take 22 minutes for voice communications to go from Earth to a Mars location.and the same for Mars to contact Earth. Apollo Astronauts had almost instantaneous contact with ground controllers. Also at these distances and the time involved astronauts may experience muscle or bone loss, excessive radiation, or become addicted to weightlessness.
As previously reported in My Thoughts blogs NASA astronaut Nicole Mann is touring several of the over 200 Colorado facilities that are designing, building, and testing parts and programs for the Orion project. She was speaking at SEAKR of Centennial where engineers are designing equipment that saves images taken in deep space and sends them back to Earth. She said, "You're not building some box. You're not just building some computer board. You're building a part that's critical to space travel."
Colorado has the second-largest space economy in the country with a total 400 aerospace companies and over 188,200 jobs related to aerospace programs.
Far out
A light-year is the same as a regular year, but with less calories.
They've discovered insects on the moon, A tick on the moon is called a luna tick.
Aliens don't eat clowns because they taste funny.
The alien said to the cat, "Take me to your litter."
People do not like the restaurant on the moon, there was no atmosphere.
Herding Dogs
Stock Dog Trials (Intermediate Sheep Competition) @ Stadium Arena January 21, 1:00 PM. A popular favorite is the herding dog trials to get the flock in a pen so the handler can close the gate to the pen,
