Presented for your enjoyment, amazement and/or amusement. I haven't
worked with this stuff for a while, and forgot I had it. These are
digital alterations I've done of photos and other artwork. I have a
couple more that I'll have to locate. "Starfall" is the first one I ever
did.

I finally finished Trance Formation I, but I ended up with three different
versions.

They're up there now, in case anyone should happen to be interested.

On the same site it speaks about Bush's cutbacks in Nasa.

The ISS funding is being slashed, so we are relying on the Russians
to finish a lot of the work, at least according to this.

Evidenty our new space exploration motto is

Well, gosh, let's make space exploration a free market. All the collective
wisdom of the western world lies the febrile, sorry, fertile minds of the
venture capitialists. They were smart enough to speculate on dot-coms,
after all.

What good did the federal government ever do, anyway? I mean besides
stopping the rivers from catching fire.

I have long held man won't be firmly established in, or traveling, space
until the private sector gets into the game.

Cris Colon was on a government grant. It took another 100 years for the
English to risk privately financed colonies. Even those lost money for
decades.
