My Dear Friends,
Just after reading the most recent IPCC report and following the events at COP26, I began to follow Musk’s Space Adventures more closely.
Musk is the new Tom Swift, but a real-life figure who can accomplish almost anything.
Musk is a man who provides us with some hope for our future, even though this hope might be science fiction, perhaps.
Musk believes that our future lies in the stars, as a safeguard to protect our intelligence from being completely wiped out by our foolishness on planet Earth.
During the next decade, just the same period of time I have lived on TV, we WILL be able to ride rocket ships into space, for a reasonable price.
AND, for sure, someone from TV will be shot into space, and then live to post us all what it was like, after returning to Earth.
You know, my friends, that, even if Musk popularizes Space Travel for guys such as we on TV, still, when we return to Earth, there might be some issues to contend with, unfortunately.
For example, post-COP26, I did watch this very interesting discussion among some science thinkers, which I highly recommend in order to achieve a better perspective of what might be facing us here among our forum members, not to mention the rest of humanity.
You realize, My Friends, that many of you are just about the same age as I. The longer we enjoy TV, then the older we become. Am I right? And the older we become, then the older Earth becomes, and Earth is aging very fast, these days.
Doubtless, not only is it we who might be aging, but it is our favorite forum which is both aging, as it continues gaining increased stature, maybe clout, too, as we speak. Our forum is always getting better.
What I mean is, as both the forum ages, and as we age along with it, we become fuller of wisdom, as well as becoming more valuable to society, in general, as a result of our collective knowledge gained during so many years. We truly have so much to contribute.
And now, I just want to post an important link here which will set us up for the next decade on TV, something which is somewhat evidence based, “evidence based” being a “new” term for the old term, which was truth.
So, anyway, those of us who love life as we know it, should take a look at this video, and not discount it, since we can probably guess that this video is not sensational, in any way.
What I hope for is that I will be able to live the rest of my life without witnessing too much more devastation to the lives of others. But maybe I will need to purchase a new set of blinders, being the horse that I am.
One more thing, since both you and I love rice: One thing I did not realize when I was very young is that the rice plant will not bear fruit if exposed to just a slightly higher temperature than what exists today. And so, what implications might this have for us, here, living in Asia, such a wonderful land, populated by rice lovers….?
Jasmine Rice is my favorite variety of rice.
What about you?
Best regards,….
Another Note: Speaking one more thing about rice, I love sticky rice and mango.... Everybody does.
