Link Day
Rather than spend another entry talking about Sam/Jack fics that everyone else in the fandom has already read, I think I’ll clean out my random links folder. So, in true weblogging tradition, here are the links:
- Old images of Venus reprocessed - did you know the Soviets managed to land on Venus, a planet that’s literally hotter than hell, 10 out of 10 times?
- New images of Red Mars in QuickTimeVR - doesn’t it look nice and hospitable? It’s heaven compared to Venus - so where have all our landers gone?
- Maybe we need spies to find them.
- Are you a huge government space agency with a reputation to maintain, but you can’t hit Mars to save your life? Try this map of the universe (not to scale) - try not to hit the Great Wall
- Are you a Martian in search of a quieter neighborhood? Check out the galactic habitable zone.
- Here’s a map of Minnesota - where do you think O’Neill’s cabin is?
- If you’re crazy enough to come to Boston when the windchill is headed for -40 degrees Fahrenheit (I believe that’s about 11 degrees Kelvin for those of you playing the home game), here’s a handy map and pictures of the Chinatown bus stop. I cannot be held responsible for ensuing frostbite.
