Planet Simon’s Weekly Orbit -Blog Date 51-2018

Hello there bloggies! This is it, for many of us the last week at work before 2018’s big hoho. I’m sure there are many of us out there all ready and sorted for Christmas, all I can say is that’s annoying because I’m not. I’ve been doing my best but I’ve had so much on it’s not funny.

This week was for a change a fairly busy week in terms of posts for Planet Simon. I wanted to make sure I’ve got a few posts out that I’ve been meaning to push out for a while. First up was a bit of space news – Voyager 2 has joined it’s twin Voyager 1 in interstellar space. Although still well within the gravitational influence of the Sun both the Voyager spacecraft are outside of the protective bubble that it creates.

Next up was a post on my take of the new Star Trek Series – Discovery. Season 2 is due to start next year and I’ve managed to get through season 1. It seems that there were a few bloggies that gave up on this early on as (like me at first) they thought it didn’t have legs. If you feel like this maybe I can convince you otherwise.

Finally I have been having thoughts on how the futuristic or Sci-Fi command structure should and should not work and how perhaps the Sci-Fi shows that we’ve been enjoying maybe a little backward in their thinking on this. Have a look and see what you think anyway:

Also make sure you look up my personal blog – Simon’s Blog. I’ve been up to a few things on there that the curious among my bloggies might like. Also let me know what you’ve been up to, are you winding down old projects for the year or starting something new? Anything new?

I’ll try and keep posting between now and the new year but if I don’t I’ll see you on the other side!

I’m sorry, it’s me – I can’t help it. I’ve tried to keep the insanity from the door of this corner of the web but I can’t do it any longer. The world in which we live is wonderful, beautiful and terrible thing and yet there’s few – well quite a lot of people actually…

Life the Universe and Everything – Don’t Panic!

In this series of posts I’m going to look at the human perspective and ask questions like ‘What does it mean to be human?’ or ‘How can I be a better Human?’ with a little sprinkling of ‘How can I be more comfortable as a human?’In this mad world we’ve been enduring especially over the…
