In Orbit

Thom Yorke is right: why watch dullards on the boob-tube (Stephen King calls it the "brain sucking machine"), when you can watch this!

Wow. Now that's entertainment!

(An orbit is really just a free fall toward the surface of Earth. Thanks to the curvature of the earth, the surface moves away from the free-falling object faster than the object approaches it at that distance. Thus, an orbit. This is interesting to think about while watching NASA's feed.)
