Cancer Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 Fifty years ago today, Apollo 8 launched. The mission was "simply" a lap to lunar orbit and back, with no landing attempt intended. But it was the first inhabited spacecraft to leave low Earth orbit. And it changed the world and how we think of it, if for no other reason than the unprecedented and stunningly beautiful Earthrise picture captured by Bill Anders while in lunar orbit.

Cancer Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Also, one of the Puget Sound's more infamous native sons, serial killer Ted Bundy, was executed in Florida on this day in 1989. Hundreds just outside the prison cheered the execution as it happened. I got to the University of Washington in Seattle in the fall of 1974, only a couple of months after Bundy fled the state after things were getting too hot for him in Washington. Some women were carrying firearms that summer during that terror. A female colleague while I was in grad school said she had met him once in Florida and decided "he was weird" and avoided getting killed by him.
