Mariano Peccinetti (a.k.a. Transvorder) creates the most amazing cosmic, retro collages using found imagery in his series Collage al Infinito. see more on his Tumblr.
much talk has been made this week of the Dutch company Mars One and it's competition (is that the right word???) which offers participants the chance of a one-way trip to Mars where they will live for the rest of their lives, aiding all the smart space agency folks down here on the planet of blue and green by providing information on the red planet. while the mission sounds very exciting a lot of criticism of it has come from the question of planet colonization. i'll let Noam Chomsky take it from here:
“the United States blocked the UN general assembly resolution opposing space-based weapons. it was passed 138-0, the US and Israel alone abstaining, the US abstention is a veto. two years earlier the US space command published what it called it’s vision for the year 2020, which called for ‘full spectrum dominance’, including control of space, military control in order to protect US interests and investments.” - Noam Chomsky
