remember when they lost a monkey into

in that moment the little chimp became a
space pioneer for future monkeys like us

little there so I have this new antenna
design we can try that was the Dayton
Ham vention 1997 that was a good year
I’ve been thinking and you should have
this well I have one already I’ll just
leave it here then I’m becoming a weird
kid at school you know who is weird
Einstein was weird Picasso Mozart a
bunch of weirdos you know you remind me
a lot of my daughter when she was your
age you may not see it now but one day
when you look back you’ll be grateful
for being weird
let’s try this new antenna so if I go to
a more open clearing I can get a better
connection exactly the trees and
buildings around here are obstructing
the signal as the International Space
Station passes by there’s only a short
window of time to make the connection
7:03 p.m. pointing upward following in
northeastern that there
let me try it why are you hitting it
like that back in the day when our
electronics malfunction we give him a
good old-fashioned whack

what would you ask the astronauts on the
ISS I think I’d ask him how it looks
from out there
in the great framework of things a life
is only a fraction of a second
in a universe that’s almost 14 billion
years old I’d like to hear from someone
outside of everything someone who
understands four really matters
