so I got a lot of crap in my office
people give me things and I collect
things and and I don’t know where to put
it
the only horizontal space available is
the space in front of books and so so I
guess in anybody’s house they’d be
called tchotchkes
but in my office this cosmic office
they’re all cosmically inspired
tchotchkes someone once gave me with
this ribbon on top Dole pineapple cosmic
fun shapes so these are pineapples
chunks each cut out in the shape of a
moon star planet and I just thought to
myself yeah the universe rocks because
would you put like DNA shapes you know
is it cosmic biology shapes oh here’s a
virus shake here I mean the universe
lends itself to this kind of thing now
I’ve had this can a little too long it’s
starting to bulge so I think it’s time
for me to get rid of this camp I’ve had
it for like years and years and years no
telling what’s going on inside of it
this is like I guess it’s Tabasco sauce
but what matters here is like there’s a
Space Shuttle on it all right and I
don’t know how hot the Tabasco sauce is
but they’ve got a Space Shuttle on it
and if it’s any temperature as it
closely relates to the temperature of
the exhaust of the Space Shuttle then
this would vaporize the bubble itself
I’ve got these petrushka dolls I love
them I was in Russia visiting outside of
Moscow you have Star City where that’s
like what Houston is to us the the seat
of their space program and these all
these dolls stack and unlike so many
other British go dolls that you might
find they have like faces of political
leaders and people who sort of come and
go in history and I thought I got to get
this one because it has Russian space
vehicles
so of course the littlest one is Sputnik
October 4th 1957 and then they get
bigger and bigger and bigger and the
last one is the International Space
Station
this is a paperweight with the logo of
NASA on it and no one under 30 even
understands why paper weights exist and
many of them don’t even know what one is
this is cool on this surface is a
blackened circular glass plate with
holes edged in it
those are constellations light comes
through these holes gets projected in
Reverse back out through this lens and
goes on the Dome of the planetarium this
is one of the lenses of the original
star projector of the Hayden Planetarium
what this is space food sticks I don’t
know what this is made of but if I’m on
earth and I have access to earth food
I’m not eating space food that’s that’s
my personal rule now I love just sitting
my office is reaching back and see what
my hand hits okay what do I got here
okay here we go
this is 1/6 of a circle and so 12
sextant you sight the Sun through these
filters look at its altitude with the
time of day you can triangulate you get
longitude latitude of this one thing
depending on what object
so I have one just as a reminder that we
didn’t always have GPS tell us where
grandma’s house
you
