Day 1 To the Moon,Alice Straight to the Moon!

Upon this new year NASA has begun a new adventure....or possibly revisiting an old one. Mission to the Moon 

The cruise to the moon took 3 1/2 months and covered 2.5 million miles...alot longer than the Apollo back in 1969, which was a mere 3 days. Over the New Years weekend a pair of NASA spacecraft arrived back to back to their destinations in the first mission devoted to studying lunar gravity.

The moon and it's phases fascinate me, I find it beautiful. On New Years Eve spaceship "Grail-A" flew over the south pole, fired it's engine and dropped into lunar orbit, while it's twin "Grail-B" did the same the following day. Data collection will not begin until March and the trip is slated to end in June.

Day 7

To end this week's subject the ultimate Heroin song can only be Heroin by The Velvet Underground. 

It was released in 1967 on their debut album The Velvet Underground & Nico. 

Lou Reed wrote the song in 1964...in 2004 it was placed at #455 of ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE TOP 500 SONGS OF ALL TIME. It is also included in The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame's top 500 songs that shaped rock n roll 

FABULOUS cover by Opal...with the stunning voice of Hope Sandoval(from Mazzy Star),1988

another cover by Beck, it's pretty good. There are alot of covers of the song...some of them in my opinion just terrible...reinterpreted just too much...so this will be the last.
