Ireland or Eire, if you're looking for authenticity, has joined our Planet's space nations by launching a satellite into orbit on Friday December 1, 2023. Oh yes this is true. The satellite was launched from Vandenberg AirForce base on a SpaceX Falcon 9 Musk mobile. Seems an odd name for a rocket but what the hell, this is Elongated Musk that's behind SpaceX so I suppose the Musk can call his rockets any fucking thing he likes. I tossed the 'fucking' in there on account of Musk pitched a man-fit the other day at a press conference he was attending to explain why his X/Tweeter thingy is going broke. Off topic to be certain. The important part to all of this is Ireland's launching a satellite into orbit and good on the Irish. So, Ireland's satellite was created by engineering students as part of doctoral stuff necessary to obtain PhD's and that's some heady dang thesis work no doubt. Engineering students ... college thesis work has come a long way from back in the day when thesis work required hours of hand written crap-o-la that had to be rewritten again and then again and then maybe just maybe that aforementioned thesis gained acceptance by a graduation thesis committee who then filed that thesis away in secret college thesis vaults where all thesis' are kept till time immemorial. Once a thesis is accepted for accreditation its usefulness is no longer necessary. I always found that aspect of earning a degree to be abject bullshit. I did NOT get along with university arrogant pricks that figured that if you wanted a college degree, well, you had better do things their way or fuck off. I did the latter of the two. Obviously. Anyway, the Irish engineering kids named their satellite "Leprechaun-!." Not really, I'm poking sport at the Irish engineering students. Their satellite is named EIRsat-!. Don't take it all personal Irish engineering students, that's just me being a wiseass and I do that a lot. Hey ... everyone should have a hobby. Now for our Saturday installment of machine art.

sometimes I get a nice surprise seeing what manner of image the machine will spit out after some prompting. then again, sometimes the image goes straight into the dumper. 😏
