"He slept that night in his own country and he had a dream wherein he saw God's pilgrims laboring upon a darkened verge in the last of the twilight of that day and they seemed to be returning from some deep enterprise that was not of war nor were they yet in flight but rather seemed coming from some labor to which perhaps these and all other things stood subjugate."
The Crossing, Cormac McCarthy

Scientists discover largest black holes ever recorded
Astronomers have recorded the biggest black holes ever detected — a pair of stellar monsters that somehow have managed to swallow the equivalent of 10 billion suns each.

“That’s a fairly healthy diet,” said James Graham of the University of Toronto, who is at a loss to explain how they grew so massive.

One of the black holes has a mass of 9.7 billion suns and lurks in the elliptical galaxy NGC 3842, the brightest galaxy near the Leo constellation 320 million light-years away.

Oh, Kara Thrace.

NASA and DARPA Plan ‘Hundred-Year Starship’ To Bring Humans to Other Worlds And Leave Them There Forever →

jonathan-cunningham:

NASA and DARPA have joined forces to build something called a Hundred-Year Starship, according to the director of NASA’s Ames Research Center. Simon “Pete” Worden said NASA contributed $100,000 to the project and DARPA kicked in $1 million.

“The human space program is now really aimed at settling other worlds,” Worden said, according to a Singularity University blog that covered the event. “Twenty years ago you had to whisper that in dark bars and get fired.” (Worden added that he was fired by President George W. Bush.)

Beyond that, there are no details. But the prospect of a DARPA-NASA spaceship collaboration for Star Trek-esque exploration sounds thrilling — even if by definition, a 100-year ship means leaving Earth and never coming back.

Two years after the death of Arthur C. Clark, science fiction begins to spill over into real life.

Yeah, to whoever wrote the above little caption: science fiction has always been spilling over into real life. That’s the whole point. It’s the logic of the present translated into a different space. But like ten years ago, we officially just got there. We stopped projecting. That’s why William Gibson doesn’t write science fiction or cyberpunk anymore; he writes global realism.

Anyway, the point is: this news article made me realize I have Moon PTSD.
