Thank you, Katie for telling me about this! MythBusters takes on conspiracy theorists to determine whether or not the moon landing was a hoax. The results are in: Busted. You can watch part 1 and part 2 on YouTube. But I would like to see the complete episode sometime.

Here’s a brief sum up of 1965’s “Anybody Seen Jeannie?” from I Dream of Jeannie where Tony, the fictitious astronaut is scheduled to go to the moon. The intro is always a pleasure to watch and it shows an animated version of a Project Mercury-like capsule.

P.S. You can also watch minisodes of Bewitched here.

Artificiality

Cavil:	In all your travels have you ever seen a star supernova?
Ellen:	No.
Cavil:	No. Well I have. I saw a star explode and send out the building blocks of the universe. Other stars, other planets and, eventually other life. A supernova. Creation itself. I was there. I wanted to see it. And be part of the moment. And you know how I perceived one of the most glorious events in the universe? With these ridiculous gelatinous orbs in my skull. With eyes designed to perceive only a tiny fraction of the EM spectrum. With ears designed only to hear vibrations in the air.
Ellen:	The five of us designed you to be as human as possible.
Cavil:	I don’t want to be human! I want to see gamma rays! I want to hear x-rays, and I want to smell dark matter. Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I can’t even express these things propery because I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid limiting spoken language. But I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws, and feel the solar wind of a supernova flowing over me. I’m a machine, and I can know much more. I could experience so much more, but I’m trapped in this absurd body and why? Because my five creators thought that God wanted it that way.

Otis Redding on Ready Steady Go! with a cameo from a young Eric Burdon. I wish I had a VHS player so I could spend some time with Katie’s RSG! tapes. The dancers keep going and going non-stop. I also spy some great hair inspiration in the crowd.

I downloaded the entire UFO tv series. Remember her? She’s Nick Drake’s sister.
