Something truly beautiful but sadly transient due to the nature of the desert...

Remote memorials...?





Scott's cabin remains almost unchanged since he left it on his ill-fated journey to the South Pole and his marker is certainly remote... the bodies of Scott and his comrades are estimated to have moved 30 miles from their original position and (more extreme global-warming excluded) will reach the sea in about 275 years...

Gene Roddenberry is among an elite group of people to have had a portion of their remains placed in space; "Scotty" joined him in '12 and "Nurse Chapel" will join (scheduled) her husband in '14; but none (presently) more remote nor more unique that of Dr Eugene Shoemaker, who had a portion of his ashes land on the moon along with Lunar Prospector in '99...
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Tastefully done.
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...
