  Pensieri Notturni #fb

  capisco come la poetica leopardiana sul fascino dell’attesa sia romantica, affascinante, molto sensibile alle emozioni personali ma profondamente incompleta ed immatura. quale sabato! oggi scelgo la domenica, grazie!
  
  meglio un dinamismo fattivo
  
  “io non ho paura di quello che desidero, quindi quando l’ottengo, me lo prendo” questo il risultato del mental di oggi
  
  e basta una singola firma su di un singolo foglio di carta domattina per iniziare a sconfiggere sul serio una paura decennale. quella di gxxxx hahahah non qui ;)

  “io mi sento pronto. io mi lascio alle spalle quella mia paura. quella mia paura e’ ingiustificata. io affronto la situazione sciolto e positivo”
  
  .. scrivo qui, perche’ non posso ancora inserire i “propositi” nelle sessioni di training.. mi han detto che sarebbe controproducente. devo prima finire gli esercizi base. tra parentesi, domani inizio l’esercizio del controllo cardiaco!!

  li annoto qui.. questi propositi spuntano come funghi in autunno, quindi non posso rischiare che si perdano per strada..
  
  sono le 3 11 am e una parte di me scende dal volo 2039. iera ora.

  Ecco il Teorema sugli Universi Paralleli ;)

  Di cui riporto fedelmente l’enunciato, che si commenta da solo essendo il risultato del mio odierno sogno delle 7 am. Qualcuno forse sa spiegarmi da dove saltano fuori i vaneggi di un tale sogno Spazio-Temporale?
  
  Teorema (di Leto).

  Si parti all’istante T1A di un Universo A e si visualizzi un istante T2 nel Futuro. Sia X l’Universo di cui si sia visualizzato il Futuro, dove X è una incognita, che in linea di principio potrebbe essere a A, B, C, … Partendo da T2X si torni indietro all’istante T1. Sia Y l’Universo in cui si torna indietro, dove Y è un’altra incognita, che in linea di princio potrebbe essere A, B, C,…
  
  Si ha che:
  
  i) Y!=A
  
  cioè “Non e’ più possibile visualizzare il Passato di un Universo del quale si sia visualizzato il Futuro”.
  
  e che:
  
  ii) Y = X
  
  cioè “Non e’ possibile visualizzare il Passato di un Universo diverso dal nostro: se si ottiene una immagine del Passato, questa appartiene al nostro Universo”.
  

  
  Corollario 1.

  i) e ii) implicano che:
  
  iii) X!=A
  
  cioè che “E’ possibile visualizzare il Futuro solo di Universi diversi dal nostro”.
  

  
  Corollario 2.

  ii) implica che “Se ottengo una immagine del Futuro, il mio Universo di partenza collassa nell’Universo di cui si è visualizzata l’immagine del Futuro” e che “Gli Universi non hanno durata temporale infinita”.
  

  
  Corollario 3.

  ii) e iii) implicano che “La linea temporale degli Universi Paralleli è unica, cioè è possibile spostarsi in Universi Paralleli solo in una direzione, quella del Futuro”.

  Correcting follower and following counts

  twitterstatus:

  For some time, the follower and following counts we display have been incorrect for some folks. We’re soon to push a change that will address this issue. This means that the count you see in your sidebar should match what you see on your follower and following pages.

  However, a consequence of this change is that follower counts will drop for some people. In particular, those with large followings may see significant changes as we correct for spam accounts and data inconsistencies. No legitimate followings should be affected—we’re just cleaning up artifacts in the system.

  Intense #apollo11 maneuvers after returning from revolution no. 13!

  Eagle is undocked!

  Capsule Communicator: Hello, Eagle. Houston. We’re standing by. Over.
  Capsule Communicator: Eagle, Houston. We see you on the steerable. Over.
  Neil Armstrong: Roger. Eagle is undocked.
  Capsule Communicator: Roger. How does it look, Neil?
  Neil Armstrong: The Eagle has wings.
  Capsule Communicator: Roger.
  Neil Armstrong: Looking good.

  Mission Time - about 100 h 14 min

  
  Eagle - Columbia: GO for Separation

  Capsule Communicator: Apollo 11, Houston. You are looking good for separation. You are GO for separation, Columbia. Over.

  Mission Time - about 100 h 35 min

  (Columbia and Eagle are already undocked - the separation burn has been performed by Mike Collins in the command module to give the Lunar Module and the Command&Service; Module a separation distance of about 1100 feets, at the beginning of the descent orbit insertion maneuver)

  
  Funny Comments:

  Michael Collins (from Columbia): I think you’ve got a fine looking flying machine there, Eagle, despite the fact you’re upside-down.
  Neil Armstrong (from Eagle): Somebody’s upside-down.

  Mission Time - 100 h 38 min

  #apollo11 - day 5 - funny morning news Capsule Communicator: Among the large headlines concerning Apollo this morning there's one asking that you watch for a lovely girl with a big rabbit. An ancient legend says a beautiful Chinese girl called Chango has been living there for 4,000 years. It seems she was banished to the moon because she stole the pill for immortality from her husband. You might also look for her companion, a large Chinese rabbit, who is easy to spot since he is only standing on his hind feet in the shade of a cinnamon tree. The name of the rabbit is not recorded.
  Buzz Aldrin: Okay, we'll keep a close eye for the bunny girl.
  Capsule Communicator: Roger. You residents of the spacecraft, Columbia, may be interested in knowing that today is Independence day in the country of Columbia. Gloria Dies of the Phillipines was crowned Miss Universe last night. She defeated 60 other girls for the Global beauty title. Miss Dies is 18 with black hair and eyes and measures 34 and 1/2, 23, 34 and 1/2. First runner up was Miss Australia, followed by Miss Israel and Miss Japan.

  Funny #apollo11 comments

  The following are couple of funny comments made by the commentators (not by the Apollo 11 crew):

  
  

  The weather is certainly GO. It’s a beautiful morning for a launch to the Moon.

  Apollo/Saturn Launch Control commentator, at about 22 minutes away from the planned liftoff

  
  

  After having breakfast and getting all squared away after the night’s rest period, the crew will have a rather busy day including the first man landing on the moon.

  Lunar Module just wants to head down! Michael Collins: It looks like that LM just wants to head down towards the surface, is all.
  Capsule Communicator: Roger. I have a comment here that says that's what the LM was built for.
  Michael Collins: I believe!
  Michael Collins: And as the Moon sinks slowly in the west, Apollo 11 bids good day to you.
  Capsule Communicator: Roger. We sort of thought it was the Sun setting in the east.
  Michael Collins: Well, it depends on your point of view.
  Capsule Communicator: Roger. Out.
  Mission Time - about 79 h

  #apollo11 - First Moon descriptions by Neil and Buzz

  
  

  Apollo 11 is getting its first view of the landing approach. This time we are going over the Taruntius crater, and the pictures and maps brought back by Apollo 8 and 10 have given us a very good preview of what to look at here. It looks very much like the pictures, but like the difference between watching a real football game and watching it on TV. There’s no substitute for actually being here.
  

  Neil Armstrong, Apollo 11 - Mission Time: 76 h 35 m

  
  

  We’re going over the Messier series of craters right at the time, looking vertically down on them, and Messier A we can see good sized blocks in the bottom of the crater. I don’t know what our altitude is now, but in any case, those are pretty good size blocks.
  

  Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, Apollo 11 - Mission Time: 76 36 m
  
  

  Currently going over Maskelyne Mas - And Boothill, Duke Island, Sidewinder, looking at Maskelyne W, that’s the yaw round checkpoint,
  and just coming into the terminator. At the terminator it’s ashen and gray. As you get further away from the terminator, it gets to be a lighter gray, and as you get closer to the subsolar point, you can definitely see browns and tans on the ground, according to the last Apollo 11 observation anyway.
  
  And landing site is well into the dark here. I don’t think we’re going to be able to see anything of the landing site this early.

  #apollo11 - time for a Lunar Orbit Insertion!

  Crew is attempting the Lunar Orbit Insertion (LOI) maneuver number 1 which is taking place behind the Moon out of communications.

  Simply exciting ;)

  #apollo11 - The other side of the Moon Capsule Communicator: Apollo 11, this is Houston. All your systems are looking good going around the corner, and we'll see you on the other side. Over.
  Neil Armstrong: Roger.
  Neil Armstrong: Everything looks okay up here.
  Capsule Communicator: Roger. Out.
  Mission Time - 75 h 42 m

  Almost done for day 3 on the spacecraft..

  Apollo 11 is at about 183,000 nautical miles from earth and its velocity is about 3042 feet per second. There were some communication problems and the air-to-ground signal has been turned off for a while.The crew has recently reestablished the Passive Thermal Control rotation rate of 3 revolutions per hour and completed all the steps on checklists F9-7.

  After some checks, both the crew and Huston confirmed a good PTC value. This was the good night for mission’s day 3.

  Capsule Communicator: Apollo 11, Houston. Would you please select OMNI Bravo? Over.
  Michael Collins: Roger. Bravo.
  Michael Collins: Houston, Apollo 11. How do you read on Bravo?
  Capsule Communicator: Roger. Reading you five-by.
  Michael Collins: Same here.
  Capsule Communicator: Apollo 11, Houston. Looks like we’ve got a good PTC going. It’s good night from the White Team. Over.
  Michael Collins: Okay. See you tomorrow. Thank you for everything.

  From the voice transcription, I see that there will be about another half hour of conversation before the actual rest period.

  And this is my last note for today, too. 4:23 am in my local timezone ;)

  I have understood that the mission control can “cut” some air-to-ground dialogues and broadcast them later, after a short comment. I’m not sure now, too tired, but I think this explains the differences I were noticing today between the nasa tv stream and that from wechoosethemoon.org.

  Will check that tomorrow.
