Do not several sorts of rays make vibrations of several bignesses, which according to their bigness excite sensations of several colours, much after the manner that the vibrations of the air, according to their several bignesses excite sensations of several sounds? and particularly do not the most refrangible rays excite the shortest vibrations for making a sensation of deep violet, the least refrangible the largest form making a sensation of deep red, and several intermediate sorts of rays, vibrations of several intermediate bignesses to make sensations of several intemediate colours?

Why is the media doing what they're doing? well, there are many answers for it. i don't mean to be insulting anybody here. clearly, the media hates trump, yeah, and clearly the media's a bunch of leftists and they don't like trump's policies, and clearly this and clearly that. but there's another factor to this, too, that i don't think can be denied - and i think they're scared to death. donald trump is unraveling, bit by bit, major elements of the barack obama agenda.

I am convinced that of all the people on the two sides of the great curtain, the space pilots are the least likely to hate each other. like the late erich von holst, i believe that the tremendous and otherwise not quite explicable public interest in space flight arises from the subconscious realization that it helps to preserve peace. may it continue to do so!
