Marijewuana

Half-asian, half-australian 19 year-old comic-book loving, super gaming, TV show and movie watching, guitarist (and singer...?) from Hong Kong that feels most like an American but I hate American society, so basically, I have no nationality (as I've never lived in Oz before, rarely visit, and then don't even speak Cantonese or Chinese). Oh, and I'm not Jewish... I just enjoy making jew jokes and marijuana.

Oh, my name is Lyndsay. You know, like Lindsay Lohan except I have male genitals... I just moved to Brisbane, Australia to study Music at QUT so follow me if you stumble by my Tumblr and are at QUT too.

I post a lot of The Office, Community, awesome movies and a lot of classic rock icons. That and general lulz or gamer stuff occasionally.

I am also the person behind the HowdoIshotwebzzz tumblr that posts Spider-Man memes.

snowofkilimanjaro: “you know the astronauts left a bunch of garbage in space, right?” “you know that space is literally infinite, right?”  I believe that people do not fully appreciate the the space program of the mid-20th century. People do not understand how absolutely incredible it is that human beings have left Earth and walked on the Moon. Not only is it incredible, but it is just about absurd that we did it only 66 years after the first successful powered flight. 66 years. What were the technological advances in the years between 1330 and 1396? How slowly has humanity progressed over the thousands and thousands of years that our species has developed? In 66 short years we went from the babysteps of aviation to the Moon. And, just to add some excitement to the mix, we (Americans) had a race with the Soviets. They started to launch satellites and people into space, and we had to play catch up. In 1962, President Kennedy promised the world that an American would land, and safely return from, the Moon. What an incredible promise. The American ethos surely must have been at its absolute apex at this point. The first declaration of a near-impossible challenge: expanding humanity into space. The Americans had expanded across the continent from ocean to ocean, the vast waters that had isolated humanity for so long, and now they looked to stars as their new frontier. President Kennedy’s promise would have been impossible just 5 years earlier, but America, its people, its economy, its culture, and its spirit, was poised to do the impossible. Kennedy proves the American vigor by saying that they choose to go to space and the Moon, “not because they are easy, but because they are hard.”  Can you imagine being an American citizen at this moment? The excitement you would feel at this challenge? The thrill of the possibility of humanity leaving the planet?  To me, the Space Race is an underrated moment in history, specifically in regards to the Cold War. A complete cultural victory for the United States, but yet such an important achievement for all mankind. The 6 plaques on the lunar surface say: “Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon in July 1969, A.D. We came in peace for all mankind.”
