I just returned from breakfast at a small local place, and during the short course of said breakfast heard not one but TWO songs on pop music radio that had blatent space themes. One of them was also lyrically inane (take it from a songwriter), but that is beside the point. The first was called "Starship troopers" (?) and was basically some girl singing her heart to a fellow off in hyperspace... Sounded like something only a hardcore ConFilker could love, and yet it was on a top 40 type station in Belfast. Complete with bridge consisting of NASAese talk. "Roger. You are GO for translight..." The second (a bit better lyrically) was about aliens landing, and the "four of them standing there...not an illusion..." I wonder if Swift/Tuttle may be forcing a change in consciousness? Ie, that the rest of the universe isn't just sitting there, that parts of it could suddenly land in our very laps? ======== Swift/Tuttle is Mama Nature's way of saying it's time to get off the planet.
