Up here—no, up here! In the saucer. I've been up here all day—these guys know how to party. They gave me the AUX, I'm spinning 80s astro pop. Come up and hear this sub, dude.

I've been reading Communion by Whitley Strieber, which is by now a famous alien abduction narrative and an alleged true story. Movies don't really keep me up at night anymore, but certain books do.

I'm the last person you'd expect to be eulogizing a robot, but the rover's story has made me reflect. It was art and science combined: photography and engineering, architecture and electronics, choreography and computing.

This is a playlist about stargazing, a suggestion courtesy of my friend Ariel, whom I've known for seven years now, which is about how long it took Cassini to get to Saturn.
