i love how this album was one of the first ones to break the standards of the typical hip hop albums using famous photos to show what was happening in society. these photos used in the album represented “visual failure in society.” things fall apart was a step towards social activism both in their music and imagery. by kn

now i know kanye west and donald trump are the real genius’ out there but before elon, there was the incredible nasa saturn program and the german super villain engineer, and SS party member, dr. wernher von braun (the man behind the Nazi V2 rocket at peenemunde during world war II) who after the war “helped” take the first US astronaut to outer space and eventually to the moon.
rockets of the world by country – amazed at some of the tiny countries and their tiny rockets…
I had the pleasure of meeting and having breakfast with astronaut buzz aldrin (brag) so I may be biased, but here are 2 great documentaries that i enjoyed watching. if link is broken try and search for “nasa doco – the the moon – Pt1 – awesome” its a national geographic docu that is no longer available unfortunately…
enjoy – amazing to see how they risked it all to go into the unknown, the fogging up of the astronaut helmets, the first EVAs and 170 beat per minute heartbeat, one astronaut lost 10.5 lbs in just 2 hours of EVA – upon return they discovered 2 lbs of sweat in the shoes of his space suits. fascinating and impressive. by uh
