Japanese Company Announces Plans to Build 20,000-Mile-High Space Elevator by 2050

Now a Japanese company specializing in major infrastructure projects called The Obayashi Corporation has announced plans to build a space elevator by 2050, with the aim of taking tourists 20,000 miles above the planet’s surface.

Quoi de neuf Lenny et Larry? Maintanant obtenir dans mon ventre!

Vegan chocolate and cherry cupcake (minus the cherry because I ate it). Compliments of whole foods. Apparently while I was posting this an earthquake happened in Richmond, Va and was felt in goldsboro. Just what we need for the looney Christians to move forward with their Goddamned “the world is ending/the rapture is upon us” shenanigans. On another note I’m disappointed that I missed the excitement!

Single file, just like in elementary school. Some things you never forget…

Neat piece of art I saw in Jax…

Tofu and veggies! I swear I eat this every other day….
