  When
we look up at the night sky, space appears as a vast and
empty void. This perception is a powerful illusion. The
region just above Earth's atmosphere, particularly Low Earth
Orbit (LEO), is now a bustling, crowded, and hazardous
environment. Decades of space activity have populated this
finite resource with thousands of active satellites,
thousands more defunct ones, and millions of pieces of
high-velocity shrapnel. For any new rocket attempting to
ascend from Earth, this orbital region is a gauntlet.

  Highway
2 crosses eleven different states: Washington, Idaho,
Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan,
New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. Road tripping
on this quiet highway requires more planning than a typical
interstate because there are long stretches of asphalt where
towns, gas stations, and restaurants are far and few in
between. It is especially important to top off on fuel
whenever you can and keep extra food, snacks, and water in
the car.

Russell Goodwin was an American painter and illustrator who
specialized in depictions of wildlife, the outdoors,
fishing, hunting and the Old American West. He provided
illustrations for numerous books and magazines, as well as
for commercial items, such as posters, advertisements and
calendars. I bought this shower curtain on sale from
menards.com for $3, finding it offered elsewhere on the
internet for $60. What a deal.
