This is 😎 cool.

Those that follow new horizons will never be satisfied, and always be justified.

Space as a multicultural.

Necessary actions

Is this just the result of all the generations of Trekies (Star trek) the TV series 1996 -1969 coming to age. We think not! Its more likely a mix of mans curiosity and pragmatic need to know the way to live and survive and to react to the powers that keep human life going.

The dynamics of survival dictate from time to time a cooperation to the sane and rational and have preserved the species as whole over that time. This cooperation seems always to need a larger then normal operating field than that of the individual participants, giving the value to space and its sharing of risk benefit return a credibility.

So good luck in your share of this dynamic and lets hope its more then entertainment.

This is a Norway /Denmark/ UK “2012”Β . The film has a G rating.

The filmΒ is aboutΒ  travel by raft by Thor Heyerdahl.Β The voyageΒ Β was usedΒ to documentΒ ability ofΒ migration ofΒ Polynesian people from South AmericaΒ in antiquity. The film will be with outΒ violence and intrigueΒ and should beΒ a pleasant departure from some of the programing we are used to seeing.

The raft traveled an average of 42.5 miles a day and the voyage took 101 days.Β  The navigation was not aided by modern navigation and reliedΒ on currents such as the Humboldt current and winds. This filmΒ is based on aΒ true story of naturalist endeavor.

The film starts at 7:30 and season ticket holders need to be there before 7:15 to make sureΒ of seating. No food or drink in the lecture theater. There is free parking at the college. NVIT is at 4155 Belshaw Avenue Merritt BC Canada.

The NicolaΒ naturalistsΒ had their presentation last night andΒ  DR KerridgeΒ told all about bats. He dispelledΒ some beliefs in particular, bats are not blind but prefer sonar for hunting. He kept bats and said they were expensiveΒ to keep as he had to buy expensiveΒ meal wormsΒ and toss themΒ up toward the ceiling.

About 60 people enjoyed the presentations including the local preamble, of slides and stats. the christmas bird countΒ was related of interest were the 13 Great Blue Herons counted.
