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.

Kon-Tiki

The Nicola Valley Film Society is putting on Kon Tiki on February 17th at 7:30 PMย  in the Lecture Theater of the Nicola Valley Institute of Technology.

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

The filmย is aboutย  travel by raft by Thor Heyerdahl.ย The voyageย ย was usedย to documentย ability ofย migration ofย Polynesian people from South Americaย in antiquity. The film will be with outย violence and intrigueย and should beย 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.ย  The navigation was not aided by modern navigation and reliedย on currents such as the Humboldt current and winds. This filmย is based on aย true story of naturalist endeavor.

The film starts at 7:30 and season ticket holders need to be there before 7:15 to make sureย 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.

It’s good that it is friday….

The Nicolaย naturalistsย had their presentation last night andย  DR Kerridgeย told all about bats. He dispelledย some beliefs in particular, bats are not blind but prefer sonar for hunting. He kept bats and said they were expensiveย to keep as he had to buy expensiveย meal wormsย and toss themย up toward the ceiling.

Some species of bats have been clocked at 90 km an hour.

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

Some cormets and humming birds were also of interest.
