I lived in Carnarvon, Western Australia for eight years, which these days is mostly noted for being one of the Big Dish communications locations for the moon landing and earlier tests. I got to know some of the men who were stationed there and on-the-job for the time arc in which the flight was tracked and managed only from that location. These old timers have nothing but praise and respect for the American launch team, often commenting on their professionalism and courtesy.

Don't know Carnarvon at all, but if nowhere has a middle it must be there.

I'd love to see a movie or short doco about John Glenn. He gets some props in Hidden Figures for showing respect to the women of colour calculators and went on to run the computers, and is very well known for always being an absolute gentleman and to hold equal rights. Probably wouldn't make as much money at the box office though.

I had the honor of meeting the man. Awesomeness just dripped from him. A true hero and gentleman from the old school.

"Right In Two"

Angels on the sideline,
Puzzled and amused.
Why did Father give these humans free will?
Now they're all confused.

Don't these talking monkeys know that
Eden has enough to go around?
Plenty in this holy garden, silly monkeys,
Where there's one you're bound to divide it.
Right in two.

Angels on the sideline,
Baffled and confused.
Father blessed them all with reason.
And this is what they choose.
And this is what they choose...

Monkey killing monkey killing monkey
Over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys give them thumbs,
They forge a blade,
And where there's one
They're bound to divide it,
Right in two.
Right in two.

Monkey killing monkey killing monkey.
Over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys give them thumbs.
They make a club.
And beat their brother, down.
How they survive so misguided is a mystery.

Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven conscious of his fleeting time here.

Gotta divide it all right in two [4x]

Fight 'til they die over wind, over sky
They fight over life, over prayer, over air and light
Over love, over sun, over another
They fight though they die over words polarizing.

Angels on the sideline again.
Benched along with patience and reason.
Angels on the sideline again
Wondering when this tug of war will end.

Gotta divide it all right in two [3x]
Right in two!

Right in two.
