I feel like this month has been far more active on the Space subject than previous months for me – that is, on the end of launches and active flights. I’m actually overdue on mentioning a few other launches since they all occurred around the same time as the launches that I have covered – which also happened around a time I was a little too busy to write about them on-time. Basically, yep – another backlog!
This is kind of funny because I started off this month with absolute frustration regarding the space community on a whole. This hasn’t changed, but I’m not going to let that frustration stop me from enjoying a good Falcon 9 or Atlas V launch!
I’ve tried to avoid, for this month, addressing the typical subjects with regards to space, but honestly I think by November I’m going to let loose with the remainder of the main, broad points I have been needing to make regarding the fans of one particular launch services provider. It’s getting absurd.
Back to the subject of space, though, I sometimes ask myself why I share every launch like I do; I believe I mentioned before that I was planning on no longer covering launches, but I guess I backed away from that stance, either for the sake of having content or the fact that I just love a good old rocket launch. Probably both.
My passion for space exploration is still there. My love of watching those machines take off and put a payload into orbit, or send something off to another world, is as strong as ever, but my ability to tolerate discussion about such seems to be at its limits.
That being said, I know I’m overdue on many tech and gaming related entries. Those will come. For now, though, I’ve got a backlog that seems to be never ending, and article publishing constants that make me wonder if I’ll ever get around to addressing it all.
Back to the grind, I guess.
