I simply call this blog: What I have to do to be able to comply with the 200kB file size limit for photos...
The photo was originally taken with my 4.0 megapixel Fuji Film Model S3100 digital camera... However, the photo contained too much information in order for me to be able to attach it to this blog... So, I opened the my pictures folder, located the photo that I wanted to put in this blog, and re photographed it with a cheap Wal-Mart brand pen size digital camera. The reason why I did not use the pen camera in the first place was because it cannot take photos of anything that is more than about 300 meters from the camera...
As you can see, the results are somewhat ok... At least the general subject matter is visible. The photo is of the Vechicle Assembly Building or VAB at Kennedy Space Center Florida from a distance of about 20km (or about 5 miles) from the VAB... For those who don't know this is where the Space Shuttle is attached to its external fuel tank and solid rocket boosters prior to launch...
The VAB was also where the Apollo Program's Saturn V Rockets were prepared for launch.
When things go crazy in my life, sometimes, I like to look at the VAB to remind me of all of the good times in my life. The VAB has a beauty all its own... Besides, the lagoons and the vegetation near the VAB are also quite beautiful... As you can see, I love talking about the history of the US Space Program.
That was the good about the US... There are many problems in the US... One example is the growing gap between the rich and the poor... I read an article at msn.com about this subject... While income for the poorest people in the US has grown only about 2 percent in the last ten years, the growth of income for the economic elite has grown more than 200 percent...
I am not against the American concept of hard work in order to make it ... However, the gap between the rich and poor cannot be ignored... It seems especially true in the part of Cocoa Florida where I live that there are a lot of people who work more than 60 hours a week and still cannot survive on what they earn... No offense to my fellow Americans who might read this, but this very fact should make us realize that our country is totally screwed up...
Finally, I would say that the worst problem facing my country is the fact that health care is not universal... What I mean is that there are about 30 million people who don't have any form of health insurance what so ever... Basically for those who are from outside the US, if you don't have heatlh insurance, more than likely you don't have access to health care. This is because the cost of health care services is so expensive that only those with health insurance or those who are members of America's economic elite can afford
the health care services that they need... This is not right at all...
America needs to change or this once great nation will die... It is that is plan and simple...
Well that's about it for now...
