…look we can make trees grow, water flow, middle in the desert : )
…how dare they : ) it seems they had made a movie, a decade ago… in 2014, not in the 1920’s, not in 1960’s but in XXIst century, year 2014, they had made a movie or a drama, called it Noah, almost 3 hours long, they paid an actor who also played Gladiator (that was an action movie, fiction but who cares, even the real history of Rome, the half of it could be “fiction”, as if we really know everything about Romans… anyways, in that movie we could see a cool Roman general bravely facing his own fate, but now Noah… the same year 2014 significant events included NASA’s successful test flight of the Orion spacecraft, marking its debut for future deep-space missions, also the Rosetta spacecraft made history by landing a probe on a comet, showcasing major advancements in space exploration, that same year 2014 Hollywood again used Photoshop or After Effects to make some trees grow, some water flow, and they cycle it on my TV as if proudly saying “look what we’ve made, watch it NOW” – how dare they : ) for 2000 years we did the same with words, with scrolls, now as if words weren’t enough now Hollywood uses even light, magic, wizardry, sorcery, Houdini’s effects to troll us, look we can make trees grow middle in the desert cause God said so, shame on you Hollywood, we got over the “half of the half” of XXI-st century and you still continue the same as you did a century ago : )
…then I asked Internet for a list of major events in space exploration in 2014, I swear Internet didn’t mention Noah at all : ) – Internet said ok, here a short list, these events collectively marked 2014 as a pivotal year in the ongoing journey of space exploration and technology development…
