I’ve been blown away this week and oh so proud of humanity’s accomplishment to go up to the International Space Station (what was it, 16 days?) to install Japan’s contribution to the station. I’m continually amazed, astounded, and in complete awe (adjectives are underrated at this point) at what we continue to accomplish in space.
Perhaps I don’t talk about my space obsession very often in my blog, but those who know me in real life often comment that I’m overly-obsessed with the universe, space, solar system… galaxies, stars… in general. It’s like… an infinite topic for me. When I created the recordings Zero Gravity 1 and 2, I finally combined my knowledge of science and the universe with erotic hypnosis for something really creative. Expect many more in the future dealing with space and hypnosis 
Anyway the main reason I’m writing is actually involving the International Space Station. I want to see it. I know I’ll never get the opportunity to go up in the sky (at least not in my mortal lifetime) and reach out and touch it… but I absolutely want to look at it from my home. I’ve had previous telescopes in the past, but none of them were on the grand scale to see something like that, and I know the timing and coordinates have to be just right. From my house in Bloomington, Indiana, I have windows of opportunity ranging from less than one minute to almost 6 minutes of “window opportunity” to see it from a telescope. I’m curious if any of you have had the pleasure of seeing the International Space Station from your telescopes, and if so… what model and brand would you recommend? Obviously, I need a good telescope (to see all the amazing things in the sky besides the Station), and telescopes can range from $30 to millions of dollars, depending on how far you want to see. I’d like to spend NO MORE than $2,000 for a nice telescope and want to get the highest value I can for that price. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.
And for those of YOU who want to see the International Space Station in the sky (almost any night of the week), here is the Station Sighting chart which will give you dates and times based on your city and state. If you get a chance to see it any time soon, I’d love to hear your thoughts on it. Could you see it with the naked eye? Did you need a low-powered telescope or a high-res one? How big did it appear to you? Could you make out any details or did it look like a dot?
Please tell! Obsessive minds want to know 
Oh yeah, before I forget…. did you know that there are literally, diamonds in the sky? They’re about 25,000 times smaller than a diamond in an engagement ring… but the carbon found in meteorites came in the form of nanodiamonds? How spectacular!!!! I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. When I die, I want to be cremated and have my remains sent off into deep space (it’s called “deep space cremation service“). It’ll cost me $12,500 to have that dream become reality, and I can’t afford it right now, but that money will certainly be saved up for that to come true. I want my energy in deep space when I die so that I can drift for millions of years and become part of space-time and spiral myself into various planets and become one with the creation of a new place.

P.S. In 20 more years, we’ll get to see a giant asteriod with the naked eye; one that is so big, it could be catastrophic for the whole planet and wipe out civilization completely! Fortunately for us, it will miss earth by 33,000 miles so we all get to live. But in 800 years, we probably won’t be so lucky.
