MJ’s Travel Favorites 5-15-10

Since I’m on a crazy travel schedule and way behind in my travel blog reading, my usual round up weekly favorites will not appear today.  Instead, I’ll share with you a couple of favorite photos from yesterday’s trip to Kennedy Space Center, along with a question to ponder.

In a few decades.  Why can’t we use that same knowledge and determination to tackle and solve the other serious problems that we face?

  1. Very good point, Mary Jo. Shame we can’t focus our energies on root causes and solutions that make BIG differences.

    There’s a funny TV advert on here in the UK that is about a coffee product and it says “we tried 100% less packaging” (queue images of people carrying around beans in their hands/cars/bike baskets) “but we settled for 97%.” It’s funny but the right approach.

    We just have so much potential, that either goes unused or is misdirected, and I find it frustrating at times.
