I like these new guys though – if youre still here by the end of this – there’s something new for you to play with at the bottom. Higgledy f*kn piggledy HARD I think about this Kennedy speech nearly every week: We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; We can pick our hard, or we can have it thrust upon us without…
