I’m loath to do free PR for billionaire vanity projects, but this announcement by Blue Origin is pretty stellar, pun intended. Solar panels made from only lunar regolith with no water and no carbon emissions (assuming carbon free electricity) is some pretty incredible sci-fi shit.

Jillian and I watched Too Funny to Fail, a documentary about the short-lived Dana Carvey Show from the mid-90s. I knew it had some talented people on it, but the roster was deeper than I remembered - Steve Carell, Steven Colbert, Louis C.K., and Charlie Kaufman (!) were all actors or writers on the show.

The whole movie is worth a watch, but if you only have 2 minutes, watch this clip about how far off-tone the Dana Carvey Show was as a follow-up to Home Improvement.
