Starship Wave eyeing a nice blue distant shiny planet ... never mind if they have the fuel and supplies to get there. Never mind if rationing should have started long ago. The planet is shiny and blue. Focus on that. To consider the fitness of the vehicle or its command is failing to see the big picture ... that distant shiny blue thing.

The irony is it is the stargazers that won't see the big picture. They won't take their eyes out of the telescope. Distant focus to the exclusion of everything else masquerades as big picture. Considering the distant object AND the ship, the path, and the command is somehow not seeing the big picture.

Deliberately seeing less masquerades as seeing more.

hi change,

it's a good point and one i missed.

not sure that countdown's posts do good or harm. i usually think that adding information is helpful. but if your optimism is misplaced and out of tune with results, maybe the information supplier is the problem.

or perhaps it is a mixture of goods and harms.

certainly, 2012 has been a debacle for the telescope people. but the delightful thing is, they are looking so far into the distance, the present hardly seems to matter to them. in 2020, all will be well and all shall be well and all kinds of things will be well.
