For the past few weeks we’ve been playing chess, ISS vs Mission Control. We each make about one move per day, and flight controllers help us with physically moving our pieces on the board at @NASA_Johnson. We are very much amateur chess players, but we were nevertheless victorious in game one. Game two is already underway!

Recognizing the contributions of Arthur C. Clarke on his birthday today. From literature to scientific theory to philosophy to space travel, Clarke made us think. He certainly made great use of his life, a great and worthy aspiration in its own right. Any favorite Clarke books?
