I juat found the missing link between 2 of my favorite tv shows #MASH and #Firefly: McLean Stevenson (Henry/MASH) is a cousin of Adlai Stevenson, who was the US embassador to the UN during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Adlai Stevenson was portrayed by Michael Fairman in the movie 13 Days about that crisis. The same, totally underrated, Michael Fairman who played Adelai(!) Niska in Firefly.

Yes! That's what I think about on Saturday mornings 😁

Oh and: RIP Loretta Switt

Two friends kept mentioning an old TV show called Firefly. I managed to find a boxset for 50p in a charity shop.

Is the reason they mentioned this show because there is a character called Book?

It's camp, on the nose, and mildly prophetic. And the dialogue is over-written.

One is intrigued.

Today's #Firefly Alpha launch was a total failure. "Initial indications showed Alpha's upper stage reached 320 km in altitude," the company now says in x.com/Firefly_Space/status/191: "However, upon further assessment, the team learned the upper stage did not reach orbital velocity, and the stage and payload have now safely impacted the Pacific Ocean in a cleared zone north of Antarctica."

Oops, the #Firefly Alpha launch with a test satellite didn't go well (as had already been speculated about in bsky.app/profile/cosmicpenguin by an independent observer): "there was a mishap during first stage separation for the FLTA006 mission that impacted the Stage 2 Lightning engine nozzle, putting the vehicle in a lower than planned orbit," says Firefly in x.com/Firefly_Space/status/191 now (the launch webcast, outsourced to a space fan organisation, hadn't mentioned any anomalies).

Bluesky Social · Cosmic Penguin (@cosmicpenguinov103.bsky.social)Something went really wrong around Alpha stage separation! I think the 1st stage blew up right after stage separation and the 2nd stage Viranda engine nozzle seems to be gone??? Somehow it's still flying under control though... @firefly-aerospace.bsky.social #MessageInABooster

"And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill'em right back.

Look, wife or no, you are no one's property to be tossed aside. You got the right, same as anyone, to live and try to kill people. I mean ... you know ... people that are ...

... That's a ... that's a dumb planet."
