A Comparitive Stat on the Moon

Pull the moon tangent to the earth and inscribe a circle to contain both. What is the diameter of such a circle? It is 31,680 miles. Enclose the earth in a square. What is its perimeter? It is 31,680 miles. Very interesting don't you think? We can do a lot from here but a space, that exhibits such relationships, seems to provide a compelling calling.

The Moon

As I am working on an art project focused on the moon I thought it appropriate to add some entries in regards to my fasination with that object. As we all learned in school, the moon is responsible for setting and maintaining most all of the rythms of life on earth. Imagine that a rock in space could have that power of influence on our planet and its biosphere. It's location and size make it ideal for these patterns for biological surface life as we know it. The Sun prov [...]

NASA, Space and the New Direction for Development

I applaud Obama's new direction for space exploration. It provides NASA with a focus for its mission. It will also help to foster the development of the commercial Space Industry. It brings clarity that has been missing in the past. This will allow the creation of new captial investment in Space thus accelerating progress.

Clarity is one of the missions that I always thought was primary in realtion to an effective goverments role. People&nb [...]

A New Direction for Space Art

jim@hullart.com — Fri, 08 May 2009 02:00:00 +0100

Historically space art has been focused on the lesser of the contents of space. It has almost exclsuively focused on the material aspects of the universe. The ironic thing is that these material aspcets only make up 4% of the visible universe. Why haven't we focused on the other 96%? Because the 4% is more obvious. It is easier to create a representation of material objects than suggest what may be the contents of the other 96%. This leads me to another supposition. If it i [...]

Matter or Space

jim@hullart.com — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 02:00:00 +0100

Why do we spend so much of our time exploring the material aspects of space when they represent so little of the Universe? I think it is because the variety and evolution of the material part of the universe is evident to our five senses. But if all is an integrated whole then one could hypothesize that space(the void) too has more variety and is evolving although beyond our limited sensory perception. Perhaps the 'void' is m [...]

Moon X Prize

jim@hullart.com — Tue, 20 May 2008 14:00:00 +0100

AA recent article in Popular Mechanics covered the criteria and goals of the Moon X Prize. While interesting they do not require that the rover do any science which is one item that I think they left off of the qualifying critieria for winning the prize. Like the Apollo program they have overlooked the key element or reason for going to the moon which is to learn more about ourselves and our origins. If they had added the necessity for some type of meaningful and successful scientific experim [...]

Moon Property Rights

jim@hullart.com — Sun, 18 May 2008 14:00:00 +0100

A recent article in Popular Mechanics discussed the idea of private property rights for the Moon. I for one am in favor as it has been shown historically that it enhances progress and protection. The individual has always been the primary force behind development and protection. Wheter it is in hte arts or sciences the individual comes first as he or she has the internal creative power and built in moral imperative that has seen to best address the needs of new territiores and discoveries. As [...]
