Humankind

A lot of people have written about the bad things humans have done, how they've introduced evil, or disturbed the harmony of mother nature, or created things like greed and corruption.

So in reply, I've decided to write this.

Since it would be impractical to reply to every comment made about human nature, instead, I'm not writing what humans aren't, but I'm writing what humans are. And to understand what humans are, first you must understand what nature is. Only then can you learn to see and appreciate what humans are.

Now, before I begin, don't take me wrong. I love animals. In fact, as I write, I have a wonderful cat on my lap that loves

A shot of a recent space shuttle flight in Orbiter [link] , over Africa. I think this one turned out rather well

The payload bay doors are open: they always are once the orbiter is in space, aside from an hour after Main Engine CutOff (MECO, end of launch) and about as much time before re-entry.
This is because in space, there's no air to cool off the shuttle, things can only lose heat by radiation of infrared light in space, which is about 1/3 as effective as losing heat is on Earth. So to keep cool, the inside of the payload bay doors are designed to radiate heat as part of an active system that keeps the shuttle at a comfy short-sleeve temperature for the crew.
