A Icelandic volcanic eruption, for the people
An evening pause: Hat tip Rex Ridenoure.
From the press release: From the moment he is handed a possibility of making the first alien contact, Saunders Maxwell decides he will do it, even if doing so takes him through hell and back.
Unfortunately, that is exactly where that journey takes him.
The vision that Zimmerman paints of vibrant human colonies on the Moon, Mars, the asteroids, and beyond, indomitably fighting the harsh lifeless environment of space to build new societies, captures perfectly the emerging space race we see today.
He also captures in Pioneer the heart of the human spirit, willing to push forward no matter the odds, no matter the cost. It is that spirit that will make the exploration of the heavens possible, forever, into the never-ending future.

Beautiful, if I had a bucket list, this would be on it. To visit the birthplace / homeland of my grandmother…
And perhaps find some of those rock trolls she used to talk about.
My nephew had to move back to the states from Hawaii when his business was consumed by the eruption on the big island.
Stunning.
Iceland is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Volcano or not!
Many thanks to Rex Ridenoure for suggesting this one.
Thank you for this evening pause! I have been watching quite a few drone footage videos from the eruption, indeed there are even live cams ( just Google “Iceland volcano”) but this video puts it all nicely together. I am annoyed regarding the travel ban, that I cannot take the kids and go and have a look in real life…. It’s on my bucket list also Max…. And it’s only “up the road” for me.
indeed there are even live cams
Robert and I are old enough to have watched the Beatles doing “All You Need Is Love” live to the first worldwide satellite broadcast, and now I can watch a live feed of a volcano from ICELAND, for goodness sakes! I thought we’d have colonies on the Moon by now, but not this.
BTW, I have checked in oo this everyday since it started. This video shows the first fissure that the Internet named “Bob”. (much to the chagrin of Icelanders) Now Bob is just a little pimple compared to the main fissure now….named Ragnar.
Well behaved effusive lava.
Don’t try this with just any vent…
