🌝 Artist: #WOSK 💕 / #Woskerski in City: #Paris #JointvilleLePont /112 Av. Jean d'Estienne d'Orves/ France 🇨🇵 11/2024 - Title: "Laundry Day" 🧦 - #Art #Streetart #Artist #SprayArt #LeSpot #Astronauts #Moon

Streetartwall. A funny mural with a scene on the moon was sprayed/painted on the huge concrete pillars under a bridge. The large concrete wall has a V-shape that forms a corner in the middle. The mural is designed with few colors, the background is dark grey and on it you can see a grey lunar landscape in which two astronauts are walking through the area. In front, an astronaut in a white protective suit stands next to an empty crate and a washing line is stretched across the wall. On it hang a pair of protective pants, a T-shirt and a pair of white socks. Today is laundry day on the moon.
Info: There is another mural by the artist entitled "Le Eggsplosion" at the same location.

"I think the success of a book, or whether it's saying to the reader what you want it to say, lies in the question of whether the thing that was in my heart when I wrote it might be in some way deposited into the reader's heart when they read it."

"...to be reminded of the earth's weird loveliness, but also see it as something that's quite robust. It's us who are in trouble -- the Earth will be fine. It's not the Earth we need to save, it's ourselves and all the other creatures on it."

Stuck NASA astronauts welcome SpaceX capsule that’ll bring them home next year.

AP reports: "SpaceX launched the rescue mission on Saturday with a downsized crew of two astronauts and two empty seats reserved for Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who will return next year. The Dragon capsule docked in darkness as the two craft soared 265 miles (426 kilometers) above Botswana."
