This tweet from scientist Jacquelyn Gill (@JacqelynGill) went viral, and for good reason. The war on science continues, and she summed up this story perfectly into 3 sentences on Twitter.
The row has erupted after a key polar satellite broke down a few days ago, leaving the US with only three ageing ones, each operating long past their shelf lives, to measure the Arctic’s dwindling ice cap. Scientists say there is no chance a new one can now be launched until 2023 or later. None of the current satellites will still be in operation then.
No words can describe how much this angers the crap out of me.
A big batch of costume designs by John Mollo for STAR WARS and THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK.
We often kind of take them for granted, but costumes have to be designed, made, tailored: they have to enhance a character without drawing too much attention to themselves (unless that’s the intention of course). John Mollo’s designs were all very effective, and tasteful, modest but memorable, making him just one of the great minds at work behind the scenes of Star Wars.
(The first image shows Mollo’s design for Lando, the last one depicts Zuckuss. The others should be obvious.)
