    In the 60’s, space exploration was an American obsession. This hour of Radiolab, charting the path from romance to increasing cynicism.

    We begin with Ann Druyan, widow of Carl Sagan, with a story about the Voyager expedition, true love, and a golden record that travels through space. And astrophysicist Neil de Grasse Tyson explains the Coepernican Principle, and just how insignificant we are.

    Google and the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory (NMCM) announced today that the new Nelson Mandela Digital Archive is now live on the web, freely accessible to the global public.

    Methodistchurchmembershipcard

    Googles Cultural Institute builds tools to preserve cultural heritage and make it accessible worldwide. Other projects include showcasing the Dead Sea Scrolls, presenting thousands of works of art online through the Art Project, and the digitisation of the  Yad Vashem Holocaust materials.

    To start exploring the Nelson Mandela archive visit: http://archive.nelsonmandela.org

    For an example of how you might explore the archive:

    You might be interested in Nelson Mandela’s personal memories of the time he was incarcerated and click into the Prison Years exhibit. You can immediately see a curated set of materials threaded together into a broader narrative. Included are: handwritten notes on his desk calendars, which show, for example, that he met President F.W. De Klerk for the first time on December 13, 1989 for two and a half hours in prison; the Warrants of Commital issued by the Supreme Court which sent him to prison; the earliest known photo of Nelson Mandela’s prison cell on Robben Island circa 1971; and a personal letter written from prison in 1963 to his daughters, Zeni and Zindzi, after their mother was arrested, complete with transcript.  From there, you might want to see all the letters held by the archive, and click ‘see more’ in the letters category, where you can discover all personal letters, or use the time filter to explore his diaries and calendars written between 1988 and 1998, where you can see that in the last page of the last diary, he met with President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni of Uganda to exchange ideas about the situation in northern Uganda. If you were a researcher, you can search through various fragments of Madiba’s memory that relate to Ahmed Kathrada, his long time comrade, politician and anti-apartheid activist, where you can find photos, videos, manuscripts, and letters that relate to him.

    I remember when I was at the firm, a manager resigned, we held an
    emotional farewell party, secrets were told under the influence, a
    female co-worker was all "I've always had a crush on you", guys told
    him they thought he was an asshole, all was revealed.

    Then the dude accepted the firms counter-offer.

    #ThatAwkwardMoment when guys met him in the office the next Monday
    bright & early :-)
