James Webb was a key figure in the exploration of our outer Universe. In the 1960s, when he was the head of NASA, he played as large a role as anyone in helping humans to explore the outer reaches of our reality.<\/p>\n
How fitting that the new telescope launched today, the most powerful in human history, is named for him.<\/p>\n
Jimmy Webb is a key figure in our exploration of our inner Universe. Since the 1960s, when he started he phenomenal career as one of our greatest songwriters, he has played as large a role as anyone in helping humans to explore the inner reaches of our reality.<\/p>\n
So in honor of the launching of the James Webb Space Telescope, here are some salient words from Jimmy Webb:<\/p>\n
\nSee her how she flies
\nGolden sails across the sky
\nClose enough to touch
\nBut careful if you try
\nThough she looks as warm as gold
\nThe moon’s a harsh mistress
\nThe moon can be so cold
\nOnce the sun did shine
\nLord, it felt so fine
\nThe moon a phantom rose
\nThrough the mountains and the pines
\nAnd then the darkness fell
\nAnd the moon’s a harsh mistress
\nIt’s so hard to love her well
\nI fell out of her eyes
\nI fell out of her heart
\nI fell down on my face
\nYes, I did, and I, I tripped and I missed my star
\nGod, I fell and I fell alone, I fell alone
\nAnd the moon’s a harsh mistress
\nAnd the sky is made of stone
\nThe moon’s a harsh mistress
\nShe’s hard to call your own
