Tom Stoppard #RIP

The improbability of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead and the way scenes from Hamlet are woven into the narrative, captivated me the first time I read it, and made me a Stoppard fan for life.

Jimmy Cliff's death brings to mind The Harder they Come soundtrack. Decades ago, I was lucky enough to find it in a thrift shop - I subsequently played the record to death. While this isn't a Cliff tune, I've always loved it and IMHO it remains the most powerful track on album today (but feel free to disagree - it's a great record all the way through).

The Melodians, "Rivers of Babylon" (1970)

How can we sing King Alpha's song in a strange land?

NASA engineer Ed Smylie, who helped keep the Apollo 13 astronauts alive using a combination of a spacesuit hose, sock, plastic bag, cue cards and duct tape, has died at age 95. Four hours after the explosion that tore through Apollo 13 in 1970, Smylie became concerned that the crew would suffocate due to the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the air. He and his team of 60 came up with a plan, tested it and explained to Jim Lovell, Fred Haise and Jack Swigert how to build it during their emergency trip back to Earth. Smylie, who died in late April, received a Presidential Medal of Freedom for his service to the space program. Here's more from @Spacecom.
