So today there was To the Moon and Beyond conversation with Victor Glover (Artemis II pilot) and Chris Hadfield (ISS Commander) and we got to enjoy Hadfield playing David Bowies Starman this time.. I'm slowly coming to conclusion that David Bowie might be his favorite artist.. 🤔

And the evening concluded with Rick Wakeman & the Starmus Ensemble playing Echoes from Black Holes, directed and conducted by Stuart Morley.. all these live music sessions included with sciencey stuff do give you a sense of hope and sanity in this insane world we're currently living in.

Ahh, yes, and Rick Wakemans solo encore was to play Beatles songs Help (Paul McCartney) and Eleonor Rigby (John Lennon) in style of classical composers.. which was fantastic. As I recognized neither of those classical composers names I'm sadly unable to say who they were but like said, it was fantastic. I might need to look more into this Rick Wakeman and his music.

I didn't quite think I could be so hmm emotional but to hear Andrea Bocelli & Brian May & Dino Jelusick play Queens Who Wants to Live Forever.. that did make me shed a tear or two.

Santa Fe Helsinki all the way!
Santa Fe Chilies as starter (last picture) and Pedros Blackened Steak medium like always.. the bestEST there is..

My most visited restaurant since mid 1990s or somewhere there. I'm not sure I will ever find another restaurant as much _me_.

"You unlock this door with the key of imagination.
Beyond it is another dimension: a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind.
A land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas.
You've just crossed over into... the Twilight Zone."

Did I finally do it?
Did I finally break the space/time continuum? 🤔😅
