The Bunday Evening Thumps

Good Evening, Everybunny!

First off, every bun is noming and pooping well, and we are still thrilled that Charlie didn't have to visit the V. E. T. 

In other news, we're heartbroken reading about the passing of Alexei Leonov. The cosmonaut who carried out the first space walk. Ed White would do the second one not long after that. What few people realize, though, is that on the same flight, Alexei managed to work on some art. Was it before the EVA or after? Because he almost died on that spacewalk. 

Leonov was an artist, and his "something to fall back on" involved test-piloting and cosmonauting. We're still waiting for that one to sink in.

Here's what we gather to be the first piece of visual art created on orbit:

During the Apollo-Soyuz flight in 1975, Leonov sketched Tom Stafford, who commanded the Apollo side of the flight.

Now, somewhere over the Rainbow Bridge, Alan Bean and Leonov are doing art together.

We'll keep you posted,

PS: Since we're talking about arting in space, here an article by Nicole Stott, an American astronaut, talking about what's it like to paint in space!

Espresso, Charlie, and Gus Update

Hellos, Everybunny!

I had a bit of a scare last night. The usual dinner saaaaalad time came around, and I had no appetite for it. You know what happened next, right? Medicine. Then a big, fat syringe with Sarx rescue food. Belleh rubs. My hoomin thought this was a case of a serious "Main Bun B Undervolt." And who is he calling "Bun B"? Is there a "Bun A" that I don't know about?

Well, my loss of appetite was no instrumentation error. At least my hoomin spotted it early. Shortly before midnight, I got fed the recovery food again. 

The good news is I turned up for treats this morning! Yep; had the usual multi-vitamin biscuit, then the digestive one. A little later, I slurped up another dose of my medicine. Now my hoomin says it's like a day off! And since no bun got any sleep last night, we're looking forward to a lazy bunday.

We'll keep you posted,

- Charlie
