A big Mazal Tov to my big brother, better known here as hemlock_sholes, for his release from the IDF after twelve years of dedicated and loyal service to the system.

It's their loss and our gain all the way.

I'm proud of you big bro, for doing what you believe in and not compromising yourself in any way.

My brother was released on the 20th of July 2008, which so happened to be the 39th anniversary of the first lunar landing by the Apollo 11 team.

To celebrate both these very auspicious occasions here is a recent video of the Earth from space.
It is quite humbling:

From NASA with Love.
