Figures...
These are truly stellar.
Link. NY Times profile of Joachim Ronneberg, 96, the only living member of a World War II commando team that blew up a Norwegian plant that was Nazi Germany’s only source of heavy water.
“There were so many things that were just luck and chance,” he said of his 1943 sabotage mission that blew up a Norwegian plant vital to Nazi Germany’s nuclear program. “There was no plan. We were just hoping for the best,”Skills and experience are important in life, no doubt, but it still surprises me how much a role chance plays.
Link. Oof. Can you imagine? Not even touched on in The Force Awakens but now that this relationship has been into my mind I am having a hard time not wanting to know more back story.
I have often thought the Prequels were a worthwhile world to explore but the films were poorly executed. Videos like this just reinforce this belief.
Link. "Ueli decided to return to the Alps to attempt a very different take on a classic alpine challenge; climb all 82 summits of 4,000 metres or above in the European Alps in less than 80 days, and to top it all off, to complete the challenge using only human power from start to finish."
Extraordinary accomplishment. Definitely a human pushing the limits of what is possible.

Link. Probably my favorite Muppet movie by far, mostly because they treated the source material so well. It felt like the Muppets were actually actors in a production of the Christmas Carol.
