So I have been having trouble lately finding things to blog about that aren’t mundane and boring. I also cant spend all day writing about the things I do at work, not enough time to write the posts… So I saw this great movie recently, Moon and I am going to write about that.

The movie revolves around the life of an Astronaut Sam Bell working on a Lunar mining facility. He signed a contract for a 3 year stint working mining H3 (Tritium/Hydrogen 3). This is the new fuel source of the future which powers the Fusion plants of the US and abroad. The movie spends all but the last 5-10 minutes centralized around 2 characters, Sam and the automated System GERTY (Kin of the HAL 9000 from 2001: space Odyssey). The glory of this movie is in its simplicity. There is no alien or supernatural phenomenon, the director is leading us through the last 2 weeks of Sam’s contract as he is introduced to a very awkward and perplexing situation.
