I can see clearly now, oh look, a bus...

Ever see either of the movies "Independence Day" (one of my all time favorites) or "Lost in Space"? Near the end of each film the spaceship of the stories' heroes make their escapes from a fiery explosion with a cascading musical score, amid whoops and hollers. Well, just now getting through the recent barrage of projects I've had is - like that - kind of. The newsletters, the town annual report and several website issues have now been caught up to. I have other things going on but the throttle is turned down for the time being, except...things have picked up at the office which is good, been slow there lately.

Couldn't find the pictures I wanted of the spacecraft or the scenes from the movies so here are ones of the casts.
Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum in Independence Day - the scene I'm thinking of are these two escaping the aliens mothership after infecting the aliens computer system with a virus to disrupt there attack on Earth while also leaving behind a nuclear warhead to destroy the mothership.

Lost in Space - a take off of the old TV series that I was hooked on as a kid. At the climatic ending with the planet they were stranded on starting to crumble apart the crew decides to fly straight through the core of the doomed planet to build up escape velocity and "POW" bursting through the other side as the planet explodes on their tail. Great stuff.
