This image on Time magazine’s website yesterday shows infantryman Kyle Hockenberry in a helicopter in Afghanistan receiving treatment after surviving a road-side bomb blast in which lost both his legs and his left arm. On the right side of his ribcage is a tattoo that reads “For those I love I will sacrifice.”

The words take on a terrible resonance in this context.

They were particularly meaningful for one New York City employee.

“It’s a lyric I wrote in my mom’s house when I was 16,” said Justin Brannan, 33, now a top aide to City Councilman Vincent Gentile of Brooklyn.

wearethe99percent:

I am a 19-year-old college sophomore.

I go to the flagship university in my state, and I can barely afford it. (Like thousands of others in my state, I was promised full tuition if I kept my grades up. I held up my end of the bargain, but apparently that means nothing.)

I’m lucky enough to have a job on campus to cover some of my fees.

Even though I work 20 hours/wk, I will still be $8000 in debt by the end of the school year.

I want to go to law school. If I get into my first choice, I will be $136,000 in debt by my 25th birthday. (I just want to fight for human rights!)

I no longer believe in the “American Dream.”

I AM THE 99%!

Liquid water on the surface of Mars! NASA has just announced news that it has observed the phenomenon shown above. These dark surface flows in the Southern hemispheres seem to be a volatile substance, and the leading hypothesis is that it is heavily salty liquid water. [full video] [NASA TV] [more]

“But the shuttle is now over. The ISS is due to be de-orbited, in the inelegant jargon of the field, in 2020. Once that happens, the game will be up. There is no appetite to return to the moon, let alone push on to Mars, El Dorado of space exploration. The technology could be there, but the passion has gone—at least in the traditional spacefaring powers, America and Russia.

With luck, robotic exploration of the solar system will continue. But even there, the risk is of diminishing returns. Every planet has now been visited, and every planet with a solid surface bar Mercury has been landed on. Asteroids, moons and comets have all been added to the stamp album. Unless life turns up on Mars, or somewhere even more unexpected, public interest in the whole thing is likely to wane. And it is the public that pays for it all.”
