Legacy Park, Mojave Air and Space Port

Legacy Park at the Mojave Airport is memento mori. Benches are available for pausing and sitting in life's brief journey to remember those who tried way up in the high atmosphere to touch "the face of God." They fell, like Icarus, because "from dust ... to dust." But grass grows in dust.
Major Premise: "All flesh is as grass."
Minor Premise: Grass has enduring-rock envy.
Conclusion: Rock in grass = skull in hand.

Voyager Restaurant

Mojave Air and Space Port is stark. So is the Voyager Restaurant that sits below the Control Tower. Walls white in the sun, gray in the shade. Windows small and black, mid-sized and black. People walking by on their way in look ordinary, in a surreal landscape. Voyager milkshakes-to-go are better than ordinary.
