A lesson in perspective...

Q: Are you Naughty or Nice?

A: Depends on you


I don't give my card out to just anybody.


I once learnt that some reporters write out their stories in a secret code - a shorthand - that they can only read. I use a theory of that to store phone numbers in code names on my phone to protect my contacts and to jot down important key pieces of information in a language unique to me. I discuss the Voynich Manuscript and Leonardo da Vinci; Cryptanalysis, code-breaking and shorthand with my friends...

The question and answer above is meant for a reflection based lesson. It works only for those that think outside the box. The ones that can touch the stars. The ones sending us to outer space.


If you don't recognize the exact card from which I am quoting and referring to, I have attached a hint below.

I don't give this card to just anybody.

Are you naughty or nice?

This concludes a small lesson in judgement.

Send an Ash-tronaut to space!

As you can see, I have entered a contest. The link above will take you to the submission and "vote" screen. I need to get "likes".

First off, I am Ashley Hughes, and I am one of the Ash-tronauts. Ashlea Spitz and I have been training for our N-ASH-A (get it) space mission for over 2 years by rappelling down skyscrapers and hanging out in -110 degree ice saunas (colder than the atmosphere). We eat space food at our parties and listen to satellites and planets via radio telescopes, but with all of our education we also became aware about space debris. SPACE JUNK! Both of us are highly active in volunteering with the environment in our community but we won't stop at just earth. There are an estimated $300 billion dollars (US$) of space junk in lower earth orbit. Each time a satellite collides with another, hundreds of thousands of pieces of space junk, from paint chips to space stations, crowd our atmosphere. These particles will forever collide becoming smaller pieces, eventually maybe creating a ring around earth and inhibiting space exploration. Lets raise awareness for Space recycling and send an ashtronaut to space!

A lady isn't afraid to try new things. Ashley Hughes going into a -110 degree celsius ice sauna that's colder than the atmosphere. 

Every once in awhile, something unknown or an unusual opportunity presents itself. I like to analyze the pros and cons, and if the outcome is positive, I am usually keen to try anything a little daring... especially when after closer examination, it is actually beneficial and good for your body.

At -110 degrees, your breath turns to snowflakes.

Here David and I go into the -110 degree sauna for 3 minutes... colder than our atmosphere... which is great if I plan to go to space...
