About Me
About 13.7 billion years ago, the universe came into being.*
About 24.2 years ago, Brian Spacecadet came into being.
Brian Spacecadet's history with outer space is a long one, beginning shortly before his birth. In 1979, his father proposed to his mother atop a mountain just northeast of Los Angeles--Mt. Wilson, home of the famous observatory that has always housed many new cutting-edge telescopes. Additionally, it proved quite a discovery grounds for such notable astronomers and cosmologists as Hale, Hooker, Humason and Hubble. In fact, it was at this very location that Hubble discovered the redshift that indicated the universe is constantly expanding, and that nebulas were actually galaxies outside the Milky Way.
Shortly after the aforementioned proposal, Spacecadet was born and raised in Houston, Texas--also known as "Space City"--just a few miles from Johnson Space Center, NASA's center for human spaceflight (aka Mission Control). Years later, in 1998, his father moved the family to Las Vegas, Nevada to begin work with a private company on a government contract on Area 51. To this day, Brian still does not know what his father did on that piece of government land. It may or may not have involved extraterrestrial-related activities. In 2005, Spacecadet graduated with a college degree in [xeno]biology and a minor in the humanoid language English. His mission on earth came full circle upon his subsequent 2005 arrival in the Houston area. At that point, 3 college-years-worth of 4-track experimentation developed into the space-inspired everything revolves around you! He currently resides with two imaginary alien roommates approximately a mere 32.6 miles from NASA's Space Center Houston (which is actually pretty close when you consider the fact that the observable universe is 90,000 billion miles across and growing), where the 3 of them adhere to a "strict" diet of only earthling plant life for their astronaut training regimen. Not to mention that his progressive, forward-thinking alien friends believe it absurdly inhumane that mankind eats its "relatives," as they call animals.
His first album is a collection of songs set in (where else?) outer space, entitled, "Planet Earth Just Isn't Ready for Us Yet." It will be released whenever he finishes writing the material, which at his sub-light-speed pace could be eons.
*in light of the big bang, let us consider the cosmological argument for God:
1. Everything has a cause(s).
2. Nothing can cause itself.
3. Therefore, everything is caused by another thing(s).
4. A causal chain cannot be of infinite length.
5. Therefore, there must be a first cause (God, duh).
