Astroid Named For Douglas Adams

Asteroid DA42.

I love it that they worked the “42” in there.

I still miss Douglas Adams.

@Diogenes the Cynic

I still miss Douglas Adams.

He’s just spending a (few) year(s) dead for tax reasons.

[LavenderBlue]

I cried when I read about his death. He was very young.

[Eats_Crayons]

That is actually quite fitting. How cool.

Missing, and presumed fed.

It’s a shame he’s gone.

The asteroid thing is cool, though.

(From the pages of the Guide …)

*"The History of every major Galactic Civilization tends to pass through three distinct and recognizable phases, those of Survival, Inquiry and Sophistication, otherwise known as the How, Why and Where phases.
“For instance, the first phase is characterized by the question * How can we eat? *the second by the question * Why do we eat? and the third by the question Where shall we have lunch?” …

… “Okay, baby, hold tight,” said Zaphod. We’ll take in a quick bite at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe."
