On This Day in...

1969 – Soviet spacecraft Soyuz 4 and Soyuz 5 perform the first-ever docking of manned spacecraft in orbit, the first-ever transfer of crew from one space vehicle to another, and the only time such a transfer was accomplished with a space walk.
Happy Birthday to...

"...that no man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place, or ministry whatsoever, nor shall be enforced, restrained, molested, or burthened in his body or goods, nor shall otherwise suffer on account of his religious opinions or belief, but that all men shall be free to profess, and by argument to maintain, their opinions in matters of Religion, and that the same shall in no wise diminish, enlarge or affect their civil capacities..." (from the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom drafted by Thomas Jefferson and enacted into state law on January 16, 1786)
(I'm cherry-picking Wikipedia mainly.)Looking at events and birthdays of people in history that pertain to art, music, literature, film, poetry, psychology, "magic", creative technologies, space travel, philosophies, "illumination", cosmic consciousness. With as little focus on war as possible. There will be exceptions owing to my own personal interest in a specific topic. Feel free to leave comments or suggestions. This is a work in progress.
