Very well done, Eric. I have this set, one of my favorites -love the atmosphere, but I have yet to muster the courage to paint it.


Oh, at least one good thing came our of alchemy: Prussian Blue. It was created as a mistake by two German alchemists: Jacob Diesbach and Johan Konrad Dippel.


Lastly, many technological advancements came out of the US moon program, including: silver ion technology to purify water,  solar panels, heart monitors, implantable medications - just to name a few.

No way, impossible, an old dream of charlatans ..... which costed the life of so many people in the past .....

It is cheaper to dig in the earth and extract it than to try to convert it from lead .... but even that cheap is too expensive for the most of us................

May me the hidden reason whay yankees try to to to Mars planet.... and Chinese on the back side of the Moon !!   their belief in dollars or in yuan
