Cosmik Debris
Cosmik Debris / Frank Zappa (1974)
The Mystery Man came over
An' he said: "I'm outa-site!"
He said, for a nominal service charge,
I could reach nervonna t'nite
If I was ready, willing 'n able
To pay him his regular fee
He would drop all the rest of his pressing affairs
And devote His Attention to me
But I said . . .
Look here brother,
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
(Now who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?)
Look here brother,
Don't you waste your time on me
The Mystery Man got nervous
An' he fidget around a bit
He reached in the pocket of his Mystery Robe
An' he whipped out a shaving kit
Now, I thought it was a razor
An' a can of foamin' goo
But he told me right then
When the top popped open
There was nothin' his box won't do
With the oil of Afro-dytee
An' the dust of the Grand Wazoo
He said:
"You might not believe this, little fella, but it'll cure your Asthma too!"
An' I said . . .
Look here brother,
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
(Now what kind of a geroo are you anyway?)
Look here brother,
Don't you waste your time on me
Don't waste your time . . .
I've got troubles of my own, I said
An' you can't help me out
So take your meditations an' your preparations
An' ram it up yer snout
"BUT I GOT A KRISTL BOL!," he said
An' held it to the light
So I snatched it
All away from him
An' I showed him how to do it right
I wrapped a newspaper 'round my head
So I'd look like I was Deep
I said some Mumbo Jumbos then
An' told him he was goin' to sleep
I robbed his rings
An' pocket watch
An' everything else I found
I had that sucker hypnotized
He couldn't even make a sound
I proceeded to tell him his future then
As long as he was hanging around,
I said
"The price of meat has just gone up
An' yer ol' lady has just gone down . . . "
Look here brother,
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
(Now is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho?)
Don't you know,
You could make more money as a butcher,
So don't you waste your time on me
(Don't waste it, don't waste your time on me . . . )
Ohm shonty, ohm shonty, ohm shonty-ohm

例によって摩訶不思議なザッパの世界
自分をだまそうとしたペテン師を催眠術で
逆にペテンにかけてやる、という内容は
何かの暗喩になってるんでしょうか？？
う～む…
深いのか単なる思いつきなのか…
宇宙ゴミは
"Space Debris" でした…

政府は１５日、年末までに改定する「日米防衛協力のための指針（ガイドライン）」に宇宙状況監視（ＳＳＡ）に関する日米両国の協力を盛り込む方針を固めた。複数の政府関係者が明らかにした。宇宙ごみ（スペースデブリ）の観測情報を米国側に提供することで、人工衛星が宇宙ごみとの衝突を回避し、安全を確保できるよう態勢を強化する。防衛省は、平成２１年策定の「宇宙開発利用に関する基本方針」を９月にも改定し、宇宙状況監視の態勢強化を打ち出す考えだ。
現行のガイドラインは９年に改定されたが、今回の改定作業では、当時は焦点とならなかったサイバーや宇宙といった新分野の協力強化が課題の一つとなっている。政府は、ガイドラインの中間報告に宇宙状況監視の協力を明記することも検討している。
宇宙ごみをめぐっては、中国が２００７年１月、老朽化した自国の衛星を地上からのミサイルで破壊する実験を行い、約３千個を飛散させた。０９年２月の米国とロシアの人工衛星の衝突事故でも多数発生している。人工衛星と宇宙ごみが衝突して大きな事故になれば、衛星を利用する通信や放送が遮断されるおそれがあり、対策が急務とされている。
米国防総省の戦略軍統合宇宙運用センター（ＪＳｐＯＣ）は、宇宙ごみが人工衛星に衝突する危険性がある場合、日本をはじめとした他国政府や商業衛星の運用者に無償で警報を提供している。ただ、米国は東アジアにおける観測能力が十分ではなく、同盟国に監視網への協力を働きかけている。
今年５月には日米両政府の担当がワシントンで開かれた宇宙包括対話で連携強化に合意した。
国内の宇宙ごみの観測施設は、レーダーと大型光学望遠鏡が岡山県内に２カ所あり、一般財団法人日本宇宙フォーラムが運営している。独立行政法人宇宙航空研究開発機構（ＪＡＸＡ）もその情報を活用しており、米国への情報提供を試験的に始めている。政府は将来的な自衛隊での活用も視野に、レーダー施設を最新型に更新することも検討するなど、監視能力の強化を目指す。
