You will be able to read what I'm up to here.In the meantime, I will post new thoughts

Here's a good expose from Physorg.com detailing NASA's philosophy for getting us back to the moon:Building on the best of Apollo and shuttle technology, NASA's creating a 21stcentury exploration system that will be affordable, reliable, versatile, andsafe.Personally, I think it is a great idea to 'use what we've got' as it were, instead of trying to build heavylift and exploration vehicles from

Whew! Has it really been that long since a post?Well we (as in my friends and I) have all been talking about global warming and Katrina for some time now--so here are some web resources that some may find interesting: http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1099102,00.htmlhttp://www.katrinanomore.org/It makes perfect sense that an increase in ocean surface temperature would increase both
