  1. Iran? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Atlantic Crossing By Amateur Radio High Altitude Balloon

    Hopefully, the balloon will not violate Iranian airspace; they will shoot it down, refuse to give it back, and clone it, and before you know it there will be 100s of "weather balloons"!

  4. But all those ancient structures... by RNEMESiS42 · · Score: 1 · on Back to the Moon

    Maybe NASA doesn't want China to expose all of the ancient ruins on the moon.

  7. Richard Hoover, Astrobiologist, said so for years. by ke4roh · · Score: 2 · on Possible Evidence of Martian Bacteria
    Some years ago, I had the pleasure of attending a talk by Dr. Richard Hoover, leader of the Astrobiology Group at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, on the prospect of life on Mars, particularly based on things he had found in the ALH80001 meteorite.

    SPIE-The International Society for Optical Engineering captured the bulk of Dr. Hoover's presentation in an interview published in their December '96 magazine. This September 1998 article offers pictures of the fossils found, as does a July 1997 article. Another story announces a fossil find in another meteorite that fell on Murchison, Victoria, Australia.

    Many people question the science, but it would seem people should question the scientific community which has held its hands over its eyes when faced with the prospect of life on other planets. The community is just now peeking between its fingers and beginning to accept that there might be life elsewhere. In the presentation I attended, Dr. Hoover noted that NASA set up rules in advance of the Viking missions - that any one of the several (4?) tests coming back positive would be indicative of life on the red planet, but once some of the tests came back positive, they decided that all of the tests had to be positive to confirm the existence of life on Mars. Such has been the distinctly non-scientific approach of the community when confronted with the distinct possibility of life on other planets.

  8. Mystics try to figure out How Things Work by LionKimbro · · Score: 2 · on Hackers And Mysticism?

    There is certainly a connection between scientists and mystics; Mystics are scientists.

    Consider the following questions:

    • How do things work?
    • How does consciousness work?
    • Does consciousness ever work differently?
    • How is it that we are aware?

    These are questions that scientists and other technically minded people ask, and they are questions that mystics ask as well. Note that the word "Gnostic", used in this Slashdot intro, means "Understanding".

    Of all religious devotees, Mystics are the most scientific, since they constantly try to find the truth through observation, trial, and error. Mystics generally find that the the written word takes second place to first hand repeatable experiments, usually in the form of meditation.

    If there is any one thing that would make a mystic out of a scientifically minded person (assuming that the scientist hasn't already taking Socrates' advice to heart and studying their own awareness), it would have to be the hard problem of consciousness, which is essentially, the problem of how we are ever aware of anything at all; why it is that there is something like to be a person (or a butterfly).

    If you can explain the universe, but can't explain how it is that you're even aware of it in the first place, you may have just as well just explained a very nice and very neat little dream. Universes are probably a dime a dozen.

    Let me put it a completely different way:

    If you were a computer programmer, electronics enthusiast, or some other kind of tinkerer, and you come across these concepts of awareness, something called "God", different dimensions, and this mystery of light and sound, which of the following would appeal most to you:

    1. Get a book telling you what the truth is, and then say, "Oh, okay; I'll just go along with what this says here."
    2. Give up, and say that the problems too hard for you; let someone else bother with such things.
    3. Get yourself a DSL connection with the spirit world, have a few chat sessions with God, play around with some different dimensions, and try and figure out what the hell is going on and try to have have some fun.
