NASA Asks the Public For Advice On Goals

Posted by timothy on from the go-fast-turn-left dept.

In it they are including public opinion from a web-based survey on the direction of NASA through 2013. The survey itself can be found at this page on the Planetary Society website. The article with more detail in explaining this is here. The survey closes on January 31, so don't miss this chance to tell NASA what you think it should be doing. pssst ... Mars can be done cheaply."

  1. This may seem silly... by gnovos · · Score: 5, Informative

    But please note that 1 is the MOST important and 10 is the LEAST important. I rated them all incorrectly and luckily just caught it one second before I hit send. I'm so used to K5 style (5=good, 1=bad) that I didn't stop and read the tiny tiny directions.

    doesn't the coriolis effect have something to do with the way the water rotates in your toilet when you flush, too?

    hah :) you've been watching simpsons too much :)

    A toilet bowl is far to irregular to notice this effect. Even a sink would have trouble showing it.
