NASA Opens Space Image Library

slatterz writes with an excerpt from a brief PC Authority article: "NASA is to make its huge collection of historic photographs, film and video available to the public for the first time. A partnership with the non-profit Internet Archive will see 21 major NASA imagery collections merged into a single searchable online resource. The NASA Images website is expected to go live this week. The content of the site covers all the diverse activities of America's space program, including imagery from the Apollo missions, Hubble Space Telescope views of the universe and experimental aircraft past and present." The site is working already, and it looks fantastic. Don't hesitate to share any interesting pictures or movies you find.

Discounting the racist tones of your message, if any population's youth is really determined to kill itself, the government should step out of its way and let nature do its job.

If those kids kill themselves before reproducing, any genetic tendency to aggression they had won't be passed to future generations. Unfortunately, it's expected that overly aggressive populations with high mortality rates in young ages will, given enough time, develop suitable mating behaviour that allows them to reproduce sooner.

Evolution has its own agenda, you know.
