Pluto was nothing like the "other" planets. I'm glad it's not considered an actual planet anymore. Just because you're spinning around the Sun, doesn't make you a planet, you know...
En contraire, it covers anyone who is willing to spend 85$ for the ticket. I'm telling you, it's fully worth it!

Every Level 9 visitor of Johnson Space Center can hold in his hands the (original) Apollo 11 Lunar Surface Operation Plan, probably used and touched by Gene Krantz and others, while visiting the historical Apollo mission control room. It's on the left side of the room, stockpiled with other various files.
Honestly, I think that even in this current state, pushing Constellation to the Moon is not such a high expense for the US. The extra money NASA needs for this cannot be compared to the cost of War, money pumped into the financial system or national deficit. The current administration does not lack the money for the Moon and Mars. They lack the will and the determination for such a thing.
Sir, I couldn't agree more! I wasn't born in 1969 and I was hoping to live the day when man will step on Mars. Sadly, this will not happen during my lifetime.
Thank you, Obama.
I was hoping for a bigger screen, to match the comic book format. It would have been a nice comics reader. Without USB and with a smaller screen, well... dunno...
Something must be wrong, I can't find dilithium in this new representation...

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die.

That's totally unrealistic. You cannot point at Pluto, accelerate and wait a few years to get there. Pluto, like Earth, revolves around the Sun, you have to consider that to, in a realistic environment. Check the Orbiter space simulator, for instance, you'll get the idea.
The Quake 2 fan-made map of NCC-1701-D remains, by far, the best Star Trek game experience I've ever encounter. It had the bridge, captain's room, working transporter pads, a sickbay, Jeffries tubes and if you shot the warp core in engineering, the ship will blow up and game over.

For anyone curious, as I was, what the surface temperature of our star is: 5500 degrees C
Ha! My inductively coupled plasma has 6000 degrees celsius!
Also, the Moon is on a freefall too. A closed freefall, like ISS or Moon's is called an orbit.

Sailor Moon?
Superman didn't flew in Action Comics #1. He just leap tall buildings in a single bound.

I'll buy an ebook reader when it will be able do display CBR/CBZ formats, in a readable form.
How about calculating the environmental damage done by printing this stupid book?
The Forbes guys are a little bit confused here: the one with a liver problem works on a different company...
Star Trek reference attempt failed.

Here's a simulation of the impact, done with Orbiter software and a bunch of plugins: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXTc47x4HDk
I bought the Celestron's FirstScope just a few days ago. Tough it's more expensive than Galileoscope, I would say it worth the extra.
Yes, but... does it runs Linux? Because it's official now, Linux is bloated, as Linus stated.
Still doesn't seem good enough for /. frontpage...
Yep! I forgot about forcefields and turbolifts!

#F4200NUM0001? How uninspired... I would have chosen #F4200NUM1701.
