But since these bodies must have some rotation, which may even be chaotic, it is possible your craft could land on a portion that never (or not regularly at least) is visible from Earth. Thus you could not send back all these fabulous scientific data you are acquiring.

While I think the Senator is way off base with this proposal, he seems to be a level-headed guy. A few years ago, at a Memorial Day festivity in Lewes, DE, I heard the Senator give this speech: He got up, and after thanking the hosts and the veterans, he read the Bill of Rights, and sat back down. I have been a fan of his ever since.
The even larger question goes beyond whether monkeys were harmed in this process or even if the harm done to them ultimately benefits humans. The question to be asked is do high functioning primates, which in many tests of cognitive and emotional ability are equivalent to 3-5 year old humans, have the right to be left alone? You wouldn't think this experiment were so cool if it were done on a 3 year old, would you? A fascinating book on legal rights for certain primates is Rattling the Cage by Steven Wise.
It doesnt matter if they are sending signals at us or not, only if they use radio waves are part of a planetary communication system. The sensitivity of the Allen Telescope Array is such that it can detect the equivalent of Earth's TV leakage around the nearest stars.
Except that this is a nearby source in our own Galaxy and its distance is not determined by redshift.
Regardless, your statement that "space is not expanding at a constant rate" is misleading. The Hubble flow is mostly constant at about 75 km/s/megaparsec (that's why it is called the Hubble *constant*). There are deviations from the Hubble Flow near, say, large clusters of galaxies, but those are well-mapped. Furthermore, deviations are monotonic--space does not "suddenly expand right in front of the detector."
Yeah, but a beautiful new series of parks and new buildings, the Rose Kennedy Greenway will take its place. The central artery divided Boston neighborhoods for too long. Yes, this was wildly expensive but ultimately a good thing for city. The replacement of the central artery will bring more business and tax dollars, hopefully offsetting some of the expense of the tunnel. Check out the video link aabove, its cool.
Covered even earlier with James Blish's Cities in Flight. Extremely long lives makes century-long space flights to nearby stars amenable to a single lifetime.
If you must publicize your email address on a web page, do it as an image. Very easy to create and cannot be harvested automatically. Of course, do not set the ALT tag to your email address!
Actually, the ATA will be nowhere near San Franscisco. It will be located at Hat Creek Radio Observatory (http://bima.astro.umd.edu), about 4.5 hr north of SF. The closest city of any size is Redding, CA.
IAAA and you are exactly right. For asteroid searches you want a smaller telescope with wide field of view. You want to cover large swaths of sky quickly and frequently, returning to those same areas to see what has moved.
Back in the 1970s, Estes rocket corp had a model on which mounted a Super 8mm movie camera. Ah, those were the days! http://www.paratech-parachutes.com/Estes/ci neroc.h tml
The 70-95 GHz range is a critical radio astronomy band. Much of the gas in the Galaxy emits spectral line radiation in this band. See http://www.ntia.doc.gov/osmhome/reports/pub9835. Portions are protected in some areas

Maybe this will stop complaints about the Old Buoys Network!

It costs about $12M/yr to operate Arecibo,
according to the Senior Review report.
however, somes states offer zero sales tax on hybrids. this is an additional savings of ~$1600.

According to this paper, it could be drag from dust in the outer solar system.

Here's a do it yourself option.
The only place where you should not use compact fluorescents is a fixture controlled by a rheostat. This makes them burn out quickly.

Legislators using common sense.
Ha ha, ya, dat's a gut vun.
Any chance MIGE will be made into a movie?

Perhaps there is not more DVD piracy right now because most users don't have the bandwidth
to download full-length movies?
