A far more interesting EKG would be that of Armstrong during the Eagle's descent. By the time the Eagle landed Armstrong's heart rate was up to 150. You would have never heard it in his voice but he was as amped up as the guys turning blue in mission control.
Intercepting "these small projectiles" is not a good idea since they are travelling at orbital velocities (25000km per hour).
Picking these objects up on radar and performing an avoidance maneuver is what the ISS has traditionally done when faced with an inevitable intercept. If the maneuver cannot be performed in time the astronauts and cosmonauts hunker down in the Soyuz capsules in case they need to make a "speedy" departure from the station.
Don't worry, in 1000 years time our genetically modified cats will have overthrown their furry shackles and will have become our feline overlords. They will be most thankful that humans have kept their historical "culture" properly archived and indexed, most notably "Cats in Sinks".
I don't think the fear comes from the use of nuclear technologies ONCE they are in space. A more likely fear scenario centers around the fact that the nuclear power plant needs to be bolted to the top of a huge firecracker that essplodes its way into space.
The city councillor can impose a liquorice tax on all emails sent within his jurisdiction. For every 1 trillion emails sent, a person must place one stick of liquorice on the councillors desk.
That makes about as much sense as what the councillor is proposing.
Just to be clear, I don't like liquorice all that much.
one of the reasons politicians screw up so much is because they are dirty and cannot trust anyone, so they find people they trust to do things they are unqualified for.
Wrong. Bureaucrats tender for proposals and hire the lowest bidder, that is why they don't get it and most likely never will.
If you can't do.. teach.. if you can't teach... run for office.
A team of astronomers has announced the discovery of the smallest exoplanet orbiting a Sun-like star yet found
It's not the existence of the planet that they are announcing:
the planet has been known for some time, but only new advances in asteroseismology (studying oscillations in the star itself) have allowed the star's size to be accurately found, which in turn yielded a far better determination of the planet's diminutive size.
The new measurement now means the exoplanet is the smallest on record.

Your gut then took up arms and told your brain to go on vacation.
We have this really big, really old, really rocky thing called the Canadian Shield. The mine happens to bore straight down into it as well.
Wow, thank you for untangling the porn web.
You must have done "extensive" research.
on-the-spot nature of an interview
Yep, the last thing you would want to do is actually "talk" to a candidate.
"Your a DONKAY"!
Lance Armstrong has no heart! They used any remaining heart tissue they could scrounge together to repair his nut sack.
hear HEAR!
This is an awesome simulation of descent and landing. It shows Armstrongs heart rate with a bunch of other stats: http://www.firstmenonthemoon.com/

New LED suns are just around the corner, however they are way more expensive.

"could" take us to Mars as well.
Unfortunately, harnessing fart power has proven much more elusive than fusion power.
Which "reef" are you talking about?
The Remotely Operated Vehicles worked at a depth of more than 14,000 feet, tethered to our ship with fiber optics
Do reefs grow that low?

No moon!

A Dyson Sphere doesn't have to be solid.
Something might happen... or not.
They completely left out the notion of a Dyson Sphere in this horribly written "article".
