We have few enough "launch windows" available between mars and the earth if we're launching from the earth. Gods, what are we going to do if we start launching from the moon and our launch window becomes a few short hours when the moon is between earth and mars?
We miss one of those launch windows, we have another month until we can launch again.
Remember when NASA was under pressure to launch during inopportune launch windows? Challenger.
I don't know where you guys have been, but MacOS has had a primative voice command system since version 7.0! All it did was recognize it's name and a few simple commands, but yes, Virginia, you can control your computer with your voice!
Of course the idea was great, but the implementation sucked. It made the OS pig up to 48 meg of memory (and it the f*@ed up world of Mac memory, that matters) and went slow as hell. It was completely specific to one user, only one person's voice could activate the computer.
But yeah, after playing with that, and voice-typing software, I agree, voice control is the way to go.

Isn't it going a little far. It's obvious to me that the Linux installations on various game systems and small appliances is SOLELY for improved GF (Geek Factor).
Livin in the mac world is like living in Nowhereville, USA. Everyone there is of the same race and the same religion. The families have lived there for decades... Almost complete homogeny. But no crime. No poverty.
It seems like some "outsiders" are moving into their quaint little town and shaking things up...
So your pissed about having to pay for a CD that you already have on tape/8-track/vinyl. Since we're beginning to separate the content from the media, you think you can pay just for the new CD/jewel case/liner notes and NOT pay for what's stamped on the cd and printed in the liner notes? So why not start a company that will give you "content credit" if you exchange your vinyl copy of _Frampton Comes Alive_ for a CD of _Frampton Comes Alive_?
Your on the right track with this idea of sugar symmetry.
I know from my experience in homebrewing ale and wine, we use both right-handed and left-handed sugars for the process. The yeasts (single cell prokeryotes similar to to the "life" we might find on Mars) are able to process the right handed sugars (iirc) but not the left handed sugars. The right handed sugars are added for yeast food, and the left handed sugars are added for sweetening.
Maybe this tagatose that Levin discovered is just a left-handed sugar, similar to the manufactured left-hand sugar used for sweetening in homebrewing?
Did anyone catch this?
"Last week Gerald Soffen, one of Levin's chief critics at NASA, died unexpectedly... 'I can't believe Jerry's gone [Egads, It actually worked!],' Levin said. 'Poor old Jerry...'"
So despirate to get his experiment to Mars, he doffed one of his main critics? I'm just theorizing...
It's a great big universe and we're all really puny,
we're just tiny little specks about the size of Mickey Rooney
It's big and black and inky, and we are small and dinky
It's a big universe and we're not!
