The Planetary Society has a very interesting article about the five years the rover Spirit has been on Mars.
And I wrote this one about the Mars rovers in Dutch.
Ever since I found out I could not play an DVD-audio on my PC when I have my connected digital speaker system, did you think I ever bought one DVD-audio?
What about selling programs, satellites to other nations/institutes? Think of the benefit of buying completed or almost completed, maybe even launched satellites. Would that be viable?
Spaceflight now has an image from the external tank video that shows a piece of debris falling off from the external tank, just after the solid boosters separated. It doesn't seem to fall in the shuttles direction.
I'm waiting for the 32-disc boxset to come out with the making of the making of the making of the Star Wars movies, the commentary on the audio commentary and of course the interview with the sister-in-law of Mark Hamill's nieces step-brother, who lives in Australia.
However, the ATV is an unmanned cargo re-supply ship. What is interesting is that ATV and big-Soyuz together could replace the shuttle for an important part. No need for resupplies with the logistics modules (Raphaello, Leonardo and Donatello), which were launched with the shuttle. No need for the shuttle to launch large crews. You could reduce the shuttle's task mainly to construction. This is still a big task, but they got to finish ISS one day. From then on the need would be less.
All as may be, but I still have often problems selecting my next book to read. Even books appraised by awards of site aren't always up my alley. Because I'm a bit of a slow reader, I want to make sure that the book I select is good.
Therefor I'd like to see a site for books like what allmusic.com does for music. (Allbooks.com brings you to Amazon.) Amazon is not exactly the same. It's ways to search for books are too limited.
Also I would like to choose my next book to read a bit like I select a recipe to cook on some recipe sites: I want a recipe with ingredient A and B, what recipes do you got with those.
Does any of this exist? (Maybe I should start such a site?)
..only slightly higher, so you get the two-level effect with a little path running down the middle.
SOHO: Operational or scientific?

SOHO Is Back
·
· Score: 5, Interesting
The problem with SOHO is, that everyone has grown rather dependent on, what originally was a scientific, not an operational mission. It has now become a single point of failure in the gathering of important space weather forecasting data.
Space.com recently had an article about this. Without the constant stream of SOHO data, "it isn't too far off the mark that our forecasting methodology would revert back to the way it was many years ago," Joseph Kunches Chief, Space Weather Operations at the Space Environment Center told SPACE.com. "So without it for a little while...well, you keep your fingers crossed. You hope the Sun doesn't know," he said.
According to spacedaily.com the American contestants are having trouble with overwhelming paperwork concerning FAA regulations based on the 100-year old aviation industry. Therefore a coalition of businesses, customers, public interest organizations, and public policy experts have joined together to call on Congress for a clear and stable regulatory environment for suborbital flights to take place.
Interesting you say this, because in a recent newspaper article I read that coorporation between nations seems a lot to be left desired for.
This makes one wonder: Another high-res camera? Do we really need to verify existence of water again with basically the same kind of instruments on board of an orbiter?
There is no need to be stuck in any traffic on this planet anymore, now that I have the URLs of all traffic-websites in the world. Oh, by the way, we had this for years where I live too. I wouldn't want to be left behind.

As long as both teams want the hurricane to go the same way we could have winner here.

The pictures mentioned earlier are still not taken from the closest point to Phoebe.
In the Imaging Diary you'll find the latest pictures, amongst which one taken from 2365 kilometers (1,470 miles).
Think of the extensive wear and tear als result of this clawling. Knee-strenghend pantalons will be tomorrow's IT fashion!
I'm going to buy stocks in the tailor industry right away.

How about: they asked me to pull over?
