    Mars One - Unethical?

    Everybody is going to die some time or another. Would you rather do it on Earth or Mars? As for me; where's the gantry?

    What did you think of the... er.. homage scene? (spoilers)

    "There is a theory. There could be some logic to the belief that time is fluid, like a river, with currents, eddies, backwash." - Spock, The City on the Edge of Forever

    NASA already poo-pooed it back when it was called TransHab.

    What.. you mean like this?

    The 1994 Nellis AFB UFO video

    I find it interesting that the azimuth, elevation, and range data displayed do not correlate with camera or object movement. The "radar data" line looks like someone playing with a spectrum analyzer like an HP 496. FauxYooFoeFoo.

    I couldn't find the Big or Little Dipper!

    HOW-TO: Find Ursa Minor, aka The Little Dipper- Verify you are in the northern hemisphere. Find the latitude of your current location. Verify it is dark outside. Assure no clouds obscure your northerly view. Look exactly due North (true. Magnetic compasses can and do lie. Damn...

    Blue Origin Releases First Photos of Vehicle in Flight

    Niven, Pournelle & Flynn's Phoenix from Fallen Angels was cut from much the same cloth; a 60 foot tall inverted ice cream cone. :) What... you haven't read it? Here, quick! http://www.baen.com/library/067172052x/067172052X.htm Courtesy of the Baen Free Library. Amusingly, they also...

    Blue Origin Releases First Photos of Vehicle in Flight

    Looks about the same size as Delta Clipper / DC-X. Hopefully they have redundant landing leg extenders. I saw elsewhere that this test craft may be a booster for something else, so the cylindrical fairing to mate up with next item in the stack along with the dome shaped aeroshell make some...

    Man From Atlantis DVD featured on The View

    I liked season 1 better than season 2. The uniforms and the sub were more than I wanted in a "who am I?" style sci-fi adventure / action series. The sub design was cool though. The Cetacean, right?

    "Atomic" clock fail

    WWVB transmits UTC information only because that's the only thing the precision measurement crowd cares about. DST isn't part of it, that's incumbent on the end user equipment to compensate for or discard. I'm still gonna say it's wonky firmware in your clock, or for some reason it thinks...

    "Atomic" clock fail

    These clocks incorporate a VLF reciever that catches signals from WWVB, a station run by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology. WWVB transmits from Fort Collins, Colorado at 60 kilohertz and provides the time via binary coded decimal at 1 bit per second. The signal from WWVB...
