So sad in Connecticut.

What is so maddening is that someone has such a miserable life, they have to go and make it even more miserable for NUMEROUS families.

I was about to say something snarky about how many holidays you guys have....and then I remembered that I'm Jewish and have absolutely no cause to complain about the number of holidays.

OH MY GOD, WE'RE GOING TO MARS.

Got a phone call from folks in Huntsville. Project money approved for two areas: motors and systems, and bio sciences. Ain't jack compared to the Chinese, but the Huntsville guys have been doing a lot of this on their own nickel.

WE ARE GOING TO MARS. WE ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO GO MARS. And there's no point to just going there, you gotta go there and set up a Base. WE ARE GOING TO MARS AND ARE GOING TO STAY THERE.

I'm selling ex-pat tickets for $1 plus the cost to boost your a$$. If I was young enough, I would be outa here in a heartbeat. MARS!!!!

Ciao, JWE

Was browsing the Audible catalog and stumbled upon World War Z. Very enjoyable read (or listen in my case). Definitely not your average zombie story. More of a socio-economic-phychological essay. He's certainly no Heinlein but pretty fun nonetheless.

Nice news John!

BTW, I remember thoroughly enjoying my tour at the NASA Huntsville Alabama... I took many many pictures (it was the age of old camera films - long before digital camera revolution)...

Please note that currently it is NOT year 2012 - it is year 2020 (most probably)... in dark middle ages one pries wrongly summed up the years and, thus, we have this discrepancy... this is very well know fact and even Pope in his latest book admitted that once again very openly...

So - the Mayan 2012 happened years ago...

I'm wondering how they predicted the end of the universe and so many people are believing it. Especially when the Mayans didn't predict the arrival of the Spanish...

Doomsday can just bugger right off. I for one will be having nothing to do with this end of the universe malarkey. The bloody apocalypse can come during work time, like all good catastrophic events should, not on the first day of my Christmas leave.

Good point. If the apocalypse could please wait until one minute after we're airborne on the 21st, that would ensure a good view from the air if nothing else.

First off, it's not the end of the universe, just the end of us.

Second this was scheduled a long, long time ago and the two of you should have checked before making any plans.
