Some great film inside the modules in zero gee... real perspective on the size and tech of Columbia and Eagle. (Clips 3 top right, which is mistagged pacific ocean view... contains a cool flythrough). edit: Apollo/JFK connections are ironic in some ways, because JFK wasn't a Space enthusiast... LBJ proposed it to him to outdo the Soviets after Gagarin's flight. That said, JFKs epic speeches May 25th 1961 to Joint Houses of Congress (b/w)... and Sept 12th, 1962 at Rice (colour) still gives me shivers. Great writer (Thanks Ted Sorensen), great message, great delivery. All those who believe in telekinesis, raise my hand. Last edited by curiousuburb : 2009-07-16 at 18:43. Reason: better links |

LRO Snaps low res images of Apollo landing sites.
Better res to come as orbit gets refined and equipment fine-tuned. Quote:

That. Is. So. Cool.
Kind of pointless, considering all the stupid conspiracy theorists are going to just say that these images are fake too...but it's cool to see the site from a new angle, nonetheless. and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong |

It's only 6% of the population that don't believe. That will hopefully shrink as soon as these get wider coverage.

Is it really 6% of (US?) population? That's pretty big considering that 6% of 300 million is 9 million.
I'm inclined to put it at 100,000. More likely less than that. Furthermore, what's the ruckus about? I mean, if it was indeed true that the moon landing was faked... what's the gain? I don't get it. |

I've always loved Boston.com's "The Big Picture" photo blog. Every single installment is great, regardless of the subject matter. Of course, earlier this week they had to have an entry for the Apollo missions:

Looks like Betelgeuse is burning a little too bright for it's own good:

[600 Light Years away or so... may have already asploded!] Or, it could be a 1000 years yet before it asplodes... maybe we will feel the shock wave of the asplosions on December 21, 2012.

Hey, did anybody catch that story about Venus having a weird bright spot in its cloud layer following on the heels of the Jupiter plume?

It has shrunk 15% in the last 20 years, so we might be very lucky and see it right at the end of our lives but I very much doubt it. I (crazily) guess it probably has to shrink at least 90% until it hits the iron core and rebounds, which means probably another 100 years at least.

Asteroid Tracker Widget FTW.
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id...asteroid-watch Here's a nice site if you want to find stuff by date, closest estimated approach, etc. http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/ca/ There's a doosy in 2011 that looks to pass potentially less than 1 LD (Lunar Distance) away. Large Magnitude, very "slow" velocity compared to others those (about 1km/s). It's called 2009 BD, which I guess means it was discovered this year. ...into the light of a dark black night.
