Someday, we'll all be healthy at the

same time.

This is the random grab bag of stale updates, thrown together in a flash because I'm really busy. In no particular order:

- I got my first nibbles on the NASA project today. I'm so excited!
- I think I might be able to make it through physics alright.
- Stanley Fish is a hero of mine. He's talking about how the humanities don't translate directly into income. Since this is so, they are the first departments to get cut. In the would of business, this is the right proper thing to do. Professor Fish wishes it weren't so. (NY Times free login required)
- Space Ship Two has made her first glide flight. I'm really stoked about private space ventures. There's a sense of the gumption that NASA had in the 1950s throughout the new generation of space-farers. I just wish the craft were Alclad and Dayglo :-)
- NASA is considering a rocket powered Mars plane. I like the idea, but I think the implementation is a bit sketchy. My personal baby is a rotary winged very light weight craft.
- The Soviets never made it to the moon with people, but it wasn't for lack of trying. here here and here (the last one is Русский язык only, but Google translate is your friend.

That's all I have time for today. More on Wednesday.

Cheers,
