[Quick note: It looks like the tech guys at b5Media have been having server issues for the past couple of days. My apologies if you couldn’t get to the blog. I’ve gotten a couple of posts written that I’ll post over the course of the day to kind of catch up. Anyhoo, […]
The Geminid meteor shower is coming up in a little over a week.
On December 13th at around 10pm or so, start looking towards the constellation Gemini to see what promises to be the best meteor shower of the year.
Here’s where to look (click on it to see a bigger one):
Geminids will start around 10:30pm December […]
On the following days, I’m going to get to see the International Space Station:

Wired Magazine is running a contest to see if we can come up with a better slogan for our beloved space agency.
Apparently there was a campaign to improve NASA’s image that has “NASA explores for answers that power our future.” but there are those who think we the people can do better.
Go here to enter […]
There is an effort afoot to get the Apollo 11 lunar landing site classified as a historic site and preserved so we won’t lose it to condominium developers and 7-11’s.
I think this is a great idea, but it’s not something we’re going to have to worry about anytime soon, even with NASA’s desire to return […]
Image Credit: Apollo Image Archive
The Apollo Image Archive is scanning the film from the Apollo missions into high resolution digital files.
The resolution will be roughly 20 feet, which means that objects larger than this will be resolved when you look at the images. Anything smaller than this will just be a blur.
They are […]
I can see it coming.
With all that’s happened to NASA this past year it’s gonna see more budget cuts. NASA’s image is becoming one of mismanagement and a place for scary high-school romances.
And let’s face it, NASA is a party agency. All the other agencies kinda look down on them for that.
It’s becoming […]
I guess this explains the cost of the International Space Station.
The Government Accounting Office (GAO) released this report saying that over the last 10 years, 94 million dollars in equipment has been lost. On the first page of the report is this little gem:
“This computer, although assigned to me, was being used on board […]
Sorry, I couldn’t resist. This has been a bad week for NASA, lots of crazy, weird stuff being found out about our beloved space agency.
First, there was an astronaut wearing diapers, then we find out she wasn’t wearing diapers.
Now they have people running around cutting wires on space computers for a boondoggle space station […]
In a hearing held yesterday on the status of the space shuttle and the International Space Station, former manager of NASA’s space station program Tommy Holloway testified that getting stuff up to the space station might not be possible when the shuttle is retired.
Apparently, the vehicles that will replace the space shuttle aren’t even close […]
