I was sworn at yesterday. No wait, I was sworn in. It was nice -- a little pomp and circumstance-y, but who doesn't like a little pomp and circumstance now and again? I like my job. Every morning when I park at the garage and walk through the streets of the city to my office, I feel good. I feel good about the work I am doing, I feel good about the hours, I feel good about my co-workers, I even feel...
Earlier this week, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft took its deepest dive ever through the center of the icy plume shooting out from the southern pole of Saturn’s moon Enceladus. NASA reports that the spacecraft survived Monday’s flyby in good health, and is now transmitting eagerly awaited data and images back to Earth. At its closest point, Cassini [...]
Ah, a headline to cheer the heart and lift the spirits. The longer an emissions reduction treaty can be delayed, the more the earth will fail to match the flawed climate models, and the more obvious it will be that anthropogenic carbon dioxide has little to do with the climate. We may, just, be able [...] Related posts: Climate negotiations “hit snag” Cory Bernardi – Petition against...
erin : I have this not so secret but rather unrealistic dream of going into space. I went to Space Camp, subscribed to a NASA photo service, watched and rewatched Apollo 13, went to rocket launches, and was going to be an astronaut… a long time ago. The reasons for my space romance are a few, but now I am mostly seduced by poetic sensations like looking back at the earth to see it globular,...
The sixth beatitude is, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God." It is one thing to look good on the outside, it is quite another to be internally pure. Deceit and hypocrisy are never pleasing to God because they are an implicit denial of his existence, or at the very least, a denial of his complete knowledge of all things. When we are merely content with external purity we...

Yesterday I talked about using Google Earth to get a sense for the grandeur of the huge, landscape-sized machines of experimental particle-physics. But Google Earth is also perfect for touring the holy sites of the other big science, astronomy, whether you want to check out the world's biggest telescopes or explore the stars. First stop: in the "Fly To" bar, type in "Very Large Array."...

Shortly after the planets inside our own solar system were formed, they began wobbling about, and roaming around, far from being caught in the well-defined orbits we see today. This chaotic motion is mainly responsible for the formation of the Moon, after Earth collided with a Mars-sized object that was circling the Sun on about the same orbit. These chaotic times have been history for billions of...
A young Wilson G. Tang celebrates his 68th birthday (Credit: CNET/The 404) Wilson G. Tang is happily celebrating his 25th birthday tomorrow, so we take a few minutes at the beginning of today's episode of The 404 podcast to congratulate the man on making it this far. Can you believe this fool has only been on Earth 25 years? I always assumed you could tell Wilson's age by counting the highlights in...
The Earth split in two. Pigs are flying. And monkeys are too ... from Obama's ass. Why, you ask? Because the MSM just called Obama on his insensitivity toward the people, and their families, who were murdered yesterday at Ft. Hood by a moonbat jihadi yelling "Allahu Akhbar." But instead of a somber chief executive offering reassuring words and expressions of sympathy and compassion, viewers...

It is made of [...]
The inherent assumption that certain life forms needed to be available in order to manage specific chemistries is likely suspect. It is reasonable to conjecture that some form of primitive life form emerged immediately that the rocks cooled sufficiently to allow the accumulation of water. That may not be true but obviously with additional time it becomes true. The question is what initial ecological...
