NASA to burn Space station in 2016 !
Though it is from NASA, enough is enough.
We want to see Space station delivered first to Moon orbit, than landed o Moon as a research station.
How it will reach Moon orbit? Booster rockets. How it will descent to Moon? Using retro rockets, than in the last phase inflatable balloons like at Mars rovers. Or /and space cranes like in latest Mars lab to be used in 2012.
Make a Moon hotel if nothing else. We desperately need a lunar base there. Regardless how old it is. Anything is simply better than nothing.

Patented Aerial Capsule Emergency Separation Device MLASHow it could be patented when Jules Verne proposed it in 1865 in his novel from Earth to Moon. Compare his illustrations at that book with the picture on the left. And springs at the bottom (Ares launch rocket have to use them too). Well, the first time we needed to beat Russians at Moon race. Now seems Chinese Moon aspirations.

The roots below Ipot psyhodelic touch and feel
The letter, written just after Hoffmann's 101st birthday [Who said drugs were bad for you? - Ed] addressed Jobs. The letter has been revealed in a new book, "This is your country on drugs: The secret history of getting high in America."Steve Jobs seems used so much dope for outstanding hardware design inspiration that he in the end needed urgent liver reboot err. transplantation.

That is the real engine behind what have driven up PC revolution.

Goldman Sachs trading sou(r)ce code in a wild
Visions of swirling, gray storm clouds over Goldman's SLP and hi-fi traders begin to form.
BAD HARDWARE verdict: Umm, seems a lot of unlawful operations with some 850K lines of top secret code.
I like this part of charge from picture above: photographed source code. :)
NASA simply can't do the goal of being on the Moon by 2020
Constellation is projected to cost about 150 billion dollars, but estimates for the Ares 1 have skyrocketed from 26 billion dollars in 2006 to 44 billion dollars last year.
InterPlanetaryNet (TM) is on !
The interplanetary internet now has its first permanent node in space, aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
Its new capability has already speeded up the transfer of data back to Earth by about four times, says BioServe's Kevin Gifford. If data is lost during a link, the system automatically transmits lost data later. Until nowm someone had to schedule a second attempt.

First (a) man at Moon is suspiciously quiet
"To my knowledge he has done two television interviews in the last 40 years - and he says nothing about what he felt about anything. He will talk about matters of fact and that's it"The music he took on the mission to the Moon was deeply eccentric," says Smith. "Most astronauts took one classical piece, and one country and western.Two years after his historic journey, in August 1971, Armstrong left Nasa and decided to become a teacher."
Ostensibly, it was a very strange decision. He could have done anything," says Smith.
BAD HARDWARE: He couldn't stand fake Moon landings out any more? He was afraid of quandary questions about his own Moon landing after that ?
