I wish we had a say in where our tax money goes. In this case I would have opted for a Wall mart camera. I think they are holding back magnificent images.

If you wrap a waterhose around a rotating shaft many times and turn the water on the shaft will start rotating. The same thing will happen with a insulated wire wrapped around a central well balanced rotating shaft if you turn up the amps.

They say electrons flow in a wire like water flows in a garden hose. If this is so then electrons can provide a reaction force within the wire just as water does within a garden hose but this force would be much smaller. It can be proven in an experiment.

"Errorist why do you keep putting the Cassini Huygens probe down when you really should be applauding its success."

I do applaude the mission. However, the pictures show the true picture. Galileo was magnificent while Cassini is a throwback to the 70s.In my opinion a waste of tax payer money. Unless,they can show me conclusive proof of better photos than Galileo.A picture is worth a thousand words.Don't tell me it is better show me it is better.

1 to 30 ratio sounds good to me. It would be like living in the cave man days. You would wake up in the morning in the martian cave and order your women to cook you breakfast and to warm the place up some. However, Prochoice would be out of the question. Prochoice = Murder in Gods book.

The heck with this bickering none of it makes sense. Lets get back to the aerogel mirror????

"Using the mirror and cameras built for Hubble is generally a good idea. However, as I said my opinion is that we need to ensure we can service a telescope and keep costs down before launching anything else. This will be the last service of Hubble, it's life will eventually come to an end. Then we should launch a dramatically improved telescope. I would suggest starting with medium Earth orbit (MEO) where it's orbit is stable without using fuel. That would require a manned vehicle that can travel from LEO (where any shuttle would park) to MEO and back. An on-orbit tug with a CEV style capsule could do it, but we don't have it yet. Yes, I would like that vehicle to be reusable as well. Also give it a larger mirror; a single-piece large mirror could be launched on edge to keep aerodynamics down. Russia proposed launching a disk shaped lander for Mars on the side of an Energia. If Russia can do it, can't America? Let the engineers debate whether it's better to side launch like Shuttle-C or on top of an EELV. Do you think astronomers would like a 24 metre space telescope? But we're not ready for that yet, so let's keep Hubble."

Aerogel Mirror!!!

Perhaps this can help your child somehow?

I was thinking of building it in many sections on the space station using a reator to make the Aerogel. It would weigh less than 1000 lbs when finished.

How dare they infringe on my right to carry arms on aircraft???
How else am I to protect myself on airplanes? I think I am going to sue them!!!!!!!
