3/15/2007 Space Radiation a Mars Mission-killer"Glory would be certain; early death a strong probability. Shielding options include placing the spaceship in a large protective mass, such as huge sphere of water five metres (16.25 feet) thick, which would provide similar protection to standing at an altitude of 5,500 metres (18,000 feet) on Earth." From Seed Magazine: Copyright 1998, University of Illinois 3/4/2007 Burning Man 2007 - First Lunar Eclipse on the PlayaFrom Tribe.net: Burning Man -- August 28, 2007: "It will be a total lunar eclipse right on the full moon; very visible while we're in BRC (Black Rock City) . It will not be the best seats on earth, but certainly the best on this continent, and we should get darkness for as much as an hour or so. This lunar eclipse is the highest magnitude lunar eclipse since July 2000, and the next highest magnitude won't beat this until June 2011 and July 2018 (neither visible in North America). As for BRC, the Burn has never seen a lunar eclipse. " Wasabi Spill on ISSFrom Space.com: "The spicy greenish condiment was squirted out of a tube while astronaut Sunita Williams was trying to make a pretend sushi meal with bag-packaged salmon. The three space station crew members are given a certain number of bonus packs of their favorite foods to help endure their months in space where most meals are the equivalent of military MREs." “We finally got the wasabi smell out after it was flying around everywhere,'' Williams told her mother this week in a conversation arranged by Boston radio station WBZ. “We cleaned it up off the walls a little bit.'' "Unfortunately for Williams, the wasabi tube has been banished to a cargo vehicle where it will stay packed away." |
