Wild story of the day
A hard hat dropped into the Mississippi river in 2015 is found on a beach in Ireland in 2020. We all know waters circulate, but it is amazing to think how far and wide they travel.

Thanks to the TV show I actually understand a little of what they are talking about in this article. (post in memory of Mike Nofsigner)
Space tourists
SpaceX says they will take three tourists to the ISS next year. While the idea of space tourists is at first pretty ridiculous and at a price tag of $55 million clearly elitist, on a longer term view, space tourism is probably a good thing as it will further commercialize and popularize space travel. Frankly, back in 1969, I thought that in the 2000s we’d have stations in orbit with large number of people living and working in space. Better late that never. (post in memory of Mike Nofsinger)

Mini moon
