Back to the moon
If you were paying attention to the news today, you probably heard that NASA unveiled plans to return humans to the moon by 2020 (other sources: here and here). The price tag is a relatively inexpensive $104bn. It's an interesting story, but I'm so short on time this week I don't have time to comment. I'll just say this: interesting. (Profound, eh?)
In related links, I noticed one at Cynical-C to Interactive Moon Maps. You can zoom in to regions of the moon and look at the various features. It reminds me of when I was a kid and my local library had a moon globe that I thought was just sooo cool.
