Self cross-promotion 
Our two (inno)cents' worth
| | Here's what surprised me most about my six-year-old's response yesterday: he was glued to the news. All day long. Not on TV ("They keep showing the same thing over and over"), but on radio ("Gee, the Israeli astronaunt had four kids"). Every time we got back in the car he wanted me to find a news station that might have more fresh information about What Happened. |
| | As usual, blogs don't always lead with the news, but they reliably make it personal. |

Found some floridatoday things you should take a look at, there on the blog.

Probably going to watch "the dream is alive" on DVD today, the IMAX movie.
Just another day in orbit for two Americans and one Russian.

Is their another shuttle. You bet there is. It's Enterprise, and it's at the Air and Space Museum new Annex which is supposed to open this spring at Dulles Airport. Can NASA get it back, yes, they have in the past taken articles from NASM and flown them in space. It would cost a lot less to refit Enterprise, but it's going to take some work to get Congress to see the light. You can not have an International Space Station and get by on just three shuttles.

I want to recommend an item on policy and the Columbia disaster to everyone's attention:
HAIL COLUMBIA: A BUDGET WONK RESPONSE
"What would the funding stream tell you about blame for the tragedy? In and of itself, I would say nothing at all. What matters is whether the funding was adequate to the mission. You can't tell that from the numbers alone. You would need a reasonable cost estimate for the mission(s), then a determination of whether these costs were met, in terms of dollars and managerial oversight of government employees and contractors. (In case you didn't know, contractors need oversight too.) The maxim here is not 'follow the money,' but follow the pols. What did they know, and when did they know it. What did they demand, and what did they provide?"
