On the Bottom Half

Roberta Bondar, Neurologist, Astronaut.

An article from CBC caught my eye today. Roberta Bondar discusses the future of human space exploration and Canada's role in it.

Anyone out there willing to nominate me for CSA President ;-) Oh nuts, I'd need to be an astronaut first, though, huh? Hmm, have to work on that.

In that vein, I went out to see Comet McNaught last night, which is truly spectacular! Like Hale-Bop, but with a much more intricate tail. Totally awesome. However, since my camera isn't with me, I'll show the picture taken by the Siding Spring Observatory, on 20 Jan. For those of you curious, Siding Spring is in the Warrambungles of NSW, Australia.


It's a pretty awesome comet. And, you won't see it again for 300,000 years, so look closely!

I direct your attention to the new links on the right sidebar to the Union of Concerned Scientists website. In particular, check out the 'Scientific Abuses from A to Z' page and the ExxonMobil Global Warming Report.
