The Moon, Europa

The Moon, Europa

Thursday, April 28, 2011

Wow - It's been a few weeks, hasn't it?

It's your (bi-monthly) linkspam update.  First, the bad news:  SETI is (temporarily?) shutting down the use of their Alien Array Telescopes.  The reason:  budget.  I'm not sure if it has more to do with the budget of the Hat Creek Observatory or SETI but the project has been shut down for now. 

The good news is tangential.  I think the exploration of hostile places on Earth coupled with the interest to parlay that into space exploration is always good news.  Practice here so we can go to Europa.  Most importantly, any serious interest in Europa (and space exploration) makes NASA or ESA (hopefully) make space exploration generally and a trip to Europa specifically that much more possible.

And speaking of interest in space exploration and Europa, did you know that there is still a space camp?  Well, there is.  And they like Europa too.
