Europa Mission: Check.

I have tried not to hope.  I have been critical of NASA.  I have acted as though I really didn't care.  But srsly, I really did care.  I'm going to catch you up on the news but basically the bottom line is ... NASA can't take it back now.  Also, I think it's appropriate that they bring it along in case they find somewhere to put it.

Jupiter, as you can imagine, has been the news a lot lately.  Couple of things:  you can see Jupiter without a telescope?  Am I reading that right?  Well, that's great news!  Also, here's a couple of reasons why we're going, and for that matter, why you should look up once in awhile.

And this is just a really cool map, a compilation if you will, of where all the water is in the solar system.  You know, in case you've already built a space ship and you are interested in exploring.  Or in case we run out of water and it's really efficient to go get some from some of these places.  Or, better yet, we hit those places first as alternate living sites.  Logic.  What will they think of next?

It's a new era.  It's a jump-started old era.  Pota(y)to, pota(h)to.

Wouldn't you love to go to CU?  I know I would.

Later this week:  a review and some pics of the Chicago ComicCon.  I know San Diego is the bees-knees of cons but Chicago was the biggest one I've been to.  Wicked cool.
