NASA Science News for March 12, 2010

cycle.

Like economics: Interpolate perfectly (needing only N-1 parameters
for N points); extrapolate "more studies are needed."

So Uncle Al drags his butt down to the local humongous university with
its mammoth science library (and equally large parking fees) that now
mostly consists of terminals and USB ports. He turns on, tunes in,
and searches for "gravitation" "journals" in the card (byte?)
catalog. What does He get?

5 journals
14 NASA microgravity periodicals

NASA - Shiiiiit IIIIIIn Spaaaaace!
