For those in the U.S., tonight's The West Wing has an interesting side
story
where some NASA folks make a presentation to a political lackey and get
blown
off. One of these scientists takes this guy outside of DC to a dark site
and
sets up an 8" Meade and shows him Jupiter, Mars, and M42. He's blown away
and
inspired to support a Mars mission.

I noticed that Josh mentioned to the NASA chick that he and an x-girlfriend
had a star named after them. NASA chick mentions something like
"International Star Registry". I was waiting ... waiting ... for NASA chick
to tell him that it was crap, but it never happened. VERY disappointing.
