Nova (PBS) Tuesday - EXCELLENT Program

We should explore space at all cost even without the hope of profit.
Knowledge is everything and money is nothing.

A plea, gently requested, not to cross-post, and, PLEASE, change the
subject line, if not yet finshed with the Mars Rover, from Nova
(Excellent), to say, Mars Rover, etc. Thanks.

Dear Everybody--Nova (PBS) normally airs on Tuesday evenings
and will do so again, Tuesday, January 6th. It will be the
same excellent program that aired tonight (Sunday) but promises
to include in its last five minutes the latest images (in color)
from Gusev Crater (what is believed to have once been a terminal
lake basin) on Mars.

These rovers are like remote geologists on wheels... It's the best
we can do right now as they extend some of our senses down to the
planet's surface!

"Seeing In The Dark" by Timothy Ferris
Pages 286-287

Perhaps the key to dying well--or living well--is to have laid in a
stock of worthy memories. To that end, when darkness is falling for
good, it is well to have in mind, in addition to memories of human love
and loss and of the natural splendors of this world--of birdsong at
dawn, the roaring spray of the surf, the sweet smell of the air in the
eye of a hurricane, the workings of bees in the throats of
wildflowers--a few memories of the other worlds as well. If you have
seen plasma arches rising off the edge of the Sun, yellow dust storms
raging on Mars, angry red Io emerging from the shadow of Jupiter, the
golden rings of Saturn, the green dot of Uranus, and the blue dot of
Neptune, the glittering star fields of Sagittarius and the delicate
tendrils connecting interacting galaxies, have watched auroras and
meteors writing silent signatures in the sky--if, in short, you have
seen not only this world but something of the other worlds, too--well,
you have lived.

So, while life is in us, and we are in it, let's keep our eyes open.


Sam,

I'm afraid that crossposting to sci.physics (a wellknown cesspool of trolls
and flamewars) has brought one of their trolls into our community!

A quick search shows he never made a valid contribution to our NG.

So there we go:

On the rest of the points, I will simply say: Yes, I would prefer it
that way. You do not. That's fine; we have elections to resolve this
kind of thing.


Elections and democracy is only an illusion. Everything is controlled by the
Illuminati.
