You meant Saturn V instead of Apollo, right?

Pluto was nothing like the "other" planets. I'm glad it's not considered an actual planet anymore. Just because you're spinning around the Sun, doesn't make you a planet, you know...

Ha! My inductively coupled plasma has 6000 degrees celsius!

Also, the Moon is on a freefall too. A closed freefall, like ISS or Moon's is called an orbit.

En contraire, it covers anyone who is willing to spend 85$ for the ticket. I'm telling you, it's fully worth it! Details, here: http://www.spacecenter.org/Prices.html

Every Level 9 visitor of Johnson Space Center can hold in his hands the (original) Apollo 11 Lunar Surface Operation Plan, probably used and touched by Gene Krantz and others, while visiting the historical Apollo mission control room. It's on the left side of the room, stockpiled with other various files.

Sailor Moon?

Superman didn't flew in Action Comics #1. He just leap tall buildings in a single bound.

Honestly, I think that even in this current state, pushing Constellation to the Moon is not such a high expense for the US. The extra money NASA needs for this cannot be compared to the cost of War, money pumped into the financial system or national deficit. The current administration does not lack the money for the Moon and Mars. They lack the will and the determination for such a thing.

Sir, I couldn't agree more! I wasn't born in 1969 and I was hoping to live the day when man will step on Mars. Sadly, this will not happen during my lifetime. Thank you, Obama.

I never measured, but sometimes I spend hours in a room with two vacuum pumps, two water chillers (one for the spectrometer and one for the laser) and two PCs. It's so loud that when someone enters the room and I just see him/her next to me, that scares the hell out of me, since I cannot hear the door or their steps/movements.

I was hoping for a bigger screen, to match the comic book format. It would have been a nice comics reader. Without USB and with a smaller screen, well... dunno...

I'll buy an ebook reader when it will be able do display CBR/CBZ formats, in a readable form.

Thanks so much for the tip! I work in a lab and I have two computers, one for controlling a mass spectrometer and one for a laser system and when I do measurements, I use both of them in the same time. I got confused a few times, since they have different keyboard and mouse, but now that I know about synergy, things will work faster, less confusing and I'll gain some space on my tiny desk.
