Last October President Obama signed the NASA Authorization Act of 2010 which had a requirement to study heavy-lift alternatives to the space shuttle that can be launched sooner and more cheaply than the Ares I / Ares V combination of the George W. Bush era. The NASAspaceflight.com website gives word that a preliminary report released yesterday recommends a shuttle-derived option but warns that no option meets the ambitious timetable at the specified budget.
Booster-heads will be interested to learn the three heavy-lift approaches under study: 1) Shuttle-derived, 2) a Saturn V-inspired kerosene / liquid Hydrogen throwback or Falcon XX muscle missile, and 3) a scaled-up EELV.

In the race to throw stimulus money at infrastructure projects, one shovel-ready project is the IPv6 conversion. While not as stimulating as a needed freeway interchange or clean energy plant, the slow rate of IPv6 adoption may equally hamper the next stage of economic expansion.

I'm not a power user, but Usenet made me feel like one. By traversing topic trees or keyword searching Google Groups, I was often delighted to learn that my wide-ranging quests had already been answered, or at least I could find an audience receptive to those questions. This seems no longer true for Usenet, and Google searches of the entire Internet do not seem to uncover similar sects. Has anyone adequately explained the fall of Usenet? Is there a new, improved way to find and communicate with scattered peoples who share a common interest?
