Submission + - NJ museum revives TIROS satellite dish after 40 years 2

evanak writes: TIROS was NASA's Television Infrared Observation Satellite. It launched in April 1960. One of the ground tracking stations was located at the U.S. Army's secret "Camps Evans" Signals Corps electronics R&D laboratory. That laboratory (originally a Marconi wireless telegraph lab) became the InfoAge Science Center in the 2000s. Today, after many years of restoration, InfoAge volunteers (led by Princeton U. professor Dan Marlowe) successfully received data from space. The dish is now operating for the first time in 40 years!

It's about time that Congress and the administration are both on the same page. This is long overdue ! There will be many innocent people who will not have to suffer from the discrimination by employers and Health insurance companies. Although it's obvious Bush signed it only due to the fact the his veto would have been overturned by Congress--there is an overwhelming majority on this bill to override the veto-- so he was just playing ball , so to speak.
