it was actually well over 50K 'signatures' this morning, just before he announced. interesting mashup of free services, too; a posterous site linked to a GoogleDocs spreadsheet. http://offenerbrief.posterous.com/

Submission + - Signs of Life Detected on the Moon? (spacefellowship.com)

Matt_dk writes: Surendra Pal, associate director of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) Satellite Centre says that Chandrayaan-1 picked up signatures of organic matter on parts of the Moon’s surface. “The findings are being analyzed and scrutinized for validation by ISRO scientists and peer reviewers,” Pal said. At a press conference Tuesday at the American Geophysical Union fall conference, scientists from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter also hinted at possible organics locked away in the lunar regolith. When asked directly about the Chandrayaan-1 claim of finding life on the Moon, NASA’s chief lunar scientist, Mike Wargo, certainly did not dismiss the idea.

o bullshit. many countries in the world have
more than double the electricity prices the
US allows itself. not the end of the world.

it's a matter of priorities, and of lobbies.

check out the http://www.renewables2004.de/
conference that started today. there are a
lot of alternative energy sources that are
viable if you are willing to change your ways.
(that, btw, would be a lot closer to being on
par with fossil-fuel-based power if we hadn't
collectively spent our inheritance on nuclear
power in the last 50 years.)
