THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER

They’re finally putting more windows in the International Space Station.

“Every time we’ve encountered Mercury, we’ve discovered new phenomena,” said Sean Solomon, the [NASA] mission’s principal investigator at the Carnegie Institution of Washington. “We’re learning that Mercury is an extremely dynamic planet, and it has been so throughout its history. After MESSENGER has been safely inserted into orbit around Mercury next March, we’ll be in [...]

Boo-hoo. Hollywood strikes out again. Its 2004 climate-change doom-and-gloom flicker, “The Day After Tomorrow,” predicting an ice age for Britain and Europe thanks to global warming slowing the Gulf Stream ocean current, isn’t surviving scientific scrutiny. What small changes there’ve been in the Atlantic current since sat inspections began in 1993 apparently are only part [...]

New discoveries of significant amounts of water (at least six-feet of water ice in each of forty craters) on what was long considered a bone-dry Luna show why today’s AGW to-do hardly can be considered “settled”: “If you converted those craters’ water into rocket fuel, you’d have enough fuel to launch the equivalent of one [...]

Ugh: the pols aren’t going to let the bloated NASA bureaucracy’s deeply unimaginative return-to-the-moon program die.  I have to give Barry credit for trying to cancel  Constellation in favor of private enterprise. Even former Apollo astronaut Buzz Aldrin likes the idea. Which is not to say I expect the anti-business president to do much for [...]

That’s this year, according to NASA’s shrill sign-waving climate "scientist" James Hansen, and it was the opening line of the Copenhagen climate conference. As if the gang that couldn’t keep from destroying two space shuttles, killing everyone aboard including a school teacher they recruited for the privilege, could possibly know what happened to the October [...]

Amazing what a high-resolution satellite camera can do. These are some details of the Abalos Undae sand dunes. Meanwhile, a permanent moon base gets another boost. Via Simply Jews.

At least in ice at the poles. Now it appears it may also be available in ice at lower latitudes as well. Not that it matters to Obamalot. They ain’t willing to go there either. Gotta fix earth first, apparently. If it takes a thousand years.

We’ve heard several times that there may be water on Luna. In the form of ice on the surface, and, perhaps, some liquid underground. NASA is expected to unveil Thursday research showing "a lot of water" exists on the surface. From the AAAS journal Science advancer to Science writers: "…three reports utilize data collected by [...]
