More On Hair In case sitting on hair doesn’t do it for you, here is another solution for what to do with the 60 million tons of human hair that get dumped into landfills each year. OttiMat™ has taken the natural oil adsorbing properties of human hair to help clean up large oil spills in the oceans. Adsorbing, as opposed to “absorbing”, means the hair holds on to the oil without soaking it in making it easy to squeeze out the oil and immediately ready for reuse. It was successfully used in the

Think a week’s worth of seasonal cold might undo all that pesky global warming mess? Put that wishful thinking away in the desk drawer and attend to findings from two NASA scientists. They report that more than 2 trillion tons of land-based ice in Greenland, Antarctica and Alaska have melted since 2003. More than half of this amount comes from melting ice on land masses in Greenland and Alaska, raising sea levels at an accelerating rate. Don’t pack away that sweater yet; you’ll still need it f

Museums around the country that have expressed interest in obtaining a genuine flown-in space shuttle are being told by NASA that it's really going to cost them. How much? A mere $42 million -- including $6 million for shipping and handling. That's the pricetag NASA intends to set for cleaning up any of the three remaining shuttles -- which are scheduled to be retired in 2010 or shortly thereafter -- and delivering an orbiter to the airport closest to the museum. Never before has NASA char

This is a song by a couple of DJ's called N.A.S.A (North America South America) featuring that Swedish singer Lykke Li, Kanye West and Santogold. I can't stop listening to this.

Most of my life, the Big Bang Theory has pretty much dominated the “beginning of time” argument.  In essence, all matter, energy, etc., began as one event.  Before that, there basically... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

Imagine something almost 4 times the size of Texas, or 55 times the size of Maryland or 335 times the size of Delaware.

What next? Andrew Chaikin “The first stop? Even space advocates can’t agree. Some say that going back to the moon will never excite the public, and that it’s a distraction from the real destination, Mars. Others insist a lunar return is essential for learning how to live off-planet, and could allow development of resources for use in space and on an increasingly energy-hungry Earth. “To me, it’s a pointless argument. Both the moon and Mars are spectacular worlds with enormous potential. I

Daily Picture: The Journey Home December 17th, 2008 (NASA) - Fresh from the STS-126 mission space shuttle Endeavour, mounted atop its modified Boeing 747 carrier aircraft, flew over California’s Mojave Desert on its way back to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Dec. 10, 2008.

A Test From the Past Helps Determine Success for the Future of Ares I-X December 17th, 2008 (NASA) - In front of the console, his right hand on a dial, John Meador sang out, “I’m at 85.” “Taking data,” Dean Heald responded from behind his laptop computer. Between them, Tom Ivanco looked up at a screen, where red-lighted letters indicated instrument readings. In front of the three was a wall of small windows, though which you could see a shiny, aluminum model of Ares I-X shimmy ever so sl

Between 1.5 trillion and 2 trillion tons of ice in Greenland, Antarctica and Alaska have melted at an accelerating rate since 2003, according to NASA scientists. The losses amounted to enough water to fill the Chesapeake Bay 21 times. In the past five years, Greenland has lost between 150 gigatons and 160 gigatons each year, (one gigaton equals one billion tons) or enough to raise global sea levels about .5 mm per year. The mountain glaciers in the Gulf of Alaska lost about 84 gigatons each ye

A scale-model plasma rocket engine that is to be tested at the International Space Station could be delivered in 2012 by a NASA Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) program launch system.

Check out the first mention of Global Warming, here. In other news, congratulations to the winner of this week’s Xbox 360 console and games giveaway: Julie J! And thanks to everyone for participating. Bossy now returns you to your regularly scheduled global meltdown, already in progress.

This week on the podcast, Kyle and I got together to talk with our friend Dave about issues surrounding NASA and the aerospace industry as a new presidential administration is preparing to take office, and our country’s financial future is as uncertain as ever.  Some notes for this week’s show: NASA’s Black Hole Budgets, from the New York Times Beyond the Moon, a study from the Planetary Society, via New Scientist ‘R2-D2? and Other Lessons From Bell Labs, from the New York Times EAA SpaceShipT

The event began with little warning when a gentle gust of solar wind delivered a bundle of magnetic fields from the Sun to Earth. Like an octopus wrapping its tentacles around a big clam, solar magnetic fields draped themselves around the magnetosphere and cracked it open. “The opening was huge—four times wider than Earth itself,” says Wenhui Li, a space physicist at the University of New Hampshire who has been analyzing the data. He’s talking about a breach in the earth’s magnetic field, a
