Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility: News Releases
Topic: Science 2:11 pm EST, Dec 30, 2006

Grand Canyon National Park is not permitted to give an official estimate of the geologic age of its principal feature, due to pressure from Bush administration appointees.

My first reaction to these things is always "you can't be serious."

Update: Apparently, they're not! Thanks, PEER, for demonstrating that advocacy groups are often just as full of shit as the people they are are protesting.

Topic: Science 10:27 am EST, Dec 29, 2006

I decided to create my list of Best Astronomy Pictures of 2006. I went through hundreds of images (maybe thousands), checking NASA, APOD, the ESA, BAUT, and a few dozen amateur and professional sites featuring pictures as well.

Topic: Science 7:49 pm EST, Nov 15, 2006

The Ukrainian government offered to lau­nch DSCOVR free of charge, France made a similar offer. But NASA's response so far has been "no thanks."

LAUNCH IT!

Cosmic Log : 'Lost in Space' missions
Topic: Science 7:39 pm EST, Nov 15, 2006

Park said sending DSCOVR to the L1 gravitational balance point is "the most important thing we could be doing in space right now."

Park pressed for the mission to proceed in a New York Times op-ed piece earlier this year, and several other articles have bemoaned DSCOVR's descent into limbo.

LAUNCH IT!

POLITICS PUTS $100 MILLION SATELLITE ON ICE
Topic: Science 5:29 pm EST, Nov 15, 2006

NASA has spent almost $100 million in taxpayer money to build a satellite that is headed for a storage bin in Maryland.

Triana was scheduled for a November flight into space, where it would measure ozone in the Earth's atmosphere while also beaming round-the-clock photos of Earth to the Internet.

But now, some fear it may never fly.

The cause of the costly hibernation: presidential politics and conflicting views -- many of them partisan...

LAUNCH IT!

Topic: Science 4:43 pm EST, Nov 15, 2006

I wonder if you could make money with a cable channel that just showed pictures from a low-earth-orbit satellite in HD?

It turns out Glenn Reylonds and I agree about something. Apparently so does Al Gore. (I like the LEO version a bit better, but what I mostly want to do is know how I can help make this happen...) Does anyone here have an understanding of the economics of this?
