Secret Soviet plans for a lunar military
base 09/22/2004 06:16 AM
David Pescovitz: Thirty years ago, the Russian military allegedly developed plans to build a base on the Moon. According to MosNews, the Novaya Gazeta weekly got the story from the project-deputy general designer of the General Machine Building Design Bureau (KBOM) who was directly involved in the project.

"Soviet scientists considered the Moon to be a very good place for a strategic headquarters as nuclear strikes on its surface would lose most of their destructive force. As the moon has no atmosphere, no shockwave could spread there and the radioactive dust would immediately fall out back on the surface without an atmosphere to carry it.

The designer also said that the USA had also developed a lunar base project and the Soviet scientists had been aware of these plans."

The source, Aleksandr Yegorov, said the Soviet plan was scrapped because... (surprise!) it was too damn expensive. Link (to the MosNews article) Link (to a history of Russian lunar base programs)

NASA Considers Robot to Save Hubble (AP)

NASA Considers Robot to Save Hubble (AP) 05/01/2004 05:28 PM
AP - Think Edward Scissorhands, but with bolt drivers and pliers for hands and a giraffelike neck topped with a pair of cameras resembling black cratered eyes instead of the handsome head of Johnny Depp. Could this strange robot take the place of astronauts in fixing the Hubble Space Telescope? NASA is yearning to find out.

Time Warner Considers Mobile Phone
Dabble 06/24/2004 09:47 AM

Feeling pressured by various phone companies' ability to bundle cable television, internet, and cellular service to their customers, Time Warner is making noise about moving into the mobile provider market itself. Hey maybe they could buy up MCI and become MCI/Time Warner or something? I bet no one would get fired over that.

Don't except Time Warner to do much more than dip a toe in the market, though. They'll most likely end up selling rebranded service a la Virgin Mobile or MTV or my mom or whoever else is reselling services these days. And maybe they'll rape repurpose one of the Loony Tunes characters again, like they did with Roadrunner. I'm sure everyone would love to purchase sputtering cell phone coverage from Porky Pig.
