Are We Being Overly Cautious In Going Back To The Moon?







Are We Being Overly Cautious In Going
Back To The Moon?

Are We Being Overly Cautious In Going
Back To The Moon?
01/17/2004 10:47 PM

Someone who prefers to remain anonymous writes "Check out Marshall Brain's blog this morning. He writes about Bush's plan to return to the moon. What Brain says is fascinating and right on target: "At the start of 1958, America had never had anything in orbit and NASA did not even exist.... Yet, despite our total ignorance and lack of technology, we went from NOTHING all the way to man-on-the-moon in just 11 years." Then he looks at Bush's plan to put us back on the moon in sixteen years and asks, what does this tell us? Despite all of the technological advancement since 1958, we are now SLOWER than we were!" While this is an interesting comparison, we certainly don't know all the details surrounding the timeline and why it was chosen. If sixteen years means doing certain things right, rather than risking lives, then there's nothing wrong with that. Also, if the plan is designed in a way that it's not a "one-time" shot - but set up to further exploration, then it might make sense. Meanwhile, other science-fiction writers weigh in with both positive and negative responses to the plan.

Bush's well-leaked call for a serious expansion of human space exploration deserves support. He sounded just the right notes, including this so-true line: "We do not know where this journey will end. Yet we know this: Human beings are headed into the cosmos."

Overly-pleasant spam


Overly-pleasant spam 01/09/2004 09:53 PM
Here's an unanticipated effect of spam. Spam showing up in blog comments increasingly tries to pass itself off as a genuine comment. So, I've been getting spams that say how interesting my blog is and how much they care about what I have to say. How touching! Other comment spam disguises itself in the form of some bromide so generic that it can apply to any blog article and so bland that no one will object to it. For example, "Pamela Woodlake" recently spammed an entry on Andrew Odlyzko's comparison of broadband and cell phone adoption rates with the...

SALT LAKE CITY -- Novell may be a U.S. company, but as a Linux vendor it is still struggling for respect in a U.S. market dominated by Red Hat. But over the last year Jack Messman's company has tightened up relationships with vendors like IBM, Dell, and Hewlett-Packard, and the Novell chairman and CEO hopes to eventually leverage those relationships to bring Novell's Suse Linux success not only to the U.S., but also other international markets. Still, Messman says that China, one of the fastest-growing and largest markets in the world, is not on his radar just yet.

Success
06/01/2004 09:08 AM

med_psp_front.jpg imageApparently I'm not the only one tentative about the success of Sony's upcoming portable game console, the PSP. Analysts in Tokyo are keeping their distance until Sony decides to reveal more of their game plan, specifically as it pertains to retail price (which will likely fall between $200 and $300). While Sony continues to swear it has a hit on its hands -- especially Sony Computer Entertainment president (and father of the Playstation) Ken Kutaragi, who continues to claim the PSP is "the Walkman of the 21st century" -- some analysts, like UFJ Tsubasa Securities' Takashi Oka think that Nintendo's dominance of the market will be a harder egg to crack than Sony expects. They did it once, seizing on Nintendo's seemingly-trivial exclusion of a CD-ROM drive from the Nintendo 64, and Sony is betting that the addition of an optical drive will lead them to success again.
