While You’ve Been Grooving on Fiction About Tatooine, NASA’s Been Doing This . . .

Cruising asteroids . . .

It’ll only touch the surface for a short period of time—about five seconds—which is long enough to collect a sample. It collects a sample by blowing nitrogen gas onto the regolith, sending fine-grained material above the surface, to be captured by TAGSAM. It’ll then measure the amount of material in the sample to see if it’s enough. NASA wants to collect a 60 gram (2.1 oz.) sample.

NASA has a novel method of weighing the sample. Once they’ve collected a sample they’ll fire the thrusters to back away from Bennu. Then, with the TAGSAM extended, they’ll spin the spacecraft. They’ll measure the inertia and compare it to a previous spin with the TAGSAM extended, but empty.

Cruising Mars (eat your heart out, Spielberg) . . .

And cruising comets . . .

Rosetta was launched in 2004 and took 10 years to reach its target, Comet 67P. It spent about two years studying it before ending its mission by crashing into the comet. Rosetta also dispatched the lander Philae to the surface, and in spite of a difficult landing that crippled its mission, the lander was still able to take images from the comet’s surface.

Just another Madlib Monday

Here is the concept. I hope all of you have at one time or another in your life played “Madlibs”. Basically a story has several nouns, verbs, adjectives etc. removed from it and you, the participant, provide some. All without knowing the story. Shall we give it the ol’ college try?

What I want is that each person post one word from the required list. Once the list is complete I will release the story so you can see the results. No double dipping on entries, we want as many participants as possible.

So that is your mission should you decide to accept it. Good luck Jim.

To The Moon

MoonJapanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa is going to the moon. Well, he plans to go to the moon. He’s suppose to be a passenger on a spaceship that Elon Musk is planning to send around the moon in 2023.

He’s not going alone. He wants to take artists to the moon with him. I think he’s bringing them back, though, so the Earth won’t be shed of them, so don’t get your hopes up.

He also wants to take a girlfriend with him. Only, he doesn’t have a girlfriend. So, he’s doing a TV show to find a girlfriend to take with him.

Let’s think about that for a minute. He’s a billionaire. He’s a huge Twitter star. He has his own TV show. And he does crazy stuff. Sounds like Donald Trump, right?

Well, Donald Trump has been able to get hot women. Yusaku Maezawa has to go on TV to find a girlfriend. Trump didn’t need to find a hot chick on TV, they came flocking to him.

How big of a jerk must this guy be to have billions of dollars and not be able to get a girlfriend without a TV show?

Say what you want about Donald Trump, but he’s been a rather effective president, and knows how to get the hot chicks.
