a few random comments
Well, who would have thought that the post that would get the most response would be on making Nan? It wouldn’t have been my guess but I can see why it is. Bread is something people can relate to.
A few random stats (not that any of you really care I am sure,)I got my first international visitor today(Welcome!). The state with the most hits to this blog is California, and hits from 18 states in total. Also one hit from “other”.(?)
Just read that NASA is grounding future shuttle flights because of more flying foam. I’m sorry, since when did space exploration become wussy? I know you don’t take pointless risks but you can’t bloody stop the whole program just because something might possibly happen! Launching oneself into space is inherently dangerous. Let’s get on and do the damn job! I am sure if you asked the astronauts they would be willing to take the chance, NASA is letting itself be governed by press, and public relations. Launch! And to hell with falling foam. IF the shuttle is unsafe then by god replace it! It is obsolete anyway. We can’t get a new one though because there has to be 6 billion safety checks and development reviews. In case you haven’t noticed folks, the space program is stagnating! Let’s here it for private enterprise that is finally getting into the game. I am eagerly watching companies like this and hoping them great success. They will probably fail but the next one might succeed. God knows the government is screwing it up as usual. Buried in red tape and terrified of taking a risk.

Exploding bolts is 50's technology. Why were they using them instead of a newer, better method, like a quick-disconnect lanyard? Oh wait! A defense contractor from the 50's had the means to gin up and make the exploding bolts! Why develop anything new?
My husband is the real booming voice on this one - he's a rocket guy. I wish he was here right now to repeat what he's been screaming for two weeks. I'll get back to you on this...Right now, I think the next step should be sattelites above Mars for observation of climate and environment. We may be in-between manned missions right now.
And in closing: It was not my idea to abandon math, science, or space.
For abandoning the Apollo program I will ALWAYS curse Nixon.
I don't blame the space programs current woes on a lack of science knowhow, I blame it on a cowardly fear of upsetting people, a PR driven, red tape blocked, bureaucrat swamped government run program. The NASA peopel of the 60's who hang their heads in shame over what has happened.
