Another comet,asteroids, another mission to Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, and moons. More data on heliosphere. A modest space telescope measuring parallax. I am not proposing flagship missions just something so we can see something new a little m

I can see this is a problem but I see teenagers (and adult for that matter) doing similar things in cars (and larger trucks and SUVs). I do not know how to stop them either.

How are the rental ones (and scooters). I do not have a smart phone (and live in a rural area). I go into Austin now and then for a day or two and am reluctant to use sisters e-bike because of the hassle of taking care of it (when going ins

I have been using a flip phone always (since the early part of the century anyways). Some time I have carried a smartphone (without service) to serve as a camera and have a little connectivity (wifi) for looking stuff up when away from the

Sure delays are expected but "But the reactor itself won't fire up fully until 2039 at the earliest." That is 19 years delayed and big cost overruns as well. I Hope it goes well. I would like to see fusion power. But it is a

A short interesting article. It might be useful for more people to think about money in a slightly different way. Also, it probably deserves a little more thought when picking leaders, people with money have very different priorities when t

I am a Spurs fan and will be interested in how another tall player, Victor Wembanyama, will do. Olivier Rioux has a year or two before the NBA but I worry a little about the really tall players health. It is a little painful to even watch
