You're not going to find a magic money-printing machine that will give you these types of reliable returns year-after-year. NOAA and NWS don't just keep us safe - they create immense value for the American taxpayer.

Why is this a surprise to the FOP? He said he was going to pardon them.

Here’s a great starter pack list of women in space, astronomy and scicomm!

Thank you!! Wonderful list🚀!

Remembering the World Timecapsule Project There have also been other attempts over the years — some little known — to duplicate the Voyager record’s noble goals. One of those projects was called the World Timecapsule.

Back in the 1990s I worked on a unique educational project called The World Timecapsule, which was inspired by the Voyager Golden Records. I now had the chance to write a remembrance of the project for @Supercluster and it feels like a great wrap up for my career www.supercluster.com/editorial/re...

The New Mars Landing Approach: How We'll Land Large Payloads on the Red Planet Back in 2007, I talked with Rob Manning, engineer extraordinaire at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and he told me something shocking. Even though he had successfully led the entry, descent, and landin...

I wrote an article back in 2007 about how engineering experts in Entry, Descent and Landing (EDL) thought it might not be possible to land a human mission on Mars. I checked in with Rob Manning from JPL for an update, and the outlook has changed considerably.www.universetoday.com/169697/the-n...

I have met so many wonderful people in this field, had the chance to interview incredible scientists, engineers and astronauts, watch stunning rocket launches and visit so many spacey places. I'll forever hold all this in my heart. It's been amazing. 4/n

It's been a great run, a “second” career that I’ve absolutely loved and could have never imagined back when I was a teacher at a science museum and later worked at a library. 3/8
