Not until I drive. Neither half of my family is cut out for driving: my mom's blind, my stepdad hates camping and refuses to go on vacation without a motor home, and my dad works six days a week for Verizon. Hmm...if I was in L.A. I could at least take the Metrolink to Union Station, where I'd hop o...

How would a student go about teaching?
What do you think is the most effective way to teach about the Stardust project? I was considering burning a disc so I could use my teacher's computer and projector for examples of VM movies. But really, these kids are total idiots, not all of them, but most of them (you know the type: shaved head, ...

Well, let's all be glad that the volunteers don't get actual microscopes. I'm not good at any electronic things besides the computer. It took me over an hour once to figure out how to use a Xerox machine, plus the twenty minutes it took me to work up the nerve to tell a staff member that I didn't kn...

I beleive that it was not cubes, and if so, certainly not as small as the field of view we'll get. Most of the images are from the impact surface, at least on the tutorial (granted, those are examples and were used with a particle-shooting thing, but what's used in the tutorial they want to make sim...

LOL! Good old Q... I've been thinking, and I am shying away from naming it after a great person because there are already thousands of things named after great people. If anything, I'd name it after some sort of physicist or some character (Bob Wiley? Lenny Briscoe? District Attourney Jack McCoy?), ...

This makes me wonder, how did they keep the comet dust from the comet from entering the Stardust collection plate MEANT for collecting stardust? Perhaps I'm thinking too commonly--that space will be displaced and then the dust will bend back in to go fill it, which I know is utter nonsense. But isn'...

Another thing that comes to mind in respect to the landing, why was the helicopter idea used instead of someother landing technique? The first thing that comes to mind for me is the airbag system used on the MERs and Pathfinder. Combined with parachutes that remained deployed until touch down, ther...

Alright, this is something I kinda feel should be brought up. If for nothing other then to explain why there are only 186 forum members. First and foremost, a lot of those signed up emails are probably duplicates, ie. someone making sure they get an email indicating the beginning of testing. This i...
