...collector of vibrations on airplanes and the roofs over which they fly upon takeoffs and landings. I'd like to see vibrations collected under waterfalls and on bus routes. Teenagers could collect vibrations from their music, and drummers could collect the vibrations from their instruments. Mignon G. Nicholson, San Antonio...
...return astronauts to the moon by 2020. LRO will also hunt for signs of water ice on the moon, as well as help study the irregular lunar gravity field, caused by dense concentrations of mass beneath the surface--the geological equivalent of lumps in oatmeal. Most dramatically, it will collect detailed images of all six Apollo landing sites, which have stood unseen for close to 40 years. "LRO's job is to open up the lunar frontier," says Jim Garvin, chief scientist at Goddard's Space Flight Center, where the craft is being assembled. "Right now we have a view...

The second will go even better: the ride home from the airport, once known as the Highway of Death because of the high incidence of insurgent attacks on commuters and military convoys, is remarkably stress-free. The Iraqi colleagues who have come to collect me laugh and joke as we drive; there's none of the nervous anxiety of previous trips. There are some Iraqi security forces along the road, but I see no American patrols...
