...these reasons, even space enthusiasts were dubious in January 2004 when President Bush announced his surprisingly ambitious plan to send Americans back to the moon and onto Mars. Thrilling as it was to have astronauts back in the deep-space game, the money would have to come from somewhere, and pan drippings left over from the shuttle and ISS would not do it. But Bush at first seemed serious, promising to complete the station by 2010, mothball the shuttles after that and redirect the saved resources to the new manned initiatives, all without sacrificing such scientifically priceless-and fiscally prudent...
...Worse still would be the potential loss of JPL's Mars Sample Return mission and a possible flight to Jupiter's icy moon Europa. The sample return project would be the capstone to a Mars exploration initiative that since 1996 has placed three rovers on the surface of the planet and two other ships in orbit around it, with a third orbiter set to arrive next week.

At 10:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, the museum’s Hayden Planetarium hosts “Laser Pink Floyd: The Dark Side of the Moon.” In this planetarium, stars are heard instead of seen.

Landrieu's father Moon, who was mayor of New Orleans in the 1970s, was widely popular with black voters, who have continued to support the younger Landrieu throughout his political career...
...They warn us that guys will ask girls to go up to the roofdeck to look at the moon if they want to hook up with them. Guys actually use this line. I mean, seriously, you’ve got to be kidding,” says Pelliccia, who mentions that she has had negative experiences at some of the other frats...
