...astronauts as explorers, sublime pioneers who push ever farther into dark and unexplored territory. We understood when Roger Chaffee, Gus Grissom and Ed White died in a fire on Apollo I’s launchpad; they were paving the way to the moon. But today, NASA??s job has become far less glamorous, even mundane; astronauts either deploy ultra-secret military satellites or deliver supplies to the international space station...
...high school graduation. (In response to an FM request to clarify what exactly a Quantum Cellular Automata Architect does, Spotnitz answered, “A Quantum Cellular Automata Architect designs circuit patterns with Quantum Cellular Automata.”) “I was surrounded by PhDs at NASA??s JPL [the Jet Propulsion Laboratory] in Pasadena,” the chemistry concentrator explains. “And I had only taken AP physics. I had been thinking about studying brain science or being a doctor, but I wanted to try something different. So I picked NASA...
...disturbing revelation, NASA??s inspector general’s office discovered last month that the agency had been bilked, robbed and ripped off multiple times in the last year by contractors and employees. The amount of money involved has not been disclosed, but the individual examples of fraud show how serious the lapse of oversight has been. One NASA contract worker billed the Hubble Space Telescope Program for $27,000 of collect phone calls from prison inmates, according to The New York Times. In another shocking case, three students who worked at the Johnson Space Center in Houston...
After his time at Harvard, Ozernoy worked at the Los Alamos National Laboratory and NASA??s Goddard Space Flight Center. In 1993 he became a professor of physics and computational sciences at George Mason University in Virginia...
...building the International Space Station, given the most recent plans for a budget cut from the Bush Administration. Furthermore, the cuts have forced the abandonment of the Space Launch Initiative, which would have redesigned the space shuttle, the vehicle currently used for space travel. These cuts severely undermine NASA??s ability to fund the gradual exploration of space, including eventually returning to the Moon and one day landing on Mars...
