...Nigerians live on less than $1 a day. But three years ago, Nigeria became only the second country in sub-Saharan Africa (after South Africa) to launch its own satellite. NigeriaSat-1 took off from Russia but is controlled by Nigerian scientists and engineers from a ground station in Abuja. The satellite, which was built in Britain, is part of a network called the Disaster Monitoring Constellation.

It also watches for impending disasters such as fires and floods and shares the information...
...walk from Hurlbut to the KSG tells only a small part of the story. Back then the Inn at Harvard was a Gulf gas station; the Holyoke Center was Dudley House for commuters; Hillel was squash courts.

During long commutes, there would be moments when the hip-hop and pop stations would be in commercial and the rock station busy fulfilling its hourly quota of Nickelback. In these times, National Public Radio gave me the latest news about all sorts of important things, like endangered species and Iran. It kept me occupied and even, secretly, made me feel mature and wealthy...
...Venturelli said that Porter station’s depth is not necessarily a liability because if there were a radiological attack at ground level, the station could act as a natural fallout shelter...
