...determine how heavy the ilmenite concentrations are at that site and to look for other outcroppings as well, NASA recently decided to conduct telescope surveys of four lunar regions: Taurus-Littrow, Hadley-Apennine-landing site of Apollo 15-the unexplored Aristarchus impact crater and nearby Schroter?s Valley. Though ground-based telescopes would ordinarily be suitable for this work, in this case they wouldn?t do, since the scientists were looking for ultraviolet reflections of ilmenite, a frequency of light absorbed by Earth?s atmosphere. The only way to conduct the work was to get above that blinding blanket...
...telescope found what appears to be ilmenite deposits not only at the Apollo 17 site, where it was known to be, but also in Schroter?s Valley and in especially high concentrations in Aristarchus crater. Aristarchus would make an especially good landing site for future geologists, because the impacts that create craters blasts away surface material, providing a detailed look far below ground. Combine that with the ready lode of oxygen-rich ilmenite, and you?ve got a prime spot for a future moon base...
...Apple CEO Steve Jobs about it, and he'll tell you an instructive little story. Call it the Parable of the Concept Car. "Here's what you find at a lot of companies," he says, kicking back in a conference room at Apple's gleaming white Silicon Valley headquarters, which looks something like a cross between an Ivy League university and an iPod. "You know how you see a show car, and it's really cool, and then four years later you see the production car, and it sucks? And you go, What happened? They had it! They...
Elizabethtown,” the latest work from the creative genius behind “Almost Famous.” In this new film, the writer-director attempts to make sense of the varied and often irreverent cultural contrasts and contradictions he finds amid the Mississippi River Valley. Crowe starts his film in the contrastingly sterile and bland corporate world, in which shoe designer Drew Baylor (Orlando Bloom) has just been fired (“Jerry Maguire” much?). When a suicidal Drew is interrupted by news of his father’s unexpected death, he leaves behind...
...Only on the second day after the quake, as news of Balakot's catastrophe spread down the valley, thousands of men from surrounding areas converged on the town carrying hammers, shovels, iron rods and axes after walking for miles and miles. The volunteers also helped clear the road into Balakot, making it possible for hundreds of pickups and cars to wend their way into the devastated town bringing food, blankets and tents. All were donations from Pakistanis who had seen photos of Balakot's disaster taken from army helicopters. The relief trucks were mobbed by hungry and cold people, prompting...
