Three bits of space news.
Apparently on Wednesday night there is a total lunar eclipse that will be seen people in the Rocky Mountains in North America, as well as in all of Central and South America, West Africa and Western Europe. Labels: bush administration, earth news, government, outer fucking space news
It will be in partial eclipse visible west of the Rockies and from the eastern Pacific, and across the rest of Africa and Europe and much of South and West Asia.
Times vary in your area. Check here for details.
Oh yeah, and the space shuttle is coming back home on Wednesday as well. This is probably a very good idea considering the US Navy is planning on shooting missiles in the air trying to down a spy satellite on Thursday.
Because the 5,000-pound satellite malfunctioned immediately after launch in December 2006, it has a full tank of fuel. It would likely survive re-entry and disperse potentially deadly fumes over an area the size of two football fields, officials have said.
Apparently not satisfied in wasting money in Iraq and also running out of things he can get away with blowing up, Bush is going to spend 50 million in the destruction of the satellite.
NASA Administrator, a very well educated man and yet surprisingly naive, Michael Griffin said there's nothing the military can do to make the outcome worse.
Yeah, right.
