A kindly word to NASA. How ’bout actually sticking to your main focus, you know, that space thing and drop the global warming religion advocacy. After all, I thought all you liberals believed in the separation of church and state. Here’s another example of NASA’s green advocacy (I’ll bold the important parts): For decades, climatologists [...]

I don’t know if you read this press release from NASA’s discredited (or should I say discredited leaders) GISS: 2009 was tied for the second warmest year in the modern record, a new NASA analysis of global surface temperature shows. The analysis, conducted by the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York City, [...]

Over at Watt’s Up With That?, they ran the data from a NASA study done on an ice core from Greenland, among others. The post is here. Included of course are some stellar graphs and this conclusion: In fact for the entire Holocene — the period over which, by some odd coincidence, humanity developed agriculture [...]

From GISS, we once again get to compare the yearly data based on raw temperatures versus the homogenized data put through the statistical wringer. Here’s another one of my subpar superimposed charts. The blue line represents the yearly temps based on the raw data and the yellow line represents the enhanced temperatures. It took a [...]

This panorama shows the vista from which NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity spent five weeks in November and December 2008 while the sun was nearly directly in between Mars and Earth. Opportunity is approaching the fifth anniversary of its landing on Mars, continuing a surface mission that was initially scheduled to last three months. The [...]
Pretty neat, that you are view the overcast sky of Mars. Come to think of it, it doesn’t seem to much different from the dreary day we had in Cincinnati. Clouds of dust and ice swirl past the Surface Stereo Imager (SSI) camera on NASA’s Phoenix Mars Lander in a series of images taken on [...]
Sorry for the light posting. Work, family, and overall burnout after the election have all contributed. Hopefully, I’ll get back into the mood soon. In the meantime, here’s an interesting picture from NASA:
With the space shuttle set to be retired in 2010, it will be 2015 before its replacement arrives. (You can read about the Orion spacecraft here). In the meantime, NASA will have to depend upon the Russians to ferry supplies and astronauts to the International Space Station. Really sad. This points to incompetence, a lack [...]

Phoenix is scheduled to touch down on the northern icy plains of Mars on May 25. NASA TV will cover landing events. Confirmation of the landing could come as early as 7:53 p.m. EDT (4:53 p.m. PDT). Follow along on this blog during landing, or visit www.nasa.gov/phoenix for landing and mission updates.
This montage of planetary images was taken by spacecraft managed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Included are (from top to bottom) images of Mercury, Venus, Earth (and moon), Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The spacecraft responsible for these images are as follows: 1. The Mercury image was taken by Mariner 10, 2. The Venus [...]
