Renowed physicist StephenHawking will be a flyer aboard the suborbital SpaceShipTwo (SS2) 'Enterprise' in 2009 sponsored by Sir Richard Branson of Virgin Galactic.
Dr. Hawking, 65, has expressed the desire to fly suborbital during a BBC Radio 4 interview in November of last year.
Hawking uses a wheelchair and communicates with the help of a computer because he suffers from a neurological disorder called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, has done groundbreaking research on black holes and the origins of the universe, proposing that space and time have no beginning and no end.

Kilo and I have really enjoyed watching football together this year. It is hard to believe that tonight is the last game of the college year. We don't really care for either team but we do enjoy a good game and this one between Florida and Ohio State is pretty darned exciting. In Pro ball my team has been excluded from the playoffs but I have learned to say "Go Bears" without having to cross my

Sunset on the Martian surface.NASA today gave preliminary approval to study two possible missions to Mars for final down select to one by January 2008 and a launch window in 2011 and a maximum mission cost of no more than
$475 million.
The Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution mission or MAVEN would provide first-of-its-kind measurements, address key questions about Mars climate and habitability, and improve understanding of dynamic processes in the upper Martian atmosphere and ionosphere.
"We're going to solve the mystery of Mars' lost atmosphere," said Dr. Bruce Jakosky, lead scientist on the MAVEN proposal. "We'll explain where it went and how it went there."
An alternative mission called "
The Great Escape" would directly determine the basic processes in Martian atmospheric evolution by measuring the structure and dynamics of the upper atmosphere. In addition, potentially biogenic atmospheric constituents such as methane would be measured.
Meanwhile, the
Phoenix Mars polar lander mission launch campaign is underway for 3 August 2007 as the first Scout-1 mission --- a little more than 200 days to liftoff.

Some people think Quakers are the most "peaceful" of all religionists. But I nominate the Buddhists for that honor. After all, Richard Nixon (pbuh) was a Quaker, even though he escalated the war in VietNam, before he ended it.
Badrose shows us that the Islamic fanaticists can't even get along with the most peaceful religion on earth.
And still the Democrats, (the most idiotic religion on earth

Not found in the Roanoke Times – but -- recorded on CNN - Tivo
CNN’s Wolf Blitzkrieg’s Situation Room Gestapo Team descended on Rocky Mount Va. to get “the goods†on Virgil Goode for his position on Muslim immigration and his objection to use of the Koran for the congressional swearing-in oath.
-
What a sight! CNN’s swat-team members being recorded looking throughout Rocky Mount for anyone who would chastise Rep. Goode for his documented and verbal position.
-
After a fruitless search through the Town, the Swat Team landed on The Hub Restaurant. Their hostility and frustration then became focused on the restaurant’s menu. On the back of the menu were three pre-meal prayers: Protestant, Catholic and Jewish.
-
What an outrage! No Muslim prayer on the back of The Hubs Menu!
-
The Swat team then descended on the manager/owner back in the kitchen area. Why not a Muslim prayer they demanded? The manager acknowledged that he didn’t know any Muslim’s were eating there, but assured the CNN Gestapo Commander that if any Muslims proposed such a prayer, he would add it to the menu.
-
This is TRUE! You can’t make up stuff like this – and – if you don’t believe it, let me know and I’ll send you a copy of my Tivo recording!
-
The only thing missing from this media circus were members of the Roanoke Times Editorial staff who somehow didn’t get the word to join in the raid.
-
I lived for over 50 years in New York State where these Gestapo folks originated. In all that time I never saw any menu’s that had any prayers printed on them. Also, unlike my time in Tuskegee Alabama and here in Virginia, I never saw any New Yorker bow their head in prayer before a meal in a public restaurant!
-
Talk about Hypocrisy! What a bunch of jerks! And on national CNN TV too!

With Gov Kaine still pushing to raise taxes, fellow ODBA member DJ wondering what happened to the 10 billion dollars. This question needs to be answered. My readers know my feelings about raising taxes-It should be done only as a last resort. On that note check out The Cranky Taxpayer. The blogger is from Richmond and he addresses High Taxes | High Crime | Lousy Schools | Obdurate Bureaucrats.
