                    New hobby: RadioTelescope

                    radioWhen built in 1956, the biggest radio telescope in the world. [actually took 50% of the dutch national science budget that year]

                    Since then this radio telescope helped greatly the growth of Dutch radio-astronomy.

                    Now instead of destruction, hobbists can use it (dutch).

                        Apollo flight recordings lost?

                        vf

                        The video images of the Apollo flights that made it to live public television were of degraded quality. While the engineers noticed it at the time they saw the public didn’t care initially. They then assumed picking up the better quality original raw data that was succesfully stored in Australia, before it got badly relayed to the US. With the recent Moon plans coming up and dying worksmen of the time looking up the tapes, the originals now seem to have gone missing.

                        Some of his sources recalled sending 14-inch magnetic reels to a storage area in a building called Goddard Corporate Park. Wood soon discovered that storage facility had been closed for years. “Nearly all the stuff that was there was destroyed,” he says. Then he hesitates. “I need to be careful here. Would you cross out the word destroyed?” It was also possible that the tapes were “degaussed” – erased so they could be used again, a fairly standard practice at the time. In short, no one knows what became of these priceless minutes of historic footage.

                        While the search hasn’t stopped yet, the current status isn’t good. Read the longer story at Wired’s One Giant Screwup for Mankind.

                            Soy Products & Homophobic US Conservatives

                            Soy is making kids ‘gay’

                            There’s a slow poison out there that’s severely damaging our children and threatening to tear apart our culture. The ironic part is, it’s a “health food,” one of our most popular. Now, I’m a health-food guy, a fanatic who seldom allows anything into his kitchen unless it’s organic. I state my bias here just so you’ll know I’m not anti-health food. The dangerous food I’m speaking of is soy. Soybean products are feminizing, and they’re all over the place. You can hardly escape them anymore.

                                  I noted that the previous story is gone.

                                    One Bullshit – U2

                                    On Tuesday, a lawyer for the Universal Music Publishing Group, a catalog owner and administrator, posted the text of a cease-and-desist letter in the comments section of Stereogum.com, a Web site carrying the video. It contended that Bank of America had violated Universal’s copyright of the U2 song.

                                    Would you believe? Copyright lawyers hate people that make a fool of themselves? No humor those guys.

The venue was the same place as where Wordcamp was held. I see a couple of familiar names and probably most of them do sort out the respect that the price gives them. Anyway, Laughing Squid has a nice colorful review up and soon Technorati and Flickr will be full of it. 2006 is the year of the Vlog.

                                                Feel like becoming a radio astronomer ? Because there are plenty of ready and available world class & famous radio dishes. It sounds a bit like the Hubble Space telescope discussion, only then way easier reachable on earth. Since anyone can just fly to it, cannot imagine it will stay vacant very long, would it?
