NASA, NASA, how low did you sink? :-)
This is truly funny. Recently, they established a live high-definition link from the space station. Anybody on Earth can now see on the internet the live footage from space. But look what happened when two unidentified objects appeared in the footage. The feed was immediately cut off by someone in N...

Re: Happy Spring/Autumn Equinox
Sandy, we just had a partial sun eclipse in Europe yesterday. It was awesome. Only about 68% of the sun area was covered where I live, but it still felt quite strange. The sunlight had a blue hue into it. The folks in the UK got about 90% coverage. It must have been even greater spectacle for them. ...

Re: 15 Quotes From Nikola Tesla on Mind, Body and Soul
When it mattered, Nikola Tesla basically gave away his patents worth of millions to Westinghouse Company. Thanks to that, we now use AC systems all over the world. He could have been a multimillionaire. Yet, when asked, he elevated the benefit for many over his own benefit. Tesla gave up control of ...
