The same can't be said for my computer: I gave it plenty of work to do, downloading the complete set of Venus Express camera data, which was just last week released to ESA's Planetary Science Archive.

Ustream Chat Wednesday, August 27 at 1900 UTC: Space Policy with Lou Friedman
In my past Ustream broadcasts I've always demurred on space policy questions, since I consider myself far from an expert on such matters. So this week I'll have a special guest on to discuss space policy: my boss. Lou Friedman is cofounder and executive director of The Planetary Society; here's his bio, and here are his various opinions. There are a lot of policy matters to discuss these days: Moon to Mars; the Shuttle gap; international cooperation; the U.S. presidential candidates' positions; NASA's budget; the relationship between manned and unmanned space exploration; and more. I'll give a short newsy introduction, then invite Lou to join in. This will be his first foray into the Ustream medium, so please be patient as he shuffles from camera to chat, but don't pull the punches on your questions!
