doing any
work. 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. It took four days, but it's done! If you don't share
my love of
raw data, skip the next paragraph...gwilliams2008-08-27T07:01:29ZTMSSDNewsUstream Chat Wednesday, August 27 at 1900 UTC: Space Policy with Lou Friedman http://www.marssociety.com/portal/mars-news-from-the-san-diego-chapter/TMSSD_News_40681 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!gwilliams2008-08-27T07:01:27ZTMSSDNews
