This probably merits two threads but both stories broke about the same time. If this causes confusion, Evo or I can split it up later.
Michael Griffin turned up the heat this morning on global warming in an interview on National Public Radio.

Why does this article make me think they may miss another one? :rolleyes:

Of course, in fairness to NASA, it may be a Reuters typo. Let's hope so! :smile:
Hello,
I've come looking for advice, direction etc on submitting a proposal to NASA. I emailed their general questionnaire address and was directed to submit a proposal. Proposals / Solicitations require intensive research and master of astro physics, of which I have none. They are...

Hello, i saw a reward posted for the solution of the problem of space trash by Nasa.
There are thousands of small objects in space that are discarded rocket parts, pieces of satelittes and general junk up there.
It is orbiting the Earth at high speeds and Nasa can't solve this problem (yet)...
NASA said in a press statement that it will announce new results from the Mars Global Surveyor, and they are calling it a significant find. And no, I don't think it mentions Cydonia :)
The briefing is today at 1 p.m. EST. I have an idea what it could be, can't wait to see it...

Hi,
I have a really big problem, guys. So any help in the form of advice will be really appreciated.

It mostly concerns Janus, as I remember he submitted a picture of NASA spsace mission patches somewhere to the contest, but anyone who knows would be divine as well. [comments welcome as well]
How do you get the patches? (Here some other well known questions.)

:smile: I've always been impatient when I hear NASA has launched a new probe for some mission. I hate having to wait years to see the mission unfold. But that is the reality of space.
I've always wished that NASA had a giant Rail Gun, about a 100 miles long studded with reactors to...

Sir,
I am a B.Sc.Physics 3rd year student. I am a bright student and it is my long cherished dream to work in NASA. Could you please tell me about the jobs prospects for physicists there? Are all the jobs in NASA for engineers? If not, a specialization in which branch of physics will...
Is NASA doing anything to advance the science of cosmology? my personal
veiw is that this agency is a total waste of money, money that could be spent, doing robust scientific cosmological related experiments, what do you think?
I know this particular cons-theory has been done to death already, but does anyone on this forum have the means to examine the rate of fall of dust from the lunar rovers wheels as seen on NASA film footage?
If the whole thing was filmed on Earth the one thing no one can fake is gravitational...
This just in:
They just re-acquired signal with the MRO after it went around the far side of Mars.
They are waiting to ensure it is in the correct orbit right now.

Hey there everyone,
Out of curiosity have many of you noted the NASA innovation project has a suitor for its courting of a better way to explore space.
The basic concept is that a relatively stationary object can propel the moving spacecraft further faster, and more explicity the proposal...

On the Science Channel's review of Science 2004, one science journalist commented that Burt Rutan et al have shamed NASA with the design used to win the X prize. I think he makes a really good point. Rutan did for $30 million what NASA has never managed with Billions. Even though the Mars...

Hello,
I just completed viewing a documentary on The Learning Channel on time travel, and what they said greatly suprised me: satellites that NASA uses are set up so that the clock on the satellite is rewinded or set to adjust to the fraction of a second the satellite gains by traveling...
