1. Does anyone know where we can watch the landing live? Online or cable or ???

   1. NASA tv.. http://nasa.gov/ntv

2. I don’t know about anyone else, but I was still having stylesheet issues with this website. I decided to do something about it.

   Here’s a greasemonkey script that fixes the issue:

   function addstylelink(href)
   {
           var nlink = document.createElement(“link”);
           nlink.rel = “stylesheet”;
           nlink.href = href;
           nlink.type = “text/css”;
           document.body.insertBefore(nlink, null);
   }

   addstylelink(“/wordpress/wp-content/themes/easel/style.css”);
   addstylelink(“/wordpress/wp-content/themes/easel/style-default.css”);

   I imagine Rand might get around to fixing it sometime.. the problem is caused by the “/wordpress/” prefix being missing on the stylesheet urls.

   1. I am still having issues and they seem to be getting worst, regardless of if the browser I try on it and I have updated versions of Firefox, Chrome, Safari and IE.

3. I’m interested in what you had to say to the Mars folks. Even a three or four sentence summary would be great.

   I imagine you discussed cheap (and commercial) access to space, fuel depots, and building an infrastructure to support a multitude of goals (including a multitude of destinations). (Please forgive me if that’s wrong.) Did you talk about anything Mars-specific? Did Red Dragon come up?

4. I am going to Ceres in a week or two, anybody want me to take pics?

   1. A bucket of sand would be nice.

   2. Is there a Ceres Society?

   3. …do you need someone to carry your space suit bag, shine your Mars boots and generally help out?

      I can cook and clean, I’m a great general mechanic, I’ve got I&C background, I’m fun to travel with, and I’m great at Trivial Pursuit, Spades and Poker and I’m humble…OK, scratch the last…but the rest is true.

      Can I GO, Can I GO, Can I GO, Can I GO?! My wife says it’s OK with her…

5. Wheels on Mars! Woohoo!
