Stop that asteroid!

Remember that giant asteroid that is predicted will hit the earth and wipe out all of mankind…? well, it is a reality but is about sixty years away from doing any damage as yet. Still, scientists are so concerned about this big ball of space rock that plans are in place to stop it before it gets here.
Just like Tommy Lee Jones in the movie Space Cowboys, scientists are hoping to land astronauts on asteroid 2000SG344 so that they can study it; they will then piggy back the asteroid back to earth.
While it is not expected that it will actually strike the earth, it will sail perilously close enough to warrant intense surveillance. Bit worrying eh?

Do astronauts die earlier than the rest of us?
April 17, 2008 on 4:27 pm | In Science Fiction Technology | No CommentsScientists reckon they do. Apparently astronauts get exposed to more dangerous radiation in outer space than previously thought and scientists are linking the effects with the onset of cancer.
But I wonder.
Take look at Neil Armstrong - in his eighties; John Glenn - also in his late eighties and Buzz Aldrin who is aged 77. They are still alive and kicking. No sign of cancer there guys!
Not only this but they are all still active, involved and making big bucks on the lecture circuit. If anything I’d say going into outer space enhances longevity.

Dr Who reigns
April 8, 2008 on 5:33 pm | In Science Fiction Technology | No CommentsDr Who definitely reigns in this household. What man alive does not follow the escapades of the time travelling doctor and his ever changing female assistants?
Certainly not the men in my house!
It is strange; whenever something needs to be done around the place it gets done so long as Dr Who is not being broadcast on the television. Once this show starts, girls, forget about gaining your mans attention for the next hour or so. No matter what you do, no matter how you look or dress - if the Doctor is on the television you can forget about everything until the show is finished.
Forget about dressing up as a naughty schoolgirl or naughty nurse…don the robes of Dr Who and you just might get a response!
