| Quote: | President Bush ordered a sharp change of course for NASA today, directing the agency to complete the space station and retire the shuttle by 2010 and to begin development of a new spacecraft to carry astronauts back to the moon by the middle of the next decade.
The plan calls for NASA to begin launching unmanned probes to the moon within just four years to begin mapping resources and refining knowledge about the harsh lunar environment that will face astronauts making long-duration stays.
Space station research will be re-focused almost exclusively on life sciences as part of what amounts to a crash course on learning how to counteract the harmful physiological effects of weightlessness. |

Seems like we will see the US Navy on the mon pretty soon. I guess this will make Hollywood go space really soon. Big time. and TV: Friends in Space, Crossing Mars, Lawyers in Space.....

Norway does? That would be awesome. Israel needs a space program.

haha... you! 
Israel already HAS a space program!
Nah.. I kinda had in mind that eletro-music.com should create its own space program.. consisting of wonderful electronic music inspired by all things spaceflight and astronomy. A "Call of entries" and then an exhibit.. possibly gigs and stuff. Dunno.. Bush already has a mean gig on in Iraq. And he is involving new players all the time. he is achieveing things which progressive music never did. Good for him.
Anyway.. a space program.. and we can make this into a fan effort too.. by establishing a support crew called "The Space Cadets" ? Huh?

Cyxeris looks up and sees a man get out of a taxi - - Elektro80, fiftyish, wearing a straw hat and sunglasses and looking almost too much like a French tourist. Elektro80 clutches an attaché case close to him and scans the cafe furtively. Cyxeris laughs, shakes his head, and waves to him.
Cyxeris
"Grebstad!"
Elektro80 hurries over to the table.
Elektro80
(as he sits)
"You shouldn't use my name."
Cyxeris
"Grebstad, Grebstad!"
Cyxeris flails one hand while pointing at Elektro80 with the other and looking around franticly
(loud)
"We got Grebstad here! See, nobody cares. Nice hat. What are you trying to look like, a secret agent?"
Elektro80 ignores that, sets his attaché case down next to the table, and slides it towards Cyxeris

I.G.Y.
Standing tough under stars and stripes
We can tell
This dream's in sight
You've got to admit it
At this point in time that it's clear
The future looks bright
On that train all graphite and glitter
Undersea by rail
Ninety minutes from New York to Paris
Well by seventy-six we'll be A.O.K.
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free
Get your ticket to that wheel in space
While there's time
The fix is in
You'll be a witness to that game of chance in the sky
You know we've got to win
Here at home we'll play in the city
Powered by the sun
Perfect weather for a streamlined world
There'll be spandex jackets one for everyone
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free
On that train all graphite and glitter
Undersea by rail
Ninety minutes from New York to Paris
(More leisure for artists everywhere)
A just machine to make big decisions
Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision
We'll be clean when their work is done
We'll be eternally free yes and eternally young
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free |
great song.
He wrote it for his 1982 album "The Nightfly"
Beautiful Album
