All of this reporting on Spacefest and you didn’t even mention the artists or the art exhibition.

Apophis, 2036. I hope to be finnished with my surveys of you earthlings by that time and on my way back to Vega. Actually, I hope to be on the moon and out of harm’s way.

Buzz was just on the Howard Stern Show last week. He gave a very good interview, I thought. He had some stories to tell like the time he was stopped on the street by a paparazzo who mistook him for Neil Armstrong.

I think it is a little odd though, and a tad bit sad that he was promoting a time-share condo company when he was on the show. He mentioned a few times that people should call 888 7GO WINN or something like that to get a free vacation in Orlando (I think it was).

Howard also played a clip of Buzz on Da Ali G Show. Ali asked him what it was like to be the second man to walk on the Moon after Louis Armstrong. Hillarious! Buzz gently corrected him. I’m not sure if he understood the joke of Ali G or not, but he was kind and gracious throughout the “interview”. I especially liked the part when Buzz corrected Ali’s conjecture that one day we would send a mission to walk on the Sun. Buzz said we wouldn’t want to go there because it is too hot. Ali said he knows the Sun is hot, but we would go there in the winter. Lol. Talk about bad astronomy.

>>> Apophis, which may hit us in 2036,

I’ll be rooting for the asteroid. Sorry, folks.

I think I’m more tired.

I initially read “Spaceface Retort #2″.

Bed time.

But maybe one more go at the Bioshock demo…

Apophis, which may hit us in 2036, can be moved out of harmâ€™s way by adding millimeters per hour to its velocity!

Erm… how does the size of that velocity change compare with the random velocity fluctuations that come from living in the n-body nightmare that we call our solar system?
