Haven’t watched it yet. I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the Gingrich Moon Base.

I tried to watch it yesterday but my internet was way crappy and it spent more time buffering video than it did playing said video I will watch it when I get back from town.

"If things worked the way I wanted them to, any reporter about to do another 'sensational' story on deadly meteors would consult this volume, and bang! common sense would find its way into the news. How strange would that world be?"
-- Adam Savage, Mythbusters

"Reading this book is like getting punched in the face by Carl Sagan. Frightening, but oddly exhilarating."
