Minerals could eventually be tapped to provide fuel and raw building materials on the moon, and conceivably greenhouses could be built to provide some degree of self sufficiency. The lunar regolith (i.e. soil made up of broken rocks) and surface rocks/boulders have signicant amounts of aluminum, titaniu
...as well as one that's not going to crash down anytime soon. I'm sorry, I'm not sure exactly what you were expressing. Perhaps, (A) that this lunar refueling station will not crash down anytime soon relative to an Earth-orbiting refueling station, or (B) that a lunar-launched spacecraft will not crash
Good stuff. I would add that a permanent moon base would give us an off planet refueling station where our spacecraft would not need to work so hard to escape gravity to return to space... The use of lunar materials to create rocket propellents and other fuels is a research field that I have spent a l
Top Ten Reasons to Go Back to the Moon: 10. “To [re]organize and [re]measure the best of our energies and skills.” 9. To stay technologically ahead of other nations that have active plans to go to the Moon, particularly those who do not recognize basic human rights. 8. To conduct scientific research, in order to understand how the Moon was
Not yet, but getting closer every day. For now I help fly things in outer space for other people.
http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/6081512 I just read this article from Dayn Perry of FoxSports.com, analyzing the three worst records of those teams who have gone to the World Series. Every honest sports fan knows the Cardinals had a horrible finish to an otherwise very respectable, injury-plagued season and just barely made the postseason by the hair of
Well, I haven't written much about my second life in Europe, which is now seven months old. So I think I'll write a quick excerpt now. In March, my girlfriend broke up with me and soon after my friend Eddie came to visit me here in France. It was still cold here, so we decided to head south. We found cheap plane tickets on Ryan Air to Roma, so we booked tic
Update: No response from NASA was received. Mr. Deutsch has been been fired ( well, technically he resigned ). There is no indication that it had anything to do with my letter, but perhaps it had some effect. Overwhelmingly though, it probably was due to the fact that NASA found out tha
I believe in America. America has made my fortune. And I raised my daughter in the American fashion. I gave her freedom, but I taught her never to dishonor her family. --Amerigo Bonasera from “The Godfather” (Film, 1972) Military Action in Iraq is a deeply controversial issue, but ultimately it is an issue of competing values: Freedom vs.

Well, I'm about to start a new chapter in my life. For the last 48+ hours, I have been packing up my old life into boxes, and compacting my new life into a few suitcases. I am moving to France. I will be there for one year, which is the longest I've ever spent away from St. Louis. I'm quite excited, but I also can't believe it's all happening. I'm a
nope, just a typo. G-rated adventures thus far.
For those whom it may interest, I began my travels as a flight attendant yesterday with a trip to Denver, where I spent the night in the very nice DoubleTree Hotel. Then, today flew from Denver to St. Louis, St. Louis to Milwaukee, then turned around and came back to St. Louis. It was somewhat exhausting. Being a flight attendant is definitely not an easy
Well, it's way past myy bedtime (12:24am), but I promised I'd do a blog tonight, so here I am. I want to tell all my faithful readers about my wonderful girlfriend. Her name is Mariangella, and she's from Arequipa, Peru. We recently hit the 3-month mark, which I think is quite an accomplishment, considering the circumstances of living thousands of miles apa
Well, it's 5:50am. I've become accustomed to my life of waking up at slightly before the crack of dawn and getting ready to go to work. So much, that I usually have a little extra time before I have to leave to relax, read a bit of the paper, and on this occasion, write a few words (except for yesterday, when I didn't wake up until 6:30...my God, how late!).
Well, it's 4:00 AM, and tomorrow (today actually) I start a new job. I tried going to sleep a couple hours ago, but it's not working. Oh well, I figured I'd just get up now and do stuff, since I'd have to get up in about an hour and a half anyways. I'm not sure exactly why I'm taking this job. I guess mainly because I need a job. I need a job now, not in t
I'm Torn. I want to keep up some sort of "public" chronicles of my usually boring, but sometimes interesting life, so that friends, family, and strangers can occasionally be updated about my life, should they feel so inclined as to type in my sole stationary coordinates (i.e. this universal resource locator). Of course, I keep my closest friends, family, and strangers
so i haven't blogged at all this year. i just really haven't felt like it. in fact, i think i'll be starting a new blog. using a pseudoname. goodbye.
Joe, you nincompoop, you need to understand that their is a difference between an abbreviation and an acronym . This is made clear by the question you pose. As I tried to explain to you, an abbreviation does not require that each letter in the abbreviati
All right! tied 1-1. anyone else want to weigh in?
Yes, it's a word. A word used as an abbreviation for diethyl toluamide! and abbreviations aren't allowed in Upwards, for the love of Christ! I'll let monica know though. She'll be very happy...

i was gonna write a killer article tonight, but i'm fucking tired. the story of my life. see you tomorrow.
Today is my one year anniversary of blogging on JoeUser.com, so I thought it would be appropriate to look back on what I may or may not have accomplished in my many hours of time spent on JoeUser over the past year. First, I have posted a total of 120 articles. Now I don’t claim all of these to be gems exactly—some have just been random musings of the mind.
NPR isn't the only one. most of the truth of the world is in the 30 seconds, not the 9:30.
