RT @brentweeks: Got an email from a "fan" outraged that a novel I've been working on for two years, six days a week is $13 in ebook. Enjoy your $4 coffee.

If we didn't spend that $2.5 billion (over eight years, BTW) on the MSL, most likely it would've been spent building part of a stealth bomber or put in the pocket of a one-percenter, so I don't think it's reasonable to blame NASA for our fiscal problems or the fact that pressing social concerns remain unaddressed.

The way I look at it is that, as complicated and time-intensive as it is, landing a truck with pinpoint precision millions of miles away on another planet is the *easy* stuff. If we can't all come together and agree to do the easy stuff, then there's no way in hell we'll manage to come together and do the hard stuff here on Earth.

That's because NASA hoarded all the smart guys and there were not enough left for the Congress etc.

If we can't get our shit together here on this planet, we can't really be trusted with being on other ones.
- Spidra Webster
Not all Congresses are equal, though. It was a different, more forward thinking Congress that funded Curiosity. If we don't take care with voting this election, the next Congress is likely to oversee the complete dismantlement of NASA.

I think you have to look outward in order to make sure you're still going somewhere. It's hard not to fall down hard if you're just looking inward all the time.
- Victor Ganata
We can look outward just fine without a manned program.
- Spidra Webster
Can we? And there's no guarantee we'll even have an unmanned program next year, the way things are going…
- Victor Ganata
I'm not at all arguing for defunding NASA. I agree that we've been pissing $ down the drain on wars to protect US corporate interests for years and that money would be better spent on education and scientific research & exploration. I'd like to see NASA continue and strengthen. But I don't get the boner over manned space missions that loads of other people do. I think we have plenty of...

Some day all the non-recyclable resources on Earth have depleted, so I hope they start colonization of other planets before that.
- Jemm
So we can trash those, too?
- Spidra Webster
That's what people do. Population control would help on that issue.
- Jemm
I'm pretty sure there are people who work for NASA who think ecological destruction is not a great idea. Like I also said, humanity can both be terrible and wondrous.
- Victor Ganata
I agree, Jemm. But giving people the impression that "it doesn't matter, we'll just jet off to some other planet" is not the kind of thinking that's going to encourage that.
- Spidra Webster
I'm sure there are, Victor, but once those advances are made, we know they don't just stay in the hands of ethical scientists.
- Spidra Webster
Turning inward never helped any civilization on this planet. It's a recipe for collapse and eventual subjugation. It is possible to explore space responsibly. I don't think everyone who works for NASA is some rapacious imperialist colonizer, and I think it does them a disservice to assume they all are.
- Victor Ganata
Can we solve problems by giving up because humanity can be horrible? I really think that's a terrible idea. Every decision is a chance one way or the other. Sure, we'll do wrong. But we can also do right.
- Victor Ganata
I don't see it as giving up. I see it as focusing on the problem at hand instead of going on a dunebuggy vacation.
- Spidra Webster
Well, maybe I've been reading too much dystopian environmental catastrophe science fiction, but I have the sneaking suspicion that it will some day become necessary for the survival of humanity to figure out how to run habitats that use minimal resources and protect us from hostile atmospheres and sterilizing radiation. It's hardly a vacation. We can't see how everything turns out in...

Odd that it's viewed as "harder" to just take care of your own house. We were born here. This is our home planet. The battle is between our ears. If our species can't get this right, we don't really deserve to be anywhere else, in my opinion. This doesn't mean there can't be space exploration. And if we get our shit together here and stop fucking up every environment we are in, then go on to manned stuff. It doesn't preclude manned stuff. Just get our shit together first.
- Spidra Webster
I don't think it's entirely for lack of trying (although, yeah, there's a lot denialism in the way.) But it's clearly not easy. Curiosity is on Mars. We haven't figured out how to stop global warming (even if people actually wanted to.) Ergo, one is easier than the other.
- Victor Ganata
They knew decades ago how to stop/prevent global warming: live sustainably. People didn't want to do that. Pubtrans was decommissioned, more and more cars were sold, people moved farther from their places of work, etc. We knew how to fix it - people didn't want to do it.
- Spidra Webster
The problem is I think "live sustainably" is impossibly vague. The problem is, how do you get everyone to agree with *any* plan? As long as we're pumping CO2 into the atmosphere and deforesting land, we're not solving it. We'd get here eventually even if we stuck to smokestacks and horse-drawn carriages, though it might have taken longer. So, no, once the Industrial Revolution started, I don't think anyone really had any idea how to maintain a high standard of living but not wreck the environment.
- Victor Ganata
But even before the Industrial Revolution, the sad fact is that the history of Western Civilization has always been about acquiring even more land and exploiting it to the fullest extent, even if that eventually led to collapse. Sure, there are other cultures that have more regard for land and resource management and for ideas of maintaining balance, but I'm not sure how applicable...

Even if we quickly get ready to launch ships and find settle-able planets/moons, how do you see that playing out in a way that actually benefits the regular ol' folks? Space travel may come down a little in price but if there are limited ships out, you can bet the hoi polloi won't be on them. They'll be left back here dealing with the mess, perhaps increased by the carbon spewed out by loads of rocket launches...
- Spidra Webster
I think it's also a matter of our species of surviving at all. A huge meteor or some other major disaster could be a bigger threat sooner than climate change and pollution. It's better not to keep all the eggs in the same basket if the survival of our entire species is at stake.
- Jemm
Clearly I'm a minority opinion on FF (and probably elsewhere) about manned space exploration and its relative importance. However, I absolutely agree we should have good funding of scientific research, exploration and development in the US budget. I miss the days when US public school students were holding their own in science tests. So in that respect, I can get on board with the NASA...

- Spidra Webster
It won't. Space colonization can probably sustain humanity on a species level, but it probably won't trickle down (although the frontier *always* needs warm bodies looking for opportunities, whatever that frontier may be.) But I don't think it's impossible that the things we learn how to do out there might translate to things we can do down here to save ourselves. There's always...

I don't think we're DNR, either. If we get our shit together. Each passing year makes it harder, though. We've been talking about this stuff at least since I was a schoolchild.
- Spidra Webster
I do not think that we should give up on manned exploration of space, because our future depends on it, there's no telling what useful technologies will come out of it, it's a much better use of missiles than war and some things a robot simply cannot do. As to exploiting non-inhabited planets/other astronomic objects, why should anyone care if we take advantage of the resources there?
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
And I agree with Victor that possible misuses of a technology do not outweigh significant possible gains. As long as we keep pushing technology forward, we have a chance to solve the hard problems of the day without depending on even more difficult politics.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
One caveat, though: I do think NASA is intending to be cautious about possibly irreversibly altering the environment of Mars. While there's no evidence of life so far, I don't think it's entirely ruled out yet, and if experiments do find even rudimentary bacteria, I think that will escalate the ethical quandry of exploiting Mars.
- Victor Ganata
And the energy requirements make it extremely unlikely that it will be cost-effective to strip mine a planet with a significant gravity well, anyway, until we've built significant infrastructure and/or developed far more efficient propulsion systems. Mining asteroids seems a more likely thing, and we're still probably looking at the 22nd century at the earliest.
- Victor Ganata
But it does speak to the necessity of staying in the forefront of exploration. Would we rather have NASA do this, or a private corporation that just wants to make money, or another nation that has less regard for potential environmental concerns and is more intent on economic exploitation? If we don't lead, we'll end up following.
- Victor Ganata
Yep, not to mention the fact that a lot of the knowledge that was gained during the Apollo project has been lost due to lack of usage. When put in that perspective, it was a bigger waste of money to not continue to project than it would have cost to keep developing our interplanetary exploration capabilities.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Many of the problems that were solved during Apollo now have to be figured out again since much of the know-how collected has spoiled since then. It's pretty vexing if you ask me. We really squandered the work that was done to get us to the moon.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Well yes, and no. This is somewhat similar to the fact that a lot of non-Western cultures had more sustainable agricultural and animal husbandry practices than we do now, and a lot of that knowledge was lost. While some of the stuff can help, some of that stuff won't be applicable in different circumstances. Non-Western agriculture may not be that helpful with trying to farm completely...

People are in the main absolute idiots. Usually, the mainstream media uses this fact to its advantage; it likes this. Sometimes, like today, it does something responsible. Applaud it even if there's an underlying sadness to its necessity.

The fact that it's necessary is still disturbing. People shouldn't be attacking and killing other people just based on how they look. This is should be something people learned in elementary school, even kindergarten or preschool.

That's the kind of dangerous thinking that will get people questioning everything rather than jumping to conclusions. I don't think anyone wants to live in a rational, sceptical world like that, do they?

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers, my dear FFers. See http://friendfeed.com/biteme.... Following the accident, Jack was transferred to a Sacramento trauma hospital for surgery. He later experienced post-op complications that necessitated another emergency surgery.

Riding with ankle weights http://t.co/9BQr1qWB

i'm more impressed by the biking naked
- SteVe C
Poor horse.
- Eivind
What's the difference between this and resistance settings?
- Mo Kargas
Surely ankle weights would have little or no effect on the effort expended on a bike? You know, because the one pedal is directly connected to the other, so the weight on one leg is counterbalanced by the weight on the other leg. If anything, I'd say the weights would give you a slight assist.
- Slippy like shiny things.
It works as an opposite. While yes the extra weight would help on the down stroke, I still have to lift my other leg with the weight on it. I eaither have all that weight on the up pedal whicj means I have to push it up on the down stroke or lift my leg with the weight on it. Add to that I now have 2Kg strapped to each ankle, that forces me to adjust my balance, working my core.
- Johnny
from iPhone
Might get some and see what a difference it makes
- Mo Kargas
I can get that, and I'm not going to argue with your thighs, obviously, but the weight on your left foot on its downstroke is assisting the right foot in its upstroke. I think. My physics-fu is rusty from years without training. Of course, if you lift off the pedal on the upstroke, you're making both legs work at the same time, increasing the workload throughout.
- Slippy like shiny things.
buuuut also increasing the chance you'll fall off the exercycle.
- Slippy like shiny things.
I think Slippy is right. All the work is on the downstroke, and that is alternated between the legs. While one works, the other rests. That's how you ride a bike.

Oakland, Berkeley eye driver-friendly parking laws - http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin...
Kelli H., Stephen Mack #TeamMomo, Rob Michael (Atmos Trio) and Kelly liked this
"There's only one thing more irritating than having to interrupt your Brazilian jazz class to feed the meter. That's racing outside, keys in hand, only to find a parking officer writing a ticket. In two East Bay cities, that most frustrating of urban experiences may soon be obsolete. Berkeley and Oakland are both considering a true rarity: driver-friendly ordinances that would forbid parking officers from writing tickets if the driver is present. "We're trying to have a kinder, gentler parking policy," said Berkeley City Councilman Kriss Worthington, who proposed the Berkeley ordinance. "If you show up to move your car, that should be good enough. I don't think we should be punishing you for that." Berkeley's proposal originated with Frances Kalfus, a classical guitarist who takes Brazilian ensemble classes at the Jazz School in downtown Berkeley. Week after week, his teacher had to rush out of class to move his car. Three times in two months, he returned to class with a $45 ticket,...

"The policy will have little impact on revenue. The city collects about $1.5 million annually from parking tickets, a minimal factor in the city's overall $350 million budget."
- Anne Bouey
Well, I'm glad they think 1.5M is minimal. It's not like South Berkeley needs any additional police presence due to perennial North Oakland/South Berkeley drugs wars...no sirree.
- Spidra Webster
I wonder how much this would impact them financially, though. Maybe this will have a minimal impact. If they are only not writing tickets if the driver is standing right there at the right time (which to me seems like the driver is making a good faith effort to return in time and I think the policy trends towards kindness and understanding); I'm willing to bet that most drivers they...

I also wish that cities could find ways to get revenue that don't rely on people don't the 'wrong' thing in order for them to work.

Joey, right -- cities have large incentives to entrap citizens into paying fines, and there's really little in terms of checks and balances. Corruption invariably ensues.
