Interesting happenings and information, are always worth a know. It makes us understand people and their thinking processes. Success is sure to follow in this unending quest but after testing the limits of patience. I'd love to quote Rudyard Kipling in this context:-
"Some men see things as they are and say, why.
I dream things that never were and say why not."
(a) NASA's Boomerang shaped Aircraft to fly on MARS.
The red planet is fast catching the fancy of all space nations. Probes have been sent in the past
and vital information has been gleaned. Probably, it could be inhabited by man and much of
the resource constraints on the earth could be solved by having that planet for human settlement!
The proposed aircraft will:-
(i) Check if the conditions are okay for man to land on the red planet.
(ii) The first flight to Mars will be in the 2020s and
(iii) A prototype of the preliminary design will be ready later this year.
(b) Craters.
There are 128 craters, as per a recent count, on the surface of the earth. These are nothing but
depressions caused by asteroids slamming into the planet. One was under the impression that
numbers were much, much more. The scientists, looking into these aspects, have said that
erosion, tectonics and volcanic phenomena eat up craters on earth.
So, there might have been quite a few more which have been gobbled up and now cease to exist!
(c) Supporters of Greece.
'Greek Bailout Fund' is a crowd funding campaign set up by London-based marketing manager
Thom Feeney to sort the problem out - he's used more colourful language though that's not
the crux of the matter. The campaign has, thus far, raised more than 1.7 million euros over six
days but likely to fall short of the 1.6 billion euro target despite tempting offers of postcards
from Greece and bottles of ouzo for each pledge!
Tailpiece.
There's no dearth of well meaning people with mind boggling ideas, in this world!
