And now something for you space Nurds...

Slashdot has had some very intersting articles recently with regards to space. And seeing as how some of you may not even know what slashdot is I'm going to help you out and link to everything. So you to may become a space nurd.

Nasa Return To Flight: You need a broadband connection to really make this work effectivley but it gets the job done. Hosted by none other the Scott Bakula (aka: Capt. Johnathan Archer). This sight is NASA's offical return to flight page. As goverment webpages go this is really a good site and should be on your short list of sites to see today.

Computers in space: This nifty site goes throug the comptuers that are found in modern space craft and how they are constructed. Things of intersting note are; The latest model Ariane and Delta V heavy lift rockets have less power in their computers then a Nintendo DS. The Mars rovers have INTEL inside. The space shuttles are still using the same flight computers from the 70's today.

So there you have it kids... now go to these sites, learn all there is to learn and impress your friends with your space nurdiness!
