    if you're in Chicago, i arraigning a small reception at the Alter Planetarium. It isn't set in stone but i'm working on it. interestingly thus far the biggest question I've gotten is in regards to what if it fails.

    i think i have to go with the CJ Cregg answer on this. in which she states: "We have at our disposal a captive audience of schoolchildren. Some of them don’t go to the blackboard or raise their hand cause they think they’re going to be wrong. I think we should say to these kids, “You think you get it wrong sometimes, you should come down here and see how the big boys do it.” I think we should tell kids we haven’t given up hope, and that it may turn up, but in the meantime, NASA is putting its best people in the room, and we want them to start building version 2. Some of them will laugh and most of them won’t care, but for some they might honestly see that it’s about going to the blackboard and raising your hand."

    • I sincerely wish I was your side of the pond. Hope it goes on, and well, plash.detritus
