Just a reminder that government can always do the job cheaper and more efficiently than private enterprise — and altruistically, too. Government’s job is not to turn a profit.

Mae Jemison fulfilled a childhood dream to travel to space. Now she wants to take humanity to the stars. Today, Mae Jemison may be best known as the first black female astronaut to travel to space, but someday she could be known for something much more monumental. That’s because she is now at the helm of what could well be the most audacious project ever imagined: a Pentagon-funded effort meant to lead within 100 years to a spaceship that will take humans to the stars. The 100-Year Starship, funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa), isn’t about building the Starship Enterprise, at least not yet. Rather, it’s about creating a nonprofit organization that can sustain efforts over the next century to enable interstellar travel. The Dorothy Jemison Foundation, headed by Mae Jemison, was selected earlier this year to lead the 100-Year Starship. This week the foundation announced its plans for shooting for the stars. First on the agenda is a gathering of scientists and the public in Houston, Texas, to discuss ways to advance interstellar travel. (via BBC - Future - Science & Environment - 100-Year Starship: Mae Jemison reaches for the stars)

“Baboons from Knowsley Safari Park in Merseyside give Hyundai’s i30 hatchback a wear-and-tear test. The monkeys simulated the punishment that the children of a typical family subject a car to: jumping up and down on seats, pushing and prodding buttons and opening and closing storage bins.”

[via Telegraph.co.uk]

Less talk, more monkey stress testers!

It was the best of times it was the blerst of times.
