well congrats to nasa and the scientists behind the voyager 1 mission. it is official, voyager 1 can no longer detect solar wind. 10.8BILLION miles away! staggering.  in about 4 more years, it will cross the heliosphere! awesome!!!

next up from the bizarre/retarded/dangerous files...

in 2011, the ukraine is going to open up the chernobyl area to limited tourism! hard to believe that; a: they think they can do this safely and b: people would want to go there (other than the odd radiation/nuclear scientists). just strange.

I'd be up for a Chernobyl tour. I'd like to tour Point Lepreau as well by comparison. Having worked at a low power reactor facility (currently being decommissioned), I'd be interested to see. But then, you already know I'm strange...

I'm fairly sure the radiation wouldn't kill me.  It would just make me turn green and ruin my shirt whenever I got mad.

KNIGHTSTORM SMASH!!!
