Just read a very cool article at SFGate.com on a new mission to Jupiters moons called JIMO (Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter). What makes this different from other missions to Jupiter or other places in our solar system is that the focus of the mission is to discover life.

Jupiters moon Europa is probably the best candidate in the solar system for harbouring extra-terrestrial life. If we don't find life there we will most likely have to wait hundreds of years until our technology evolves enough to travel to other solar systems to disover life somewhere other than earth.

The JIMO mission is still in the planning stages, but is slated to be launched in 2010. But it does bring about the possiblity that life could be discovered on another planet before I reach 40.

Nobel winner slams war on terror: I really think that more people need to speak out on this subject. There can be no justification for breaking international law or viloating basic human rights.

Good morning! Just had my coffee and a hefty dose of server hosting discussions, now I feel ready to face the day :)
