“A New Day for Dawn”:http://www.planetary.org/news/2006/0327_A_New_Day_for_Dawn.html
bq. In a heartening reversal of a decision taken earlier this month, NASA has restarted work on Dawn — a mission to two of the largest minor planets in the asteroid belt, Ceres and Vesta. On March 2, citing technical problems and cost overruns, NASA’s Science Mission Directorate canceled the Dawn mission. Four days later, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), which is charged with overseeing the mission’s development, appealed the decision to the Office of the Administrator. A panel headed by NASA Associate Administrator Rex D. Geveden reviewed the appeal, considering both the criticisms included in the original report and the responses provided by JPL. On March 23 they met and decided: Dawn will move forward.
Once in awhile, the good guys win one. Way to go, JPL!
“Support your local strike committee.”:http://leninology.blogspot.com/2006/03/support-your-local-strike-committee.html Since U.S. news won’t bother to cover strike action, particularly someplace foreign, I’ll mention it here: there are large scale strikes going on in both the U.K. and France. Resistance toward going to U.S. style job insecurity and vanishing pension plans is growing. The EU is already trying to destroy efforts like the “Mondragon Cooperatives”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondrag%C3%B3n_Cooperative_Corporation in the name of Globalization, now EU states are trying to strip away worker protections to the point where local workers are as easy to exploit as those abroad.
