Nicole — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 17:33:48 +0000

But space exploration is an investment in our future, comprar en línea Retin-A, comprar Retin-A baratos, Canada, mexico, india, short-term and long-term. I cannot say enough about how inspirational NASA's manned space flight programs have been to me, Retin-A alternatives, personally, and I know many others who would not have pursued education and careers in science, math, and engineering were it not for those programs.

But as my friend and Gemini crewmate Jim Lovell has noted, our Apollo days were a time when we did bold things in space to achieve leadership. It is time we were bold again in space. #

Perhaps by the time the 60th Apollo 11 anniversary rolls around, we'll have an even more impressive achievement on our records.

English Triumphs Again!

Nicole — Sat, 25 Mar 2006 17:44:51 +0000

The Gods of the Internet, Lords of the Grammar Nazis, have heard my plea. Or, you know, they got an editor to look at the follow-up to that scramjet article.

This makes [a scramjet engine] more efficient than a conventional rocket engine as it does not need to carry its own oxygen supply, meaning that a vehicle using one could potentially carry a larger payload.

I still protest to rockets and air-breathing engines being compared this way, but I guess that's why I'm an engineer and not a journalist. (No offense, Greg ;-) )

C’mon, People, It’s Just Rocket Science

Nicole — Thu, 23 Mar 2006 16:31:07 +0000

I am being quickly induced never to look at news coverage of a scientific event ever again. On return from my fluids class this morning, I checked my RSS feeds to find a story on an upcoming scramjet test in Australia, courtesy of the BBC. The first sentence should have warned me that, knowing anything about this subject, I shouldn't have continued reading:

A new jet engine design able to fly seven times the speed of sound is to be test fired over Australia on Friday.

Well, okay, it's not totally wrong to say that a Mach 7 engine flies seven times the speed of sound. ~~But it's the local speed of sound, dammit!~~ But, being an aerospace engineer, something inside me twitches at the thought of being so imprecise. The real pain comes later, when the reporter tries to make a helpful remark about the usefulness of a scramjet engine:

A supersonic combustion ramjet, or scramjet, is mechanically very simple. It has no moving parts and takes all of the oxygen it needs to burn hydrogen fuel from the air. This makes it more efficient than conventional rocket engines as they do not need to carry their own oxygen supply, meaning that any vehicle could potentially carry a larger payload.

First of all, what did they teach you in grade school about pronouns and antecedents? "This makes it more efficient than conventional rocket engines as they do not need to carry their own oxygen supply." I know that you're trying to say that scramjet engines don't carry their own oxygen supply. But, technically, you just told your reader that rocket engines are air-breathing, which, seeing as propulsion devices are classified as either rockets or air-breathing engines, is, well, impossible. Moreover, when did it become reasonable to compare a rocket to an air-breathing engine in terms of efficiency? They can't do the same things. Rockets can fly outside of an atmosphere. Air-breathing engines can't. Rockets tend to be heavier because they have to carry their own oxygen. But, at least in the sense of conventional chemical rockets, they are more powerful. You can lift enormous loads at higher speeds with a chemical rocket than you can even with the most ambitiously imaginative air-breathing engine. In short: you just don't compare them. They're apples and oranges. Both are fruit, but you only eat one if you're wanting Vitamin C.

…And We’re Back

The move to the new server took longer than expected, mostly because I had to rely too much on iPowerWeb to do little things like respond to important e-mails. But the site's all up on my new host and everyone I've asked has been properly redirected, so the change in name servers appears to have propagated. If that made no sense, don't worry. All of it was basically to say that, after more work and time than expected, the site is back and functioning and ready to grow. I'm sure you're all very excited. I know I am. But before I write any more here or add any new features to the domain, I'd like to take a moment to pay my respects. It's inevitable that I'm reminded of 11 September 2001. The politicians can't stop saying that day, which I feel cheapens it, but one look at the headlines from the BBC and all the feelings of that day flood back to me. I happened to get stuck on the wrong side of the U.S.-Canada border that day, and one of my clearest memories is how welcoming and supportive the Canadians were to us, a host of high school kids separated from our families by a closed border. They were exactly the sort of international neighbors you dream of having and exactly the sort I hope I can be. As for terrorism in general, like the many people posting at We're Not Afraid, I am not afraid of terrorists. Having lived in Germany prior to 9/11, I was accustomed to warnings about Osama bin Laden and terrorists. I knew many people in the world did not like Westerners in general and Americans in particular. I met some of those people. They haven't stopped me before and they won't stop me now. Tomorrow I plan to start the process for applying for a Marshall scholarship with the hope of getting to spend a couple years living and doing research in central London.

Hope for Africa

Nicole — Thu, 30 Jun 2005 14:58:28 +0000

Bush has promised to double aid to Africa over the next five years. Having spent a month living in rural Tanzania, seeing Africa's poverty and its peoples' immense beauty with my own eyes, I can only welcome this news with open arms. In similar news, Nigeria has been granted bn in debt relief, something I'm sure will go quite a ways toward helping them. Really, I'm rather shocked to see how well Live8's efforts prior to the G8 summit are going. Now I just hope that these governments hold to their pledges. This is the real way to fight a war on terrorism. This is the real way to spread freedom and peace.

Having done a few college visits, I think I can say with certainty that visiting a place for one day, especially if you're in the company of people trying to make it look good, doesn't give you an idea of what conditions at the place are truly like. Nevertheless, this technique is good enough for Congressional representatives on a "fact-finding mission" to Guantanamo Bay. I could get all political, but I won't. Because the BBC has provided something better.

They watched the interrogation of three suspects, including one in which a detainee was read a Harry Potter book aloud for hours until he turned his back and put his hands over his ears.

Who knew that terrorists had feelings similar to Christian fundamentalists?

But as my friend and Gemini crewmate Jim Lovell has noted, our Apollo days were a time when we did bold things in space to achieve leadership. It is time we were bold again in space. #

The Gods of the Internet, Lords of the Grammar Nazis, have heard my plea. Or, you know, they got an editor to look at the follow-up to that scramjet article.

This makes [a scramjet engine] more efficient than a conventional rocket engine as it does not need to carry its own oxygen supply, meaning that a vehicle using one could potentially carry a larger payload.

I still protest to rockets and air-breathing engines being compared this way, but I guess that's why I'm an engineer and not a journalist. (No offense, Greg ;-) )

A new jet engine design able to fly seven times the speed of sound is to be test fired over Australia on Friday.

A supersonic combustion ramjet, or scramjet, is mechanically very simple. It has no moving parts and takes all of the oxygen it needs to burn hydrogen fuel from the air. This makes it more efficient than conventional rocket engines as they do not need to carry their own oxygen supply, meaning that any vehicle could potentially carry a larger payload.

Bush has promised to double aid to Africa over the next five years. Having spent a month living in rural Tanzania, seeing Africa's poverty and its peoples' immense beauty with my own eyes, I can only welcome this news with open arms. In similar news, Nigeria has been granted $18bn in debt relief, something I'm sure will go quite a ways toward helping them. Really, I'm rather shocked to see how well Live8's efforts prior to the G8 summit are going. Now I just hope that these governments hold to their pledges. This is the real way to fight a war on terrorism. This is the real way to spread freedom and peace.

The EU is getting ridiculous with its complaints about various companies and their "unfair monopolies". Today they announced a deal with the Coca-Cola company that requires, among other things, that Coke-branded fridges at retailers be at least 20% stocked with products from a different company. Earlier this year, a deal with Microsoft, in which the software giant would market a version of its Windows XP operating system without Windows Media Player under the dubious title of "Windows XP Home Edition N", was announced. Perhaps I'm being overly generous to the average consumer, but both these deals seem like an insult to the average consumer--not to mention an excellent source of confusion. What's the EU planning to do for companies whose drinks are placed in Coke-branded fridges when consumers start thinking that Seven-Up is a Coke product? Or how about someone who gets a brand new computer, signs on to their favorite news site, and finds that, no matter how many times they click for the newest video feed, it refuses to come up? The XP article notes that Real Networks' RealPlayer and Apple Quicktime are the main competitors for Windows Media Player. Guess what? I have all three. My primary music/video player, however, is Winamp. What I really love, though, is the fact that Quicktime doesn't even have the same capabilities as WMP, but it's still a competitor. You'd have to use iTunes and Quicktime to get the playback options of either WMP or RealPlayer, but... obviously matters like this are not a concern for the EU.
