And now for something completely different . . .

The Democratic convention is over, John Kerry is the nominee and I still don't have anything to say except good, now Jeopardy and Simsons won't be preempted by convention coverage.

I probably won't have much more to say about the Republican convention either.

But UPI does have a good story and its NOT about politics. Its about putting President Bush's vision of getting us back to the Moon and on to Mars. NASA is taking the first steps in looking at the type of vehicles they will need to get people to and from the Moon and will be sending out proposals to industry in January 2005. Two contractors will compete for the right to build the new vehicles (similar to the F-22/23 and the JSF competitions in the Air Force).

Have a good weekend.
