Librarian’s Note: This is like a super-duper issue at 136 pages. I just get giddy reading through all of the neat high technology developments, like Stable Calibration of Raman Lidar Water-Vapor Measurements. (That’s a good thing, really) There’s also a poster from DuPont of technology spinoffs that I’m going to have to mount on foamboard for use in public space outreach. The fact that we develop such cutting edge technology here in the U.S. gives me comfort that our economy is in fact fundamentally sound, even if a cabal of rich and connected idiots managed to completely trash our financial system (with ample participation from abroad as well, as we’re finding out). The next important economic buzzword is going to be value-creation, as we’ve managed to borrow significantly from our future value-creation, and we’re going to have to be super value-creative to get through this. Real value creation, not paper transaction creation. Crafts, trades, industries, services. These are going to do fine, especially if we keep up the cutting edge technology R&D.

Librarian’s Note: Includes an article on the 2008 Lunar Regolith Excavation Challenge, which in my view is an incredible opportunity to do some ‘prep work’ for working on the Moon. There are a variety of techniques and designs applied to the challenge, and in this free market of ideas the better designs are going to rise to the top. The cover story is lushly illustrated look at the upcoming Hubble-servicing mission, including a cool picture of some of the custom tools. That is one sexy-looking drill. I also have a strong desire to add the Flown to the Moon Beta Cloth Patch Signed by Apollo 11 Crew found in the auction advert to the Lunar Library, though the Library’s budget is nowhere close to being anywhere close to affording something like that. I’ll just stick with books, magazines and videos…
