		<title>Moon Moods</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Howdy everyone!
Just taking a break here from various projects to point out some consumer culture items helping to set a Moon mood this week.
First up, is Apollo 18.  Billed as &#8220;found footage&#8221; from a secret government mission to the Moon in 1974, it opens Friday around the country:

Looks like I&#8217;ll be at the theater [...]]]></description>

		<title>Two Moon Conjunction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some interesting Lunar news out this last week, about some folks out in California who came up with a computer model that implied a second Moon at some point in the distant past.  It was given surprisingly broad coverage in the media:
·Nature
·Space.com
·ABC Science
·Discovery News
·MSNBC
·USA Today
Here&#8217;s the abstract:

		<title>Outstanding</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Howdy everyone!
Outstanding.  That&#8217;s the only way to describe this year&#8217;s Moon Day at Frontiers of Flight.
From not even knowing if there was going to be one this year only three months ago, to what actually transpired, was quite a ride.
It&#8217;s hard to get an accurate attendance count, as museum members can just wander on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Moon Day Countdown</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Howdy everyone!
One of the things I do as part of the prep work for Moon Day is to put the event on as many online local calendars as I can, over 15 so far this year.  Turns out one of the event calendars has a nifty countdown widget to help keep track of how [...]]]></description>

		<title>Moving Forward on Moon Day 2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Howdy everyone.  Just taking a break from all of the NSS of NT chapter stuff, and The Moon Society stuff, and my big project for the next few weeks: Moon Day

Planning has kicked into overdrive, and I&#8217;m off to a solid start.  The main difference this year is that we&#8217;re moving from a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Be Afraid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Be very afraid.
The first part of my Moon and Back interview at the ISDC conference is now up.  I haven&#8217;t watched it yet, as I&#8217;m a little worried that I said something phenomenally stupid.
Enjoy!

3) Not screw up my presentation
4) Achieve The Moon Society goals
5) [...]]]></description>
