My webmaster has augmented the image in my previous space fashion post. It does much more justice to Misuzu, to whom the camera is usually a friend (though a zoom in would have done much more so). He also sends along his idea of space fashion. (Warning, slightly work and family unsafe.)

This post is for the purpose of discussing the ceremony, and how we can propogate the meme, that we discussed on The Space Show today, per a suggestion from the host.

I’ll be on The Space Show at 7 PM Pacific with my webmaster, Bill Simon, discussing last week’s Apollo anniversary and the ceremony we came up with to celebrate it.

There wasn’t much worth taking pictures of at the conference in Vegas this past weekend, but Misuzu Onuki is always worth taking a picture of, and when she’s with her space fashions, it’s worth posting. The one on the left is a wedding dress, with wires in it to make the fringes “float” up as they would in weightlessness.

The Space Foundation has put their new white paper on line. Released at the conference this weekend (and summarized by Leonard David), it calls for cancelling Block I of the CEV (the one that’s designed to go to ISS), and using the funds to increase COTS funding, and restore aeronautics and space science that has been cut over the past couple years.

I should note that I haven’t been blogging much this week because I’m busy reviewing and rewriting requirements and verification statements for CEV Block I…

[Wednesday update]

There are a lot of reader comments over at NASA Watch.

Here’s an upbeat article in the local paper about this past weekend’s space conference in Las Vegas.

Michael Huang says that humans are scientifically useless. Taylor Dinerman says that (despite the uselessness of humans) solar physics is important (for those concerned with such things, ignore the demonic nature of the link URL). And Jeff writes about Bob Bigelow’s excellent rodeo adventure. (Other good stuff there as well, wander around the site.)

While I was driving back from Vegas, Alan Boyle was writing a more coherent article about my post on Extraterrestrial Copulatory Activities. But then, he’s a pro.

But I have to say, I thought that blog sweeps week was over.

Oh, and in case you haven’t inferred it (I suspect that most of my readers are smart enough to have done so) I’m back in LA.
