A Lagrange point is a cool spot around a planetary body where gravity doesn't really move things around quite as much. You can theoretically 'park' objects there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrangian_point

We've really only studied our own Earth/Moon points, so finding them (and getting to) the Pluto/Moon(there are 3 known moons) points would be vastly more complex.

Not only am I drinking out of a styrofoam cup, I'm going to bring it home and burn it while watering my lawn for 24 hours straight in 40 degree weather while filling up a milk carton full of hairnet hairspray outside.

Then I'm going hunting.

You know why? BECAUSE I CAN. Welcome to America, where believe it or not, we're still free.

I think you're paying attention, I think space nerds know about this stuff, but its not really mainstream. It's a shame, because all of these missions are amazing, nearly moreso than sending men out into space.

Well, I can tell you what our country was built on. Freedom.

Libertarians are smart and everyone else likes twitter, Katy Perry and Ikariam.

It's version 11. I use it to rip physical CDs. It's nearly worthless besides that. I remember a few years ago when they tried to match it up with some store but I think that failed miserably.

I use iTunes exclusively for the podcast functionality. There is a ton of VERY good free fiction in podcast form, as well as every other subject under the sun. I go so far as to uninstall the device discovery programs itunes sneaks in with the install, as well as stopping and turning off all the useless services itunes tries to run in the background.

As far as music, I've been using Songbird and Doubletwist. Both are nice, Doubletwist looks a bit like iTunes.

:) I tried voicing the same concern and people called me a Muslim (among other things).

My advice would be to let the cameras tell the story in cases like this. You don't need to explain to the camera loudly and dramatically what is happening. I know - I can see and hear it. The unedited version probably tones all that stuff way down.
