[Bad Astronomy Blog] Chang’e-1 shoots the Moon | Bad Astronomy | Discover Magazine: Now, were I a fan of conspiracy theories (and if I thought our current government were sly and bright enough to be sufficiently Machiavellian to do it) I’d say that if the government actually was quietly helping Iran to become a regional atomic counterbalance to Israel they’d have all the more reason to rail against it publically until it becomes an ingrained meme that America Has Nothing To Do With Iranian Atomic Power. Basically make a matter of quiet policy a public antithesis, and when it does eventually become exposed, fallout (heh heh) is reduced due to incredulity.

[Damn Interesting Comments] Damn Interesting » The Personal Air and Land Vehicle: A Dutch entrepreneur named John Bakker is working closely with Spark design engineering to develop the Personal Air and Land Vehicle (PALV), a single-occupancy transportation unit which drives like an enclosed motorcycle on the ground, yet when necessary, it can unfurl its rotors and transform into an honest-to-goodness autogyro. This allows it to leap into the air on short notice, and cruise around at altitudes below the level of commercial air traffic.
