Science on the Daily Show

I get The Daily Show on a one day delay since I catch it on hulu.com. I am really glad I got the link to that Hawaiian TV station on Saturday from Phil Plait's Twitter feed. This CNN nonsense would have made me INSANE! The Hawaiians were perfect though. They know about waves and the ocean and don't sound like complete imbeciles.

After this bit about the tsunami Neil dGrasse Tyson came on to plug his Nova episode about Pluto which I mentioned before. It's coming on in about an hour and a half. I might see if I can get the rabbit ears to pick up a public TV station.

It's interesting what he says about the importance of finding water on the moon. I'm still a little chapped about the cancellation of the Ares program to go to the moon. I mean 238,857 miles is nothing. I've driven my Honda farther than that. Now I know it's a lot harder to go straight up that just moseying around on highways, but I'm just saying. There are a lot of individuals like me driving Hondas that far. Seems like if we pooled our resources it would be reasonable to get just one vehicle that can go that far on another axis.
