Space Video of the Day - 070708
2007-07-08 08:01:00 The Dawn mission to the asteroids Ceres and Vesta has been delayed yet again. A launch in mid-June 2006 was cancelled when the program was told to stand down in November 2005 due to budget issues. The project was later resumed and rescheduled for launch aboard a Delta-II rocket. There was some damage to the vehicle during testing, but it was apparently not enough damage to delay the mission. The launch was scheduled for June 20th, then delayed to June 30th, July 7th, then the 8th, then the 9th, then the 15th, and now NASA has pushed it back to September.Space Video of the Day Archive More About: The D

ch-ch-ch-changes
2007-07-03 17:13:00 Over the last several years, I have continuously been adding things to this blog: cartoons, puzzles, games, all sorts of stuff. I like being entertained, what can I say? Anyhow, as fun as all that stuff is, it makes this blog take too long to load. So, I finally took all of that stuff off of Robot Guy. Now, I know that quite a few people come here to play PacMan or Tetris or Sudoku, and I like those things too. So, I made up a new page that has just the comics and fun stuff. There's a button linking to the new Comics and Fun Stuff page in the sidebar. More About: Changes , Chang , Chan

space video of the day 070702
2007-07-02 14:13:00 I've been thinking about ways of posting more regularly on this blog. One idea that hit me a few days ago is to have a daily feature, a space video of the day. Each day I will feature a space video that I have found on YouTube or some other video sharing site on the web. I'll basically be kickstarting this thing off for several weeks, posting the first few dozen featured videos. Over the course of a few weeks, I expect that people will start sending links to videos they have found, and maybe start discussions about the featured videos in comments.Today's space video of the day was posted last July on YouTube, a Discovery channel segment on Chinese rocket failures in the mid-1990's: More About: Video , Space , The D

dude, where's my flying car?
2007-06-24 02:17:00 Terrafugia is building this prototype for a flying car. Will it ever make it to mass market production? Well, I doubt it: private airplanes are relatively inexpensive, and everyone who has a private airplane already has a car. Those people who want to fly will generally go for an airplane, as the performance will be much better than a flying car, and very few will accept a hybrid car/airplane if it means that the performance in either mode is lower than the performance of a regular airplane or a regular car. However, there may be a niche market for people with eclectic tastes. More About: Dude , Flying , Flying Car , Where
news from SpaceX
2007-06-16 02:36:00 SpaceX has posted the results of their DemoFlight 2 review. In all, eight anomalies were found, one of which (the upper stage control anomaly, likely caused by slosh in the LOX tank) led to the uncontrollable roll of the craft and the subsequent loss of the rocket. Upper stage slosh baffles, which will be included on all future launches, should solve this problem. More About: News
Carnival of Space
2007-06-07 13:37:00 The sixth edition of the Carnival of Space is up at Music of the Spheres. When the Carnival of Space first started, I was skeptical, having seen how much work that the Red Ensign Standard or Carnival of Liberty entailed. However, it looks like Henry Cate has set up a much easier system for compiling carnivals than the one I had to use for the Red Ensign, so maybe I will have to host one of those Carnivals of Space one day.

self-reconfigurable robots
2007-06-03 19:13:00 Google has an amazing series of lectures being given to their employees, which are then videotaped and uploaded to Google Video. The breadth of topics covered is astonishing, and always interesting. Today I'd like to share with you one of those lectures, on Self-Reconfigurable Robo ts and "Digital Hormones", given by Dr. Wei-Min Shen. For a robotics geek like me, this stuff is just fascinating.
