"Living On The Moon" a National Geographic Naked-Science series TV program

Minjae Ormes sent me some information on a National Geographic Naked-Science series TV program that she thought might be of interest. There is an 'EPISODES' pull down tab to view upcoming episodes.

The one she thought we might be interested to us is, "Living On The Moon" which is set to view on 19 July 2009, at 9 PM.

The day before the 40th Anniversary of Apollo 11, NGC presents Living on the Moon. Man has always dreamed of living on the moon, and now a team of NASA scientists is proving that dream could be achieved in our lifetime. We take viewers inside Constellation, the space program's plan to establish a human outpost on the moon by 2020. Take a closer look at the plans under way, from upgraded space suits to housing modules and moon vehicles, and examine the challenges ahead, such as finding water, making oxygen, growing food and protecting residents from deadly radiation. Then, using 3-D animation, we'll visualize how the remarkable outpost will take shape.

Even if you can't watch the TV program, you may enjoy the links above.

I will probably miss the program as we will be driving up to Washington State to seem my mom whose 99th birthday is July 20. If you see the program, feel free to let me know what you think of it and I can pass that back to Minjae Ormes.

Just think, in 1910 you might not have had indoor plumbing. Halley's Comet went by the Sun, and again in 1986 but the view wasn't so good as the closest point was behind the Sun from Earth's viewpoint. Mom had hoped to see it then. We did have Pioneer Venus going around Venus and it too was on the other side of the Sun from us. It used its UV spectrometer to view Halley's Comet in UV.

Next viewing will be in mid 2061 and I will miss it. (unless I can live to be 124, well mom is still doing well, so maybe) :-)

I have been reminded that Lunar Prospector ended its mission around the moon, 10 years ago, on July 31, 1999.

That was a lot of fun and now we have LRO going around again.
I hope we do more than just go around, and around.

Would like to see some hotels.
