What an interesting time we live in.

I am watching on cable TV the Numb3s program where mathematics is used to solve FBI crime cases.
I know, it is TV, but still, an interesting program that shows how mathematics can be useful, well if you are a math genius. :-)

At the same time I am watching on my laptop the live TV of the STS-129 crew and the those on the ISS with a Bluetooth wireless headset so as not to bother others.
This has been from launch to docking to working on EVAs.

Then there is Google's new Wave where a YouTube of NASA TV live has been made available to those that have received invitations to the pre-Beta release of Wave.

And a Wave that has useful links for the STS-129 mission.

We now have intelligent cell phones where you can send pictures, use GPS navigation, play games, search the Internet, and even call a friend by way of voice or text.

Missions are now taking place at our nearest neighbor, the Moon or have recently ended.

Now when do we as Earth bound citizens learn to live off world and establish a human presence?
