This special edition of The New York Times comes from a future in which we are accomplishing what we know today to be possible.

How great would that be?  They have a great list of organizations doing this work as well.

Happy Friday, all.

About a year ago, M went out of town and her friend combed enough fur off Lucy to create another cat – as you can see. M took pictures and sent them off to people. I forwarded them on to my family and apparently other people forwarded them as well, because they are still circulating the internet. So, I am proud to say that I, in fact, know the famous M and her more famous Lucy (and have even cared for Lucy in M’s absence, though I did not create the artwork you see before you). And since the pics have been so popular, I wanted to share them here with you all on my blog:

It’s not baby-related, but it seems fun (plus, it’s free!)

Join NASA’s Return to the Moon!

Sign up to send your name to the moon. Names will be collected and placed onboard the LRO spacecraft for its historic mission bringing NASA back to the moon. You will also receive a certificate showcasing your support of the mission.

The deadline is June 27, 2008 for the submission of names.

LRO’s objectives are to find safe landing sites, locate potential resources, characterize the radiation environment, and demonstrate new technology.

How cool is that? Hope you enjoy!
