Water on the Moon Update

NASA in their effort to confirm reports of water on the moon launched a rocket on October 9, 2009 to crash into the lunar surface. Although the lunar explosion was not visible to the naked-eye it is obvious from the Today Show video below the results were still deemed successful by NASA's equipment. Water is the critical element which makes it possible to live on the moon for extended periods of time and could be the stepping stone to other planetary exploration. Also, the water’s molecules can be broken down to Hydrogen and Oxygen to make rocket fuel. It will take time for NASA to analyze the results but if it is found that the moon does indeed have the water and ice they expect to find this could mean huge savings in dollars spent on space exploration. This is great news especially considering recent budget cuts.

Happy National Underwear Day!!!

National Underwear Day? Yes, today is the 7th anniversary of the event. Who would of ever thought that we would be celebrating such a thing? When I was growing up nobody ever even talked about their underwear. The only thing you knew was that you wanted it to be clean without holes in the off chance that you were in some kind of an accident. It was one of those things that were giggled about on schoolyards and in the work place. Not today, National Underwear Day was founded in August 2003. For the past six years, Freshpair has slated the first week of August with gorgeous models strolling down the runway showing off their underwear in New York City. According to Freshpair, "Last year the annual renegade sidewalk fashion show transformed into a celebrity-studded fashion event, hosted by actress and fashion maven Lydia Hearst. This year, in response to popular demand, the event has grown into an online underwear extravaganza!" You can read about these unmentionables and their history on their website. They have contests and many offers including discounts and free stuff from their sponsors. Take a look at the videos below to see highlights of last year's event and its coverage the Today show. So get out and flaunt those unmentionables today, I won't tell anybody. Have a Happy National Underwear Day!
