Go Juno!

I'm not a space geek, but was in awe while witnessing the fiery engine boost and spiral smoke trail of NASA's Juno spacecraft launch on top of an Atlas V rocket. This is the first spacecraft to operate on solar power rather than nuclear power. It's going on a six-year journey to learn more about our solar system and Jupiter.

Some fun facts:

-Weighs 4 tons

-Blades collect solar energy with 18,698 solar cells

-$1.1 billion mission cost

-Jupiter is 5X farther from the sun than Earth

I Don't Want to See Osama Bin Laden Dead

The government is pondering over whether or not to release the photographs of Osama Bin Laden with a gunshot to the head, which would prove that he is dead.  I, for one, do not wish to view these pictures.  I'm sure there are many people who would like to see them because they are curious or need proof.  But with today's technology, any photographs can be easily altered.  So, what's the point?!  It seems like we'd be gloating or just showing them off.  I think it's just sick to want to see them.  I know he doesn't deserve any respect or courtesy, but we don't have to stoop as low as him.  Already his name is all over the Internet.  There will probably be a movie made too.  That glorifies him.  Let the rest of him die in peace.
