Lectures at JPL

The von Kármán Lecture Series at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory is available at JPL. The videos of 2008 lectures are available for download now. In addition, you'll find the January 2009 lecture, "Spirit and Opportunity: The Corps of Discovery for Mars Rolls On", by Steve Squires.


Also available is the list of scheduled lectures for 2009. For lifelong learners interested in astronomy and our exploration of the universe, these full-length lectures are a treasure trove of current and historical information

Jet Propulsion Laboratory Blog

JPL Blog--this is going to be so good. Only two posts so far, but this one already looks like a winner.

July 14, 2008Here We Are … at Saturn - by Bob Pappalardo (project scientist for the Cassini Equinox Mission to Saturn.) Update on what's going on four years after the Cassini spacecraft entered orbit around Saturn.

July 17, 2008--Water Ice and Soil Samples on Mars - by Deborah Bass (deputy project scientist for the Phoenix mission to Mars, part of the science team studying findings from the lander.) Lots of behind the scenes insight.

I already have this on my home page. Thanks JPL. We are going to look forward to every one of these posts.
