]]> Comment on When a busted toilet could be a major catastrophe… by Ubertramp http://pecautlab.com/?p=8&cpage=1#comment-1948 Ubertramp Fri, 30 May 2008 20:50:43 +0000 http://pecautlab.com/?p=8#comment-1948 Thanks. Obviously, I'm still working out some kinks in the code, but hopefully things will get smoother as we go. As for risk, well, think of it this way. After President Bush's speech in 2001 about going back to the Moon and on to Mars, a lot of NASA's funding got reallocated to answering engineering type questions. That meant a lot of the important biology type research suddenly didn't have funds. However, NASA felt that radiation could be a potential show stopper. So funding for that area of research underwent the least amount of cuts. We still got hit pretty bad, just not as bad as, say gravitational physiology. Thanks.

Thanks for doing this. I'd never thought about air circulation in microgravity. What you describe puts the risks in far greater perspective than CNN's Miles O'Brien does. Cheers. Mike,

A terrific beginning to your blog. Thanks for doing this.

Cheers.
