- Nasa investigates virtual space - Interesting that the BBC reports on an American space program. - As virtual presence technologies increase, we may not even have to send humans into space at all. As robotics, prosthetics, remote control, virtual senses, mind/machine interfaces, and other technologies mature, we can send robots that will act as our bodies much cheaper than sending ourselves. A robot won't need life support, food, shielding, or any of the other bulky and heavy things we need to survive a trip through space. Just send a lab-in-a-robot to the site and virtually control it in an MMO, and experience the site virtually as suggested in the article. Everyone can be an astronaut!
- Bionic eyes: Contact lenses with circuits, lights a possible platform for superhuman vision - This is absolutely AWSOME!
- Computer decodes dog communication - Wasn't I talking about this sort of thing last week? Heh.
- Cloning Said to Yield Human Embryos - I wonder what it would be like to be my own father and my own son? Thats like that dumb song, "I'm My Own Grandpa"
Well, thats it for now. I'm off to school. Gotta love the night classes.

Bionic eyes: very cool.
Of course, I am waiting for *real* bionic eyes. I wonder how old I will be when they can "fix" my right eye so that it has full vision? That would be very cool.
