blogging vacation

I know that there hasn't been much activity on this blog in a while; I'm working some fairly long hours and haven't made the time for the blog. So, I'm going to take a vacation from posting the space video of the day, and will return in mid-September. When I do return, there will be some big changes to this site.

Update: the aforementioned big changes are taking longer than I thought they would; the space video of the day will return at the end of September.

Today's space video of the day is the third launch by SpaceX. The launch proceeded perfectly until the separation of the first and second stages; the video abruptly cuts out. Elon Musk says "SpaceX will not skip a beat in execution going forward. We have flight four of Falcon 1 almost ready for flight and flight five right behind that. I have also given the go ahead to begin fabrication of flight six. Falcon 9 development will also continue unabated, taking into account the lessons learned with Falcon 1." (hat tip to NASA Watch)

With oil prices at an all-time high, the search is on for alternate sources of energy. Each of the possible "green" technologies has drawbacks - wind is intermittent, nuclear has problems with waste disposal, Helium-3 fusion requires regular shipments from the moon, ground based solar has to contend with clouds and night, and so on. One possible solution (which has the disadvantage of high startup costs) is space based solar power: satellites in orbit would beam power down to receivers on the ground via radio waves. They would have 24 hour sunlight, unimpeded by the atmosphere and its effects, and could collect an enormous amount of energy, dwarfing all existing power sources we have available today. Today's space video of the day looks at solar power satellites.
