Update #5: Research, Bitches!!!

Okay, so, I've let things slack. I'm busy, Beau is busy, and things aren't getting done. But...BUT...I have been doing a smidge of research...in the form of sending an email to Neil deGrasse Tyson, an astrophysicist and director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York. I had a space question and sent him an email in July. I didn't get a direct response from him (he's probably too busy being a "friend of the show" to the Colbert Report), but last week I got a reply from Neil Comins, a professor with the Dept. of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Maine and author of the book "What If the Moon Didn't Exist?" So that was pretty cool.

And now I want to read this book. What IF the moon didn't exist? I must know.
