Dr. Brownlee said the $212 million cost of the 10-year Stardust project was a bargain considering the amount of knowledge it should provide about the origins of the solar system and Earth. “The way I like to look at it,” he said with a laugh, “it’s the same cost as a well-paid baseball player over […]

Any Opinions on My New Card?

In preparation for spending most of March attending a number of Tech Conferences in the USA, I’m taking stock of my business card needs.
