I love Bill Nye. I was well beyond the age of his show's target market, but I thought the way he presented science to kids was great. His show stressed the methods of science and the importance of asking questions. 'Bill Nye the science guy' may have even been a better show than 'Mr. Wizard'. That's right, I said it.

That's enough of that. Enjoy the video (Click on the title of the article to view the entire post, and also the video).

Buzz Aldrin is looking to start a contest in which contestants can win a trip into space. It sounds like it is going to be some sort of lottery system designed to 'spread the cost among a large number of players' - interesting way of looking at the lottery.

Space Shot has developed a 'game of skill' that allows players to compete for grandprizes of a trip around the moon, a suborbital flight, college scholarships, and cash. The game scores players who can accurately predicting the weather in several locations in the US based on satelitte data.
