I think by now, it has become apparent that 60 Minutes is one of my favorite shows on television. I try to watch every week, since there is usually at least one story that fascinates me. This week, it’s about NASA.
If you didn’t know by now, NASA is working on sending a man to the moon again by 2020 and to Mars by 2030, and they’re working at full speed. Personally, I’m excited that the US is finally working again on ‘deep space’ exploration. First of all, this will motivate children to study science and engineering, which might fix the engineer drought that American companies are facing. Secondly, this may reignite hope into the heart of humanity, so that we start thinking about the future again just like how we did in the 60s. Finally, it will once again show that if humanity sets its mind on a goal, it can and will be achieved.
The video is 11 minutes, so if you have time, give it a watch. Oh, and I’d like to hear your thoughts about sending a man to Mars.
Most of you know I’m not much of a sports watcher, but I love watching the Super Bowl, specifically for the commercials. This year, the game (especially the ending) was really good too.
Anyway, after watching all the super bowl commercials, I think this is my favorite commercial of the bunch. It’s Audi’s “The Godfather” commercial. Not only is it’s hilarious, but the Audi R8 is sooo hooot. Can I borrow $110,000 from anyone?
Jabbar has gotten me addicted to Heroes, the new drama on NBC. If you haven’t seen Heroes yet, think of Lost, but with a definite goal for the end of the show.
The show is about normal people like you and me, who discover crazy traits, which was acquired through the process of evolution and natural selection. Once these people have discovered their traits, they set out to find each other, realizing that their common goal is to save the world from a bomb. The twist? The bomb will be set off by one of the exploding heroes.
The show has a great story, great characters, and excellent suspense. If you haven’t seen Heroes, pick up the season 1 DVD when it’s available in the summer, and watch it!
