Added 1 new A* page:UNCLE SAM SAYS ONLY YOU CAN DEFEND THE WORLD FROM SPACE DEBRIS! At any rate, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ("DARPA") is reportedly reaching out to amateur astronomers to help them track the ever-multiplying swarms of dangerous space debris in Earth orbit. This "crowd-sourcing" government project goes by the name "SpaceView." DARPA was founded in 1958, in their words, "to prevent technological surprise like the launch of Sputnik, which signaled that the Soviets had beaten the U.S. into space." Although back then it was "ARPA," without the "D" for "Defense." It got the "D" in 1972, lost it in '93, and got it back in '96. Sheesh. ~~~~~~ Some earlier stages in the doing of today's page:
Gotta stop overthinkin' the inkin', gar. Although the actual page version kinda reminds me of a photo of Veronica Lake that I saw earlier today. Also gotta stop accidentally hitting the switch on my surge protector that instantly turns my computer and everything off. :P
