NASA CIO Linda Cureton wrote: 'This month marks the end of an era in NASA computing. Marshall Space Flight Center powered down NASA's last mainframe, the IBM Z9 Mainframe.'"

Rep. John Fleming taken in by Onion "Abortionplex" story
Rep. John Fleming (R-Louisiana) — who is smart enough to make incredibly personal decisions about your body, but is not quite sharp enough to pick out absurdist social satire — pretty much won the Internet today…
In a Facebook status on Friday, Fleming alerted his followers to The Onion's May 18, 2011 article, "Planned Parenthood Opens $8 Billion Abortionplex" and wrote "More on Planned Parenthood, abortion by the wholesale."
Humbling graphic
The blue dot is diameter of the humanity's most far-reaching broadcast; a tiny bubble expanding at lightspeed. Anyone/thing outside that dot can't yet know we exist... even if they're listening to exactly the right place and frequency; or even if they care at all.
And that's just one galaxy among countless billions.
A man said to the universe:
"Sir I exist!"
"However," replied the universe,
"The fact has not created in me
A sense of obligation."
