Coming Soon!

Tomorrow I will post what will be a new series in The Firebird's Nest!  A weekly, hopefully. blog post about NASA!  I have loved the Space Programme since I was a little boy, and I would love to make Space a regular part of my blog.  I hope to feel a lot of these posts with news about the Constellation Programme.  For those of you that may not know, Constellation is the Programme to return Astronauts to the Moon!!  I have seen drawings, pictures, and early mock ups that remind me of the hey day of Apollo! :)  I will admit that the Lunar Lander looks a bit different, but the Orion Crew Capsule is just a larger version of the one used on Apollo, with many upgrades!  I plan to bring you picture, direct from the Constellation Website, and and as much info as I can find.  I also plan to write about the last missions of the Space Shuttle, that will be retied in the next few years.  As we look forward in human exploration of space, the International Space Station must play a predominate role!  I will write about what is going on aboard the I.S.S., and the future of manned space flight.  Some very interesting things have been going on with robotic probes, and moving exploration robots used to explore our solar system!  The Martian rovers were two prime examples of NASA technology going above, and beyond what it was designed to do.  And many new, and exciting things continue to come out of NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, there should be plenty to write about!!  Finally, NASA may have given up on it, but I refuse to let the Hubble Space Telescope go down quietly!  I will write about Hubble, bring you incredible shots taken be it's cameras, and hopefully make the argument why NASA should continue to use Hubble in conjunction with new age space telescopes!  I hope that you will like this new series!!
