Custom-Built Machining Centers Create Telescope Mirrors Mar 31 2006



Each mirror segment requires 18 weeks of machine time, two weeks for heat treatment, and a week for inspection. The mirror segments are shipped to another company for months of polishing.



The JWST is scheduled for launch in June 2013, effectively replacing the Hubble Space Telescope. The JWST will study the earliest galaxies and some of the first stars formed after the Big Bang.

Yep. Attributed to FDR... called variously FDR Martini or Dirty Martini... does improve the flavor. I haven't decided yet the cause... probably just the brine.

Jim I luvya, but I think me is going to hold on to. I got something for your Martini's though... After you shake pour into goblet then add a little bit of olive juice, use the cap of olive jar as a strainer.

The ultimate alcoholic drink recipe:

  1. Alcohol (first choice: ethanol - the other alcohols will work, for a while.)
  2. Enough other crap so that you can A) get it down without throwing up B) pretend that you're drinking it because you "like the taste".

Q: Do you know the difference between a wino and a connoisseur? A: The connoisseur takes the bottle out of the paper sack before he drinks it.

Just FYI:
