10 Red Sox Questions to honor Truck Day

Posted on by

Truck Day 2014 is upon us.

Let the cliches roll.

Next stop, Fort Myers.

It's been a landmark week in sports. We've enjoyed the Kitten Bowl, the Puppy Bowl, the Super Bowl, Round One of the Beanpot, the start of the Olympics, bad toilets in Russia, a 2011 Stanley Cup Finals rematch and the continuing saga of Tankapalooza.

All of these monumental events merely served as opening acts for the week's ultimate athletic signature moment on Saturday: Truck Day 2014 at Fenway Park.

Truck Day means we've survive the brutal offseason, or at least that untenable gap between the end of the Patriots' season and the first hint of baseball.

The Red Sox are defending World Series Cup champions. Red Sox fans have until Opening Day to take advantage of the opportunity of a lifetime, and walk away from the team following its most spectacular season since Ban Johnson began the American League. Leaving on top is very, very enticing. But sadly, at least for sad sacks like myself, it's not a real option. Crack, carbs and cigarettes are all infinitely harder to quit than the Red Sox, even they aren't nearly as harmful at times.

Several players, including Xander Bogaerts, Jon Lester and Will Middlebrooks, are already working out in Fort Myers. Truck Day gives New Englanders a nice, clean way to mark the unofficial start of the new baseball calendar year. It's more welcomed during a winter that's been markedly more brutal than most. It also provides the Red Sox with another chance to demonstrate their ability to turn just about anything into a publicity stunt, including the transportation of athletic gear and clothing from Boston to Florida.

Last year's Truck Day carried the slogan: "Big Things Ahead." Big indeed. On this Truck Day Eve, the Red Sox have many unanswered questions heading into the 2014 season. Here are 10 for starters:

NASA bets on private companies to exploit moon's resources

Posted on by

WASHINGTON: NASA -- building on successful partnerships with private companies to resupply the International Space Station -- is now looking to private entrepreneurs to help exploit resources on the moon.

In its latest initiative, unveiled in late January, the US space agency is proposing private companies take advantage of NASA's extensive know-how, its engineers and access to its installations to help design and build lunar robots.

But unlike NASA's contracts with SpaceX and Orbital Sciences to deliver cargo to the ISS, the moon proposal -- dubbed CATALYST (Cargo Transportation and Landing by Soft Touchdown) -- would get no US government economic help.

Recent missions in the moon's orbit have revealed evidence of water and other interesting substances on the moon, explained Jason Crusan, director of NASA's advanced exploration systems.

"But to understand the extent and accessibility of these resources, we need to reach the surface and explore up close."

"Commercial lunar landing capabilities could help prospect for and utilize these resources," permitting both commercial and research activities, he said.

"As NASA pursues an ambitious plan for humans to explore an asteroid and Mars, US industry will create opportunities for NASA to advance new technologies on the moon," Greg Williams, a top NASA official, added.

In 2013, NASA reached an agreement with Bigelow Aerospace to develop commercial sector involvement with the space agency, especially focused on plans to build a lunar base.

Founded by US billionaire Robert Bigelow, the company offers inflatable space modules.

These partnerships work "very well in lower orbit," said Bigelow's Michael Gold, referring to the re-supply contracts at the International Space Station.

NASA Retired Its F-104 20 Years Ago

Twenty years ago, NASAs F-104 jet made its final flight over the space agencys Dryden Flight Research Center.

During that flight, NASA research pilot Tom McMurtry took the F-104 from the Rogers Dry Lake at Edwards Air Force Base, which Dryden shares.

At the last moment, he switched on the fuel flow to the afterburner and a vapor trail of fuel streamed out behind the screaming jet. A second or two later, the burner lit, leaving a tongue of flame as the sleek jet roared over the center in its final flyover salute and pulled up and away, NASA said in a statement about the flight.

The jet was one of three F-104G aircraft obtained by NASA from the German Luftwaffe in 1975. The final flight of NASA 826 was number 1,415, and afterwards it was retired and placed on display outside the center, where it remains today.

McMurtrys final flight was preceded by a high-altitude pass at supersonic speed with a sonic boom followed by a low-level flyby at 275 knots.

The sky cleared up just in time for F-104 826s last flight, reads the anonymous entry in NASA Drydens Flight Operations log for the date, according to the space agency. Tom put on a beautiful show with a high, supersonic flyover, and two low, high-speed passes over Bldg. 4800.

Two of NASAs F-104s were lost in crashes, including one incident that cost the life of the centers chief pilot, Joseph Walker. NASA 826 was used for a wide range of research activities, including tests of the Space Shuttles Thermal Protection System tiles.

NASA ended up retiring its F-104 because of the difficulty it had maintaining and obtaining parts for the aircraft. The space agency made the decision to retire the vehicle and replace it with a more maneuverable F-18.
