Reading about the increasingly dire environmental situations on Earth, I'm reminded of an article in the L.A. Times earlier this year, which reported on what California can expect after the next big quake. The cellular networks in most of the state are described as "notoriously unreliable" post-quake. Thought to self at the time: I bet that NASA doesn't have anything in its networks that could be described that way. Corollary: Here we are, scratching our heads and wringing our hands on Earth, and meanwhile all is hunky-dory in NASA-land. To wit, a program on its recent satellite TV channel was titled "Preparing America for Deep Space."
