DEEP IMPACT

WIM's DESK
Sticking with space:
Like some Space Age equivalent of WrestleMania, NASA’s Deep Impact spacecraft is double-billed to tangle with Comet Tempel 1 on July 4. The mission is a two-part project: A “Flyby” vehicle will unleash an “Impactor” probe that will slam into the fast-moving comet.
The comet and Impactor will collide at about 23,000 mph.
Deep Impact is the first mission to make contact with a comet’s surface. The hope is to produce a crater in the large comet and reveal what is underneath the surface.

KNOW YOUR STAINLESS
What is the difference between 18/8 and 18/10 stainless steel?
The first number is the amount of chromium that is contained in the stainless, i.e., 18 is 18% chromium. The second number is the amount of nickel, i.e., 8 stands for 8% nickel. So 18/8 means that this stainless steel contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel. 18/10 is 18% chromium and 10% nickel. The higher the numbers the more corrosion resistant the material. 18/0 is a misleading designation. Both 18/8 and 18/10 contain nickel and are part of the grade family "300 series" stainless. 18/0 means that there is 18% chromium but zero nickel. When there is no nickel the stainless grade family is the "400 series". 400 series are not as corrosion resistant as the 300 series and are magnetic, where the 300 series are non-magnetic.

THE ASTUTE JAMMY LEXICON EXPLICATED
It would be as useless to perceive how things 'actually look' as it would be to watch the random dots on untuned television screens.- Marvin Minsky
Explained: To ineffectually distinguish the majestic origin of objects would metaphorically be compared to viewing the pixels of your 17” Monitor.
