Orbital debris, or “space junk,” is any man-made object in orbit around the Earth that no longer serves a useful purpose. Space junk can be bad news for an orbiting satellite. On February 11, 2009, a U.S. communications satellite owned by a private company called Iridium collided with a non-functioning Russian satellite.

I’ve just added a video and a link to “My Interests Outside of Work”
08/01/2009 — fiberwoman15I came across a video about human origins on TED and I thought it was simply amazing! The speaker talked about how humans evolved from aquatic apes.

The link that I posted is to SiD Nepal’s WordPress blog, Sidnepal’s Blog. The link is listed right below the link to their brochure. I have also put the link in my Blogroll in the right sidebar. It explains more about the work that they do and has contact information.
