Continuing with our unofficial "Space Week" theme, NASA is reporting that the Stardust mission, sent on a 2+ billion mile round trip to collect dust and other such junk from the tail of a comet, will make its final approach maneuvers later on this evening. It's scheduled to touch down in Utah in about two days. Cool! Whatever they find in there, I hope it proves that the Fundies who like to think the Earth is only 6,500 years old are nothing more than zealot morons... (
