I remember Joan mentioning NASA's need for whale oil a long time ago, but I just came across this article... Whaling for NASA on the Tom and Al Oh my goodness - well found Randi! What a shame that Andrew Marshall didn't find it for the great Reuter's article 'Ice Bound'. Still - he did ask NASA, an...

I had not looked that closely at your avatar; I would recognize you on the street. You look like Mrs. Thatcher- only younger. :lol: :lol: :lol: You'll have Maggie turning in her grave.
