I read this story and it was a good one. Physics is unknown to me and calculus scares the living shit out of me. Calculus is fairly easy negrod. I think people have a conditioned fear to it when they hear calculus. Just accept certain principles and eventually it will make sense. In many respects it's a way to perform algebra more efficiently. Geometry, well at least for me, that was an ass kicker
Physics was and still is a field that's love or hate. I love it.

So watching the science channel, I'm really glad to see them including the may black folks who are more than entertainers, ball players, or thugs. Tonight it was a sista. Dr Claudia Alexander, planetary scientist at NASA's JPL. She was explaining the dust devils observed on Mars.

(they currently live in Rotterdam, Netherlands)
When Dr. Alexander died, my niece was so sad, I didn't think she could recover. That's kinda why they moved.
My niece would give me papers written by Dr. Alexander. I wish I still had them, I would send them to you.
I love science, I love space, I love the unknown..
I wish I could just go explore the outer world in real time, or what time they have out there!
Would you go, if given the chance?

Nice. I didn't know she died. Was it recently? She looked young. Glad to see you share an appreciation for cosmology. Would I venture out there, well that all depends.

My niece thought the world of her, however she left NASA and went to Mobil, now she works for Shell, however on a hiatus now.
I've always loved science and the cosmos.
Depends on what? (is that a question, I should be asking )

It's a question you already know answer to Or...is it simply that it's a question which you're too, dumbfucc, to be able to answer?
Since this is often the case, with you, then please do consider that fact.
