Calling all moms and dads and the POOP specialists

Well it is no joke at all, NASA has issued a call literally for poop specialists with a handsome price whooping 30,000 $.
If you can come up with a way to handle the astro-crap for six days and make something useful with it. The catch is the astronaut would not be changing their gears (pants or diapers) for at least six days. AND survive without the astro-crap aroma.

IF you are the one

Please come out and present your idea at
https://www.nasa.gov/feature/space-poop-challenge/

before Dec 20, 2016.
Good luck, and HAPPY POOPsavING

The Super moon of our Generation

The Super moon of our Generation

Not many among us saw the super moon 68 years ago. though you wont have to wait for another 68 to wait for the next one in your lifetime. It would next come back in 2034. In case you were in east, and the moon has already risen and you missed. You can look at a supermoon tomorrow as well, if you use a telescope. You would have a second go in 1934 next. Until then watch the videos.....

Python Programming

Python Programming. 

I am back everyone after staying away for the blog for a year and a bit.

As a head start to achieve my New Year Resolutions for Year 2017,
Already installed Atom and currently trying to write Latex and Python in it.
I have planned to polish my programming skills. Python has a pretty nice learning curve compared to C, C++.


Mathematica has been so much fun off late especially using it in my undergrad classes for students.
