New Features

While WishboneT was still a contributor, he posted on the New Features of the blog.  One thing about this blog, I am always looking for ways to improve upon it.  Yesterday, I browsed through JP Aerospace link that I have in the interesting reading section.  From that blog, I was able to find new links which led to the creation of a new section called Space Related blogs.

I want this blog to be a resource for anyone who may want to research something.  That's because, as I've mentioned above, I do this myself.  I like to pick the brains of people who post stuff on the internet.  It is a great way to develop your mind.  By doing this myself via this blog, I pass it along to others.  This reminds me of something which I posted about earlier.  It is a concept called "Open Source".   Open Source isn't just about Linux operating system for computers.  It is a philosophy about knowledge.

Knowledge shouldn't be hoarded.  It should be shared.  The idea is expressed this way.  "If you give someone an apple in exchange for an orange, you still have someone who has an apple and someone else who has an orange.  But if the two exchange ideas, both of them each have two ideas."  The concept is the multiplication of knowledge by sharing it.  That is what the internet can do.

I hope this blog can become a source of information for people who want to improve their knowledge about a topic or series of topics.  If I find a way to impart that information here, I will add it to the blog.

Just added an mp3 download link of the Space Show program featuring John Powell of JP Aerospace.  It is about his book being published and available for sale (this was a 2008 show).  On the basis of this show, I decided to order a copy of this book which should arrive within a week.  After reading it, I'll do a post or two on it.  Until then.
