50 Years Ago: Making and Forecasting Ocean Waves
AUGUST 1959 WAVES-- "Man would like to learn the ways of the waves merely by watching them, but he cannot, because they set him dreaming. Try to count a hundred waves sometime and see. The questions asked by the wave watchers are nonetheless being answered by intensive studies of the sea and by the examination of waves in large experimental tanks. The new knowledge has made it possible to measure the power and to forecast the actions of waves for the welfare of those who live and work on the sea and along its shores. In the large tank at the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey, artificial irregular waves approach the variability of those in the deep ocean. In our photograph, the ship model proceeds under its own power; its motions are recorded by means of the apparatus above it." [More]

Former Astronaut Likely to Be New NASA Chief
According to MSNBC, former astronaut Charles F. Bolden Jr. will most likely be tapped as the next head of NASA. He is scheduled to meet with President Obama in the Oval Office on Monday morning. Bolden, a retired Brigadier General in the United States Marine Corps, served as an astronaut with NASA from August 1981 until June 27, 1994 when he returned to active duty with the Marines. During that time, he flew aboard the Space Shuttle missions STS-61C, STS-31, STS-45 and STS-60. In 2002, President Bush selected him to serve as Deputy Administrator of the space agency. He retired from the Marine Corps in 2003. If the president selects Bolden, he would be the first African-American appointed to head the space agency.
