Centauri's Thoughts

Another new year, and hopes for the future. Scheduled events for this year: Mars landings, Cassini Orbit around Saturn, and Shuttle return to flight. We might also see someone grabbing the X-Prize, and given what tests we have heard about, my money is on Scaled Composites (Burt Rutan).

This year should see more happening around here. The Robotics should be in full swing, with added sensors, and more electronics design. House mapping and other Robotic goals should be happening. Use of servos and making of a robotic arm should come together this year (hopefully in 1st quarter).
x-10 and home automation is also new on-going goals.

In the case of world events, I hope we see continuing foundations laid in Iraq, and hopefully, some progress on the peace plan for Palestine and Israel.

For the world of science, no doubt some interesting things will happen, none of which I'd try to guess at, it could be in any field, from nanotech to biology.
