Indian Superhighway

I was completely in the dark about the India's new superhighway, Golden Quadrilateral.
I learned about it from a NYtimes article published during President Bush's visit to India, a month ago. This highway construction is still underway, when finished would connect New Delhi - Calcutta - Chennai - Mumbai - New Delhi.

Even though, there are obstacles to this massive project as anyone can expect, I am glad that Indian government is overcoming them; I think that new super highway will be built slowly, but surely.

Private Satellites Do Exist

Hello Fellas,

Recently, Mr.Yogi and I discussed the possibility of having private satellites - apparently, unbeknownst to us (I mean Mr.Yogi and I), there are about 70 privately owned satellites orbiting the earth this very moment :)

BTW this topic came up in our discussion when we were discussing the possible implications of Google Earth.

Mr.Yogi pointed out a couple more neat sites as well: mars.google.com & moon.google.com

Ciao,
Voice of Reason


P.S. Here is an article explaining how the private Satellites lost their completely private status in the U.S.
