Because it's fun.

...and math is no fun if there's no challenge to it ;)

I don't see any fun in the stuff I'm doing now, just pain. Lots of pain. I'm really tired because my brain is loaded 120% the whole day :(

What kind of math is weighing you down?

solvers for sparse linear equation systems

hm, I guess I found a suiteable topic...

Got an offer from Kinect's team, the one that develops and tunes motion capture algorithms they use!
Where is my NDD fix?

this was a good topic, I have one off topic post

Proposed Missions Could Deflect Space Rocks Like Asteroid Apophis:

While scientists keep a close watch on the myriad space rocks near Earth, they don't yet have a solid plan on what to do if one appears headed on a collision course toward our planet.

Two new studies propose potential spacecraft missions that would collide with asteroids in an attempt to deflect them away from our planet. Such missions, some researchers say, may be among our best hopes to ward off asteroids that may pose a threat to Earth.

One concept from researchers in China involves deflecting an asteroid with a spacecraft propelled by solar sails, giant mirrors that fly through space via the force of sunlight reflecting off them. A possible target is the asteroid known as Apophis, named after the Egyptian god of darkness because of fears that it might crash into Earth.

the possibility of impacting down has increased
from 1 to 250.000
from 1 to 233.000
but it's still low possibility to impact

The asteroid Apophis is expected to fly harmlessly by Earth on April 13, 2036, with only a 1-in-233,000 chance of hitting our planet, while neither of the two asteroids studied for the Don Quijote mission, designated 2002AT4 and 1989ML, is close to crossing Earth's orbit.

I also read that another method would be to fly a shuttle close to the debris, so that it would create a small gravitational field between the two objects. This process of debris-moving would take about 2 years but also could potentially save humanity from destruction.

Spaceport america

WOW!! AMAZING :)

LAS CRUCES, N.M. — Spaceport America is billed as the world's first purpose-built commercial spaceport.

Under construction roughly 45 miles north of Las Cruces on a remote desert landscape, the 18,000-acre Spaceport America site sports a nearly two-mile long, 200–foot-wide "spaceway" that can handle the suborbital traffic flow of pay-per-view space tourists using anchor tenant Virgin Galactic and its WhiteKnightTwo/SpaceShipTwo system.

A futuristic-looking terminal hangar is nearly complete, adding to the facility's space-age ambiance. But another vibe is in the air – a "build it and they will come" optimism, but one that also has its fingers crossed for good luck.
