Gmail is no longer beta software
It's all over the news this morning -- Google has officially dropped the "beta" designation from their Gmail web mail application. What this means in practical terms for users is somewhat hazy; but Google appears to be as firmly committed to the product as ever before.

Apollo 11 Quarantine
The interior of the Airstream trailer that served as the quarantine site for the Apollo 11 astronauts for three weeks after their return to Earth. The docent at the museum told us that the microwave in there was developed as part of the space program, and was the first one in the world.
I looked it up later and found the facts were a little different: commercial microwaves were available as early as 1967, two years before Apollo 11, and they were not developed as part of the space program.
