whyilovehomeschooling

guthrie, my 15 year old, is homeschooling. among other lessons he is required to read one article from the scientific american and one from the new york times (online) every day. he emails me a synopsis including several key points. this was his report on the sciam today. i would like to have included his reports from the ny times, but they needed a little editing for profanity. apparently he's been tutoring with the shade of george carlin... and possibly lennie bruce.
Force Fields for Mars Exploration?
European researchers have developed a magnetic force field that hopefully will allow astronauts to explore dangerous Martian territory. Scientists in England tested the field by firing charged particles (stand in for energetic solar particles) at it at mach 3. What they saw was almost a complete reflection of the particles. So now we know that those commie Martians' laser guns won’t phase our astronauts. Then we can have Saturtians occupy Mars and suppress communism, then we can use a puppet dictator and run Mars from behind the curtain.

i am so proud.
