Galileo (the spacecraft, not the mathematician) made its final flyby before being decomissioned (read, crashed into Jupiter), last week. The JPL Galileo Home Page has a nice description of this final flyby as well as the history of this thirteen year old spacecraft. It will take almost a full year for the ship to complete its final orbit and burn up in Jupiter’s atmosphere!

Defeating CASE/UAW
As predicted by my quote at the end of this article in the Cornell student newspaper, I’ve spent the past week since the unionization vote catching up on my sleep and some of the other aspects of my life which were sorely neglected for the past month. After devoting at least 40 hours a week to this activity (and I don’t know who I’m trying to kid pretending any obsession of mine could take over that little of my life), I was quite burnt out from even thinking about the whole process. But I’m now well enough rested to reflect on the experience.
