Hello Troops,
The Troubadours have spent weeks and months vigorously perfecting their performances on the various stages at the CMSEC, DSC and LAKEVIEW. It is now time for these jolly troupes to take a much needed rest with family and friends.
This Thursday, the shire's many stages will darken as these bands of brothers and sisters feast on turkey, cranberries, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie. Speaking on behalf of all, I want to thank them for their efforts in entertaining and educating us with tales of heroism and daring adventure told with drama and song. They have done well indeed.
The Search for Troubadours
Our stages are in constant search of Troubadours willing to work long hours for little or no pay. Are you ready to answer the call should this quest land at your doorstep?

Another could strike anytime
From Quarks to Quasars
Cosmic radiation is constantly bombarding our planet, fragmenting atoms in the upper atmosphere as it does. Every now and again, however, vast cosmic events can have a more dramatic effect on our world.
Occasionally considered as having potentially catastrophic consequences, gamma ray bursts are amongst the most powerful single events in the known universe – so powerful that we can detect them from the other side of the Universe. Now it looks as if Earth was struck by one about 1,200 years ago. Read More
Could We Prevent an Asteroid Collision?
From Quarks to Quasars
In its early life, the Earth would have been peppered nearly continuously with asteroids and debris. Today, the Earth still receives thousands of tons of matter from space, but this is in the form of microscopic dust particles. Fortunately, a large asteroid colliding with the surface of the Earth is very rare. Nevertheless, it does happen from time to time. You probably heard about the Russian Chelyabinsk meteor which hit in February of this year. It entered at a shallow angle at 60 times the speed of sound, and it exploded in an air burst. The size of this body of rock (before it burnt up and shattered) was estimated to be around 20 m across and weigh 13,000 metric tons. This isn't large by any means, but it was enough to injure over a thousand people and damage nearly 20,000 buildings. Read More

The Answer to Whether Alien Life Exists May be Hiding Inside Our Own Body!
From Science Gymnasium
According to a new theory, human genetic code is embedded with a "designer label" that may be an indelible stamp of a master extraterrestrial civilization that preceded us by many millions or billions of years. Read More
The Imaginarium
Swapping out the ordinary and replacing it with the extraordinary takes so much time, but well worth the effort.

If there was a space center closer to where I live, I would most certainly answer the quest to be a troubadour again if you'll take me :)
