Looks like a really cool lecture at the Museum of Flight this Saturday.
Quoted: Near-Earth objects (NEOs, asteroids & comets) have been impacting Earth episodically for the past 4.5 billion years. They don't hit often, but when they do they are a serious threat to life & property. Ask the dinosaurs... they lost it all.

Excellent story about Ric Weiland's life - I wasn't really aware of any of this when he was alive. I did have lunch with him at the Museum of Flight, where made a bequest from his father's estate to the museum.
Quoted: Weiland left $160 million, the majority of his estate, to charity.

Concern by aviation buffs that the retired Concordes are not being properly cared for. Ours (at Museum of Flight in Seattle), is also outside at the moment. We'd like to build a building to house it (and our other large aircraft...and maybe a shuttle one day) - we're still a capital campaign away from being able to accomplish that.
Thankfully, Seattle winters are not generally very harsh - but the damp conditions are not ideal for an airframe.

Bonnie was on KUOW's Weekday today - heard some of this on my way in to work. This link will go stale - I need to come back when they have a persistent archive.
This might work in future:
