stardust

First, the carpets. Stardust: Riviera: Okay, so clearly the Stardust wins this one hands down. It was brighter, more fun, and stars are way cooler than sissy flowers. Um, other analyses will need to wait until I actually get there. I just stumbled across this web site of Las Vegas casino...

No, not the Vegas hotel, but this: http://stardustathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/background.html "In January 2004, the Stardust spacecraft flew through the coma of comet Wild2 and captured thousands of cometary dust grains in special aerogel collectors. Two years later, in January 2006, Stardust will...

Hey. I've pinged this question around to a few people, and haven't had an answer yet, so maybe someone who'se been before will know. The hotel has rooms at discount prices if we specify TAM4. I have TAM tickets, but I would like to stay in the room with someone who MAY not. Is this going to...

I realize that this is a bit premature, but I was looking at the Stardust website to book rooms, and they have 3 main types..the Villas, and the East and West tower. As they all appear to be the same price, are there any differences between them? Which ones are the best?

When TAM4 begins, the Stardust will no longer be the home of Wayne Newton. Story here. I'm wondering whether the new Stardust headliner will be George Carlin. He announced on the Tonight Show late last year that he had been fired from one hotel but he was moving to the Stardust.

Maybe a helpful tip. On the Airport, just follow the "Ground Transportation" signs. It will take you a while to get to the spot (short train ride included). Once on the outside you'll see several ticket-selling cabins along the sidewalk. Just ask for a ride to The Stardust, any of them should do...

Just in case anyone is wondering, there's a business center close to the Reception with 4 computers connected to the internet. The down side is that it's $ 0.69 per minute :(. Gotta go folks, I'm in a hurry.... :D

I just got off the phone of the with the business center and was told that wireless internet is available for 15.99 per 24 hours. Just thought Id give a heads up for those interested. (I really wish you could edit the thread title) :rolleyes:

The Stardust mission is a probe sent to collect material from different comets and return them to earth for study. I've seen a few articles and television news spots recently about the mission. To my surprise, I have yet to hear any Doomsday predictions about the material the probe will be...

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2003/12/031202070738.htm Exciting! But speaking as someone who has watched The Andromeda Strain, I have to wonder about the wisdom of returning samples to Earth. Here's the original JPL press release with the comet photo.
