Well, I've found a job!

Good news! My job search has come to an end, and I've accepted an offer!

I'm going to be working for NASA, under a collaboration with the Alaska Space Grant Program, to set up the first lunar base! That means that I might be following in the (small) footsteps (and giant leaps) of Neil Armstrong and going to the moon, as early as 2014! The idea is to try to terraform a bit of the moon to see if it might be feasible to establish a permanent military base there. I'm going to spend the next year or two developing special hybrid plants and animals (I was given priority since I have experience maintaining a garden and caring for animals in the harsh climate of Alaska!) that will do well in the harsh conditions they will experience on the moon.

So! Exciting!

Moon, here I come!
