They're just like us! They waste spend their time on this site, too!

What do you think are the remote sensing applications for the new launch vehicle and spacecraft technologies? Will any of these new technologies be fitted with a spectrometer? If so, what wavelength frequency/frequencies will be examined?

Thanks so much for doing this!

I currently work in a metal framed building in downtown Portland that is not retrofitted (it was built in the 1940s). In the event of 'the big one,' or in the event of a more localized earthquake, what I can do to prepare myself, other than making sure I have water/food handy and ensuring that I get under a sturdy desk during the shaking? Does it matter if I am higher up in the building (like the 8th floor) or if I am closer to the ground (like the 2nd floor)?

Thanks so much for doing this AMA!
