I caught Jordin Kare in a scientific error.

Jordin is the ubergeek. He wears shirts that "As a matter of fact, I am a rocket scientist." He is currently designing interstellar drives for NASA. His garage is monitored by the MIBs.

He's also a very good filker. I was listening to one of his songs, about lunar mining, when I caught a line about miners "waiting for Earth rise." Sorry, wrong.

The Moon is tidal-locked to the Earth. The Earth hangs motionless in the sky. If you are on the near side, you can always see it. If on the far side, you never see it. The only way to observe an Earthrise is to be in lunar orbit.
