After two years the feds have finally arrested their first person over the BP oil spill. The spill was the largest ever off an American coast, letting out more than 200 million gallons of crude oil and killing 11 workers. The engineer arrested had deleted 300 text messages from high ranking BP people saying the spill was much worse than they were saying it was and lied about the flow rate of the oil leaking into the gulf. I think this engineer shouldnt be punished because he was told to do all of this from his bosses who in turn will not get in trouble for what they did.

Scientists are now thinking its possible to mine on objects in space. They are planning on using low cost robots to do the work so they can keep the cost down but im not how anything in space could be low cost. They are hoping the materials they can get off planet will hope lower the cost of things on earth like TVs and cell phones. I hope they end up doing this because it sounds like a really cool futuristic project.
