Today, NASA reviews each step of mission development closely, almost "to a fault," Betts said. That kind of attention to detail doesn't come cheap. Nor do American engineers. According to PayScale.com's global survey, aerospace engineers are paid a median annual salary of $9,773 in India, and almost eight times more -- $75,940 -- in the United States.

    My local (small town) movie theater shut down this month due to not being able to afford to buy new digital projectors. I guess the movie industry is forcing out reel to reel movies.

    I wonder how many other theaters in the US will shut down because they can't afford the change. Still, I have to wonder why my local theater never had a long term strategy in place to switch out old projectors, they had to see 100% digital coming years ago.
