Real Space Travel Much Cooler Than 'gravity'

Replying to Curtorim Congress MLA Aleixo Reginaldo Lourenco's question on fake travel agencies, the Saligao MLA said action against the 10 agencies, under relevant provisions of the Goa Registration of Tourist Trade Act, is under way. Of the 10, six operate in the costal belt of north Goa, specifically around Calangute, Morjim, Candolim, etc, while in the south, all four fake travel agencies operate from Margao. Around 100 small and big travel agencies operate in Goa.

I have to say that their fake space suits, spacecraft and other hardware looked very cool indeed, much more cool than the reality stuff I was going to use! 4. The physics of reality spaceflight are also boring.

Hotels, online sites fight over travel tax burden

At a meeting this year in Atlanta, the National Conference of State Legislators passed a resolution sponsored by a South Dakota Republican urging states to change that process. The resolution, backed by the hotel industry, recommends that states require online travel companies to remit the taxes paid by the consumer based on the retail price, rather than the wholesale price. Making the change, backers of the proposal say, would boost state and local tax revenue. Tax policy has not kept up with changes in technology, giving rise to significant ambiguity in defining the tax base, or the amount subject to tax, Utah state Sen. Curt Bramble (R) said in an e-mail.
