Nope. Just something that I can localize (eg interview someone over)

I did an op-ed last week and have to do something different.

The Palestinians are pressing their case for UN membership. Perhaps you could write a piece on that, and find out what people in your city think of Israel?

I quite like that. I'm definitely putting that down on my list of possible articles. I might have to wait until a bit closer to publishing time to write it though as that's more of a news article (we don't write 'news' until the last week or so before publishing).

This could be an exposé into into the dark and dangerous waffle iron industry and its treatment of the mentally disabled.

So write an opinion piece and have pretty graphics showing what people in your city think to fill up the blank spaces.

hrm...fair enough. I think I'll have to still wait a week though since I did an opinion piece last week.
What do you think of this for this week?
An article on the last space shuttle launch, with a possibility of having some exclusive pictures and a few quotes from an astronomer

Sounds good, but next week is really the limit, because it's just old news after that. the last shuttle launch gets an exemption because people are always interested in that stuff, and a lot of people didn't know they're retired.

Do an article on the future of human space exploration, perhaps profiling the manned space programs of other countries now that the US has discontinued its own.

Fair point, I'll most likely have that as next week's article (it's always nice to plan ahead).
And as for the shuttle article, My only worry is about the astronomer: He's technically local, but only temporarily. He's going back to Florida in a day or so :/ If I can just iron out the details with him (preferably today), then I can just speed through to my deadline.

I like this idea. If you find someone in the art department to collab with to create diagrams, you can have a lot of success with science articles whilst simultaneously not writing much.

Local is as local does. But make sure to get street opinions and photographs as well.

True point. My friend is an artist who could probably mock up diagrams for me, or I could just ask the instructor if he could help. Hell, I could design them myself in photoshop if need be.
> Local is as local does. But make sure to get street opinions and photographs as well.
Well the photos will be the astronomers, and I hope he'll let me use some of them. I'll try to get some street opinions tomorrow during lunch.
Thank you guys so much by the way.

No worries. Remember that the future is likely in private enterprise but NASA, RSA, CNSA and ESA will still be the big players in scientific research.

Sorry to ask, but I'm just wondering if you guys think I should devote much of the article to the space shuttle program's last mission or if I should leave that to just a paragraph or two so I can open up the rest for future space travel?
