Default Glider pilot looks for water

One of our friends lives on the first ridge south of our glider port.
I have seen him flying his fixed wing ultralight high over the San
Gabriel mountains amoung really big cumulus clouds. I've wondered
about him.
Yesterday, Feb 22, 07, I saw an article in the AV Press that he was
looking for water...on planets...300 to 900 TRILLION miles from earth!
Carl (Karl) Grillmair is the study leader of the California Institute
of Technology. We always knew our glider pilots were special...WOW!
