- Lighting Up The Past And The Future
  Posted by Orato
  My father used to say that every problem can be solved by either a bigger hammer or more light. While the politicians swing their proverbial hammers scientists are lighting up not just the cosmic future, but also our cultural past. Much of what we know about extrasolar objects comes to us because of astronomical spectroscopy - ostensibly, the reading of light.

  Posted by Jeff from MSNBC
  I had worried it would kill him... As Zero Gravity Corp.'s modified Boeing 727 jet touched down here at NASA's Shuttle Landing Facility on Thursday. Although specific details are not yet known, Hawking's host for the flight, Zero Gravity co-founder and chief executive officer Peter Diamandis, signaled with his fingers that the world-famous physicist went weightless eight times.

It probably sounded static-y because of all the debris in space from their exploded satellite.
