- Alternative-energy elevators shoot for the stars
  Posted by Jeff from Seattle Times
  Directed toward the craft from the ground was an array of 135 mirrors to concentrate the blinding New Mexico sunlight to an intensity equal to 300 suns. The beam shined on the climber's high-efficiency solar cells. With a muffled whirring, it rose 35 feet.

- NASA Mars rover reaches "Victoria Crater"
  Posted by Jeff from BoingBoing
  The Mars rover named Opportunity reached a long-anticipated destination today: the rim of "Victoria Crater," on the Meridiani Planum region of the red planet, on the rover's 951st Martian day, or sol (Sept. 26, 2006). After the drive, the rover's navigation camera took the three exposures combined into this view of the crater's interior. This crater has been the mission's long-term destination for the past 21 Earth months.

  Glad they are home safely. Still a very dangerous craft and very dangerous endeavor.

U.S. to rely on Russia for manned spaceflight - International Herald Tribune

McCain denounced Russia as a KGB run state and has called to oust Russia from the G8. How will this partnership be affected if he gets voted in?

Liquid Lakes On Saturn's Moon Confirmed

Now we just have to send up a spacecraft, suck up all those chemicals and lightly accelerate it back to earth – without blowing anything up.

Pentagon to shoot down broken spy satellite

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