Built by SpaceDev, this new hybrid rocket engine will burn stronger and a for a few seconds longer than the engine that took SpaceShipOne into space earlier this year. If all goes well, SpaceShipOne will make its first attempt on September 29 from the Mojave Spaceport in California. To win the $10 million prize, it'll need to be carrying the equivalent weight of two people, and then repeat the feat within two weeks. http://www.universetoday.com/am/publish/spaceshipone_gets_bigger_rocket.html <a href="http://www.universetoday.com/am/publish/spaceshipone_gets_bigger_rocket.html";>AOL Link</a> BOOK REVIEW: THE DEPTHS OF SPACE; THE STORY OF THE PIONEER PLANETARY PROBES Sep 14, 2004 - Two, uh... people without clothes. That's what comes to mind when people think about the Pioneer space probes. From a series of some of the most advanced and original missions brought forward by NASA, people's subsequent memory is a sketch of a nude man and women that was used as a greeting card to alien life forms. Luckily, if you want some refreshing insight into the science and the politics of the Pioneer space probes, then you can read Mark Wolverton's book, The Depths of Space, to easily augment some half-forgotten image of people in their natural form. http://www.universetoday.com/am/publish/book_review_depths_of_space.html <a href="http://www.universetoday.com/am/publish/book_review_depths_of_space.html";>AOL Link</a> ROBOTIC TELESCOPES TEAM UP Sep 14, 2004 - British scientists are working on a project that would link up robotic telescopes around the world so they could get the jump on events in the night sky, and keep watching regardless of day or night, or local weather conditions. It's always nighttime somewhere, so the network would connect the telescopes so they can transfer their targets to one another continuously, essentially watching an object around the clock. It's currently planned for three telescopes, but a future version would connect six telescopes. http://www.universetoday.com/am/publish/robotic_telescopes_team_up.html <a href="http://www.universetoday.com/am/publish/robotic_telescopes_team_up.html";>AOL Link</a> Additional headlines from Universe Today http://www.universetoday.com/am/exec/search.cgi?start=5&perpage=8&template=index/default.html <a href="http://www.universetoday.com/am/exec/search.cgi?start=4&perpage=8&template=index/default.html";>AOL Link</a> All contents copyright (c) 2004 Universe Today ----------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe from: Universe Today - Daily Edition (Text), just follow this link: http://www.universetoday.com/mojo/mojo.cgi?f=u&l=ut%2dtext&[EMAIL PROTECTED]&p=4996766 Click this link, or copy and paste the address into your browser.
