Knowing that an astronaut (one of only twelve people on the whole planet Earth) had traveled a quarter million miles across the void of cislunar space, landed on a barren and dusty surface, stepped out of his cocoon of the lunar module, picked up that rock, then brought it home again, is a pretty amazing and daunting thought. * Committee Warns NASA To Keep CEV on Track http://www.space.com/spacenews/businessmonday_061002.html Members of the House Science Committee sought assurances from NASA Sept. 28 that the agency is taking sufficient steps to keep the Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle from busting its budget and schedule as so many other large agency programs have in recent years. * Space Elevator: Hoist to the Heavens http://www.space.com/news/060929_xprize_cup_elevator.html Admittedly, at least for now, the idea of a beanstalk-like space elevator connecting Earth and space is a stretch. * U.K.'s Starchaser Racing Virgin to Space http://www.space.com/news/060929_starchaser_unveiling.html The U.K.-based rocket manufacturing company Starchaser unveiled Thursday its first prototype rocket at Salford University. ---------------------------------- * SpaceTV: http://www.space.com/video/ * NightSky: http://www.space.com/spacewatch/ * Uplink: Share your opinion! http://uplink.space.com/ ------------------------------------- JOIN NOW!
