Will NASA Be Able To Launch The Constellation...

That not only affects NASA, but also thousands of American workers who now face an uncertain future. While NASA plans to launch at least two more missions in 2011, the end of the three-decade space shuttle program marks the eclipse of some of NASA’s most storied achievements....

More Cracks Found on Space Shuttle Discovery's...
Perhaps the Discovery shuttle will have better luck in 2011. NASA revealed Thursday (30) that technicians have uncovered even more cracks on Discovery’s external tank. It’s unclear what effect these cracks will have on the shuttle’s planned February 3 launch. Separate cracks prompted NASA to scrap a December 17 launch earlier this month and push it to February. Since then,...

Space Poetry.
Skylab by Rolf Jacobsen translated by Roger Greenwald We've come so far, thought the astronaut as he swam around the capsule in his third week and by accident kicked a god in the eye --so far that there's no difference anymore between up and down, north and south, heavy and light. And how, then, can we know righteousness. So far. And weightless, in a sealed room we chase the sunrises at high...

Just came across this website today, while looking up pictures of and details on how the test version of the Buran orbiter (OK-GLI) was exhibited during the 2002 Bahrain Summer Festival. Details are somewhat scarce, other than the long-lasting dispute over the craft’s ownership. The space-capable Buran (1.01) was destroyed in Kazakhstan when the hangar that it was stored in collapsed, and...

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/525347 A really nice flash graphic by Cary Huang depicting the scale of the universe from the smallest known particles to the edge of the universe. I’m sure you’ve seen it before but some of your new followers might not have done and it’s very cool.

This month’s failed launch of three Glonass-M orbiters marked a humiliating setback to the country’s efforts to introduce a global rival to the US Global Positioning System (GPS). A...
