The COTS Enigma
Honolulu HI (SPX) Jan 16, 2007NASA's Commercial Orbital Transportation Services program has been widely hailed by the alt.space community as a breakthrough in US launch policy, but the numbers just don't add up. This project will be too late and too little to make a significant contribution to closing the post-Shuttle ISS supply gap - except perhaps as a slush fund to cover cost overruns in Orion/Ares ... more Spanish Firms Want To Respect Galileo Accords 
Madrid (AFP) March 20, 2007Spanish firms simply want to respect accords surrounding the stalled Galileo satellite navigation project, a Spanish minister insisted Tuesday following claims by partners that Spain is dragging its feet on profitability concerns.

US Hurricane Risk Upgraded By Forecasters
London (AFP) March 20, 2007The chances of powerful Atlantic hurricanes barrelling into the United States this season are much greater than usual a British-led group of scientists said on Tuesday.

Rockville MD (SPX) Mar 22, 2007The ability to resist many of the antibiotics used against plague has been found so far in only a single case of the disease in Madagascar. But because the same ability is present in other kinds of bacteria from a broad range of livestock, antibiotic resistance could potentially spread to other Y. pestis and also other bacterial pathogens. In a paper published March 21 in the new journal PLoS ON ... more Powerful New Tool To Track Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide By Source

Seoul (UPI) March 21, 2007As North Korea walked away from the negotiating table over a money transfer, South Korean analysts predict nuclear talks would be further stalled because Pyongyang is unlikely to drop its nuclear card.
