A Piggyback Solution For Science And Exploration
Moffett Field CA (SPX) Apr 02, 2007As the drive to explore and colonize the moon switches into high gear, some scientists worry that funding exploration could drain resources away from pure science. One principle of the upcoming manned missions, said Paul Spudis, of the Planetary Exploration Group at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, is to "try to understand what is involved in cutting the logistical cord with Earth. Can humans live and thrive off the planet?" ... read more ISRO To Scale Up Outsourcing To Private Sector 
Bangalore, India (SPX) Apr 02, 2007India's space agency ISRO will step up outsourcing of works related to satellite and rocket building to the private sector, which in the long run could churn out overall systems as the organisation focuses on research and development. Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Chairman G Madhavan Nair expects the role of the private sector in Indian space programmes to grow over a period o ... more State Council Meets To Discuss Space Matters 
Moscow (RIA Novosti) Apr 02, 2007The fact that the State Council, an advisory body to the Russian president, met on March 29 to discuss Russian aerospace and that the meeting was attended by President Vladimir Putin points to the importance which the country's leadership attaches to the space industry.

Peterson AFB CO (AFNS) Apr 03, 2007The Schriever IV Space Wargame is underway at Nellis AFB, Nev., where a 400-member team of space professionals battle in a global environment scenario set in the year 2025. The simulation is designed to verify space capabilities, tactics and techniques used by the 21st century joint warfighter. The five-day wargame began March 25. It brings together officials from Headquarters Air Fo ... more Investing In North Korea 
Barcelona (UPI) Spain, April 2, 2007The most effective way to influence the future of North Korea is through economic development and incentives. The 500 million euro North Korea Investment Fund exists to economically engage the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. While the six-party talks continue -- which they should and must -- Global Panel and the Prague Society will continue to grow this fund. At the 4th Session of t ... more The Future Of al-Qaida 
Washington (UPI) April 02, 2007One of the pillars of al-Qaida's operational objectives in its war against the West is striking at targets of high economic value, the so-called bleed-until-bankruptcy plan first made public by Osama bin Laden in December 2004.

Bleak Warning Expected As UN Climate Scientists Meet
Brussels (AFP) April 02, 2007The world's top climate scientists gathered here Monday to hammer out the summary of a massive report that predicts dire consequences from global warming, especially for poor nations and species diversity. Even if dramatic measures are taken to reduce the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions that drive warming, temperatures will continue to climb for decades to come, the experts are set to concl ... more Researchers Help Find Master Switch In Plant Communication 
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Apr 03, 2007Scientists have puzzled for years in understanding how plants pass signals of stress, due to lack of water or salinity, from chloroplast to nuclei. They know that chloroplasts -- the cellular organelles that give plants their green color -- have at least three different signals that can indicate a plant is under stress. Given the challenges the environment will be facing over the coming de ... more Nevada Scientists Improve Tsunami Warning Systems 
Reno NV (SPX) Apr 03, 2007Scientists at the University of Nevada, Reno are at the forefront on a number of seismological fields, including helping the world better determine whether an earthquake is big enough to generate an ocean-wide tsunami.
