Fuel Leak Delays Launch Of Space Shuttle Atlantis
maybe Sunday maybe not |
Cape Canaveral - Apr 04, 2002
The space shuttle Atlantis' lift-off has been put back to Sunday, April 7 at the earliest, NASA officials said Thursday. "We are looking at a launch no earlier than Sunday afternoon," said Mike Leinbach, NASA shuttle launch director. Originally scheduled for Thursday's, blast-off was delayed by a hydrogen leak in the mobile launch platform. NASA immediately stopped the fueling process.
Smaller Asteroids Can Be Deflected From Earth With A Paint Job
Tucson - Apr 05, 2002
Humans could deflect small but dangerous asteroids from Earth by changing how much sunlight the asteroids reflect, a University of Arizona planetary scientist suggests in the current issue (April 5) of Science. Possible schemes might include covering the upper few centimeters of the asteroid with dirt, or painting its surface white, or fusing part of its surface with a spaceborne solar collector � all technically feasible and civically preferable to launching a nuclear warhead to blast an incoming asteroid off course.

An Interview With An ExoPlanet Hunter
Pasadena - Apr 03, 2002
 Ongoing planet searches continue to turn up new discoveries almost monthly, many of them far more strange than anyone had imagined. All of the planets discovered to date are gas giants, incapable of supporting life as we know it. But the detection of those elusive, small Earth-like worlds may be closer than you think, according to David Charbonneau, an authority on the search for transiting planets and an R.A. Millikan Postdoctoral Scholar in Astronomy at Caltech.
