Standalone addon simulating Tiangong 3, a station planned for launch in 2015 and which will be the core block of the proposed Chinese Space Agency station. According to information available, the core module will be very similar to a Zvezda module (see picture enclosed in this folder).    As...

NASA update number 9 Phew, so that's OK then. It won't be putting any precious American lives at risk, only foreigners whose worthless existences it would be a mercy to extinguish. UARS = ISS in 4 to 5 years.

BBC report on the same http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-14915725 Can anyone explain the difference between this and the defunct Ares V? Sure looks similar to my untrained eye...

It may seem incredible that in the world of manned spaceflight, of polished steel and facemasked technicians, of high-tech mission control and protocols for everything, there is a body of folklore, superstition and tradition that is followed by each and every crewmember as if performing a sacred...

Do you mean the 392nd anniversary of the Mayflower landing on Plymouth Rock? Or the 75th anniversary of Disney's Snow White? Maybe the 44th anniversary of the Apollo 8 launch? I don't think you want to celebrate the 24th anniversary of the Lockerbie 747 terrorist attack... But it is the winter...

For Middle-East news you can check Al-Jazeera English on YouTube, constant streaming http://www.youtube.com/user/aljazeeraenglish It's highly professional, mostly staffed by ex-BBC employees. New York Times is the best newspaper in the US, and almost the only one written in readable English...

Interesting report in today's New York Times on how the NASA astronauts are responding to the imminent end of their space careers: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/24/science/space/24astronaut.html There are some new astronauts - or should we say NASA cosmonauts? - still being recruited, but...

And there's no way of knowing now what will be considered the greatest breakthrough in physics in the near future. It may be that the string- and M-brane theorists are correct, in which case Kaku might be counted among the great names of which you speak. What I really mean by the league table...

Last royal wedding I remember, the 1981 disaster featuring Prince Dumbo and Princess Haircut, all TV schedules in the UK were cleared to show this exciting event 24/7. If you're talking about the BBC, I think you can say goodbye to the Doc during that week.

Getting back to the original post, which was about the huge media coverage, it's interesting to contrast the widespread US news interest with the indifference of the US public: http://www.mediaite.com/online/nytcbs-poll-only-6-of-americans-care-about-prince-william-and-kate-middleton/ So why...

If by "UFO nut", you mean that because he says that 5% of UFO reports are unexplained, he's crazy, that's definitely stretching the definition of nut. Look at this video from 1.30 onwards: When asked if these UFO sightings have extraterrestrial origin, he says "I wouldn't go that far...

Mathematics - though I have had high achievements in arts and humanities, and my interest in science is high, the language of mathematics is foreign to me, which means that any kind of reading on physics, engineering, etc is quickly made confusing and impenetrable. Related to that - programme...

So far most horrible are the squashed finger from Jedidia, dog savaging from Loru, Aedar's bike wreck plus road rash, and Krys's "women's things" aged 24.

I'm going to ignore the "no multi-choice rule" simply because it's too simplistic to say there's one best opening or even one personal favourite. Each film is trying to do something different, so naturally techniques and approaches vary. Top 5 (in no order) Fight Club - You can't see the...

It looks quite like one of the intermediate designs for Kliper: As you know Kliper is theoretically for 6 crew, and has a detachable docking/orbit module based on the Soyuz OM I like the design a lot. Suggested possible names: Micron Kestrel DynoMite (tribute to DynoSoar, but could be a...
