Japanese Space Probe Returns To Earth After 7-Year Journey To Collect Asteroid Material
Post Date: 2010-06-13 19:44:19 by Brian S

ADELAIDE, Australia - A fiery burst of light over the Australian Outback marked the return of a Japanese space probe that scientists hope carried samples from an asteroid that could offer insights into the creation and makeup of the solar system. It is the first time that a spacecraft has successfully landed on an asteroid and returned to Earth. After travelling 4-billion miles (6 billion kilometres) in seven years, the Hayabusa explorer incinerated on re-entry just before midnight Sunday, after jettisoning a capsule expected to contain the first asteroid dust ever collected. "We just had a spectacular display out over the outback skies of South Australia," said Trevor Ireland, ...
Obama: Skimmers? We don't need no stinkin' skimmers

Obama Turned Down Oil Skimming Ships From The Dutch Government Three days after the spill, the Dutch government offered oil skimming ships and booms to assist with the clean up. The Obama administration turned down the request. President Obama's stumbling response to this ecological disaster has been shameful and proves he lacks the executive experience to be President. In late May, President Obama said, "Those who think we were either slow on the response or lacked urgency, don't know the facts..." The excerpt posted below proves that statement wasn't true. The Houston Chronicle reported: Three days after the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of ...
Liftoff! SpaceX's Falcon 9 soars to orbit

SpaceX launched its first Falcon 9 rocket on an apparently successful maiden flight today. The 180-foot tall rocket soared off Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air ForceStation at 2:45 p.m., with only 15 minutes remaining in the four-hour launch window. The launch was widely seen as a litmus test of President Obama's controversial plan to shift the responsibility for launching U.S. astronauts from NASA to commercial space companies - even as SpaceX officials and analysts called that unfair pressure. Initial indications were that the launch proceeded as planned. SpaceX would not release the flight profile for the mission. But the rocket was programmed to fly due east into a ...

#6. To: bluewater boats (#0) Puzzling. Sinkholes USUALLY occur when the sand in the area is no longer wet. Sand and water mix, and make for a stable foundation. When there is a drought, the water recedes, and the sand is not held in place any longer, sometimes when the water recedes, there are pockets it filled that empty, and the sand shifts and falls into it creating a sinkhole. I've never heard of a sinkhole that was created from too much water. Very curious. Maybe the Space Aliens did it to create a hole for their ships to fly into./s Goldi-Lox posted on 2010-06-01 12:52:20 ET

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) -- Space shuttle Atlantis returned from its final voyage Wednesday, closing out a quarter-century flying career and safely bringing back six astronauts from a successful space station mission. "Twenty-five years, 32 flights and more than 120 million miles traveled. The legacy of Atlantis now in the history books," Mission Control's commentator announced at touchdown. About 1,200 guests - the maximum number allowed - lined the Kennedy Space Center runway for the conclusion to NASA's third-to-last shuttle flight. Employees wore white ribbons with the name "Atlantis" and its picture embossed in gold. Even the lead flight directors came in ...
NASA Ends Effort To Contact Phoenix Mars Lander

(05-24) 20:21 PDT LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The Phoenix lander will not rise again. NASA declared the three-legged spacecraft officially dead Monday after repeated failed attempts to regain contact. A recent image taken by an orbiting spacecraft appeared to show one of Phoenix's solar panels had collapsed from ice buildup. Phoenix landed near the Martian north pole on May 25, 2008, and successfully operated for five months — two months longer than planned — until sunlight at its far northern location waned. Scientists did not expect it to survive the Martian winter but continued to listen for any signs of life. "We had very little expectation of Phoenix recovering, but ...
Gulf Spill Looks 'Alarming' from Space, ISS Crew Says

The 12 crew members currently occupying the International Space Station (ISS) said yesterday that the Gulf of Mexico oil slick looked very alarming and scary from space. Astronauts from NASA, RosCosmos and JAXA took a moment from their busy schedule as they were flying over the Gulf on May 18, and took numerous pictures of the devastation, which may help authorities in charge of the clean-up effort to their job better. The Expedition 23 members said that they experienced a lot of discomfort when seeing the scale of the spill, which US officials are struggling hard to contain. The Deepwater Horizon semi-submersible drilling rig, which operated only tens of miles south of the coasts of ...

ROME (AP) -- Catholic Church officials said Friday that the recently created first synthetic cell could be a positive development if correctly used, but warned scientists that only God can create life. Vatican and Italian church officials were mostly cautious in their first reaction to the announcement from the United States that researchers had produced a living cell containing manmade DNA.

Gulf Oil Spill: First Attempt With Oil Containment Box FAILS, Blobs Of Tar Reach Shore ON THE GULF OF MEXICO — A novel but risky attempt to use a 100-ton steel-and-concrete box to cover a deepwater oil well gushing toxic crude into the Gulf of Mexico was aborted Saturday after ice crystals encased it, an ominous development as thick blobs of tar began washing up on Alabama's white sand beaches. The setback left the mission to cap the ruptured well in doubt. It had taken about two weeks to build the box and three days to cart it 50 miles out then slowly lower it to the well a mile below the surface, but the frozen depths were too much for it to handle. Still, BP officials ...
Invisible Disaster Unfolding In Gulf of Mexico: Experts

Oil may not yet be washing ashore in large quantities in Louisiana but an environmental disaster is already unfolding deep down in the Gulf of Mexico and in the swirling currents on its surface, experts warned Thursday. "Everyone is focusing on the beaches and coastal wetlands, which, goodness knows are important enough, but we're missing many of the already ongoing ecological effects of the spill," Doug Rader, chief ocean scientist at the Environmental Defense Fund, told reporter. Louisianans and Floridians were warily watching their beaches and wetlands and laying down booms to trap any sludgy mixtures of oil and sea organisms that might wash ashore in key tourist and ...
El Nino Warming System That Delays Hurricanes Will Fade by June, U.S. Says

May 6 (Bloomberg) -- The Pacific Ocean warming phenomenon known as El Nino that helps retard development of Atlantic hurricanes will disappear by June, the U.S. Climate Prediction Center forecast said today. One-third of weather models indicate a La Nina, or cooling, may develop in its place. “These forecasts, in addition to various oceanic and atmospheric indicators, indicate a growing possibility of La Nina developing during the second half of 2010,” the center said on its website. El Nino is a warming that occurs every two to five years, on average, and lasts about 12 months. It is credited with making the 2009 Atlantic hurricane season the least active in 12 years, ...

Giant oil-services provider Halliburton may be a primary suspect in the investigation into the oil rig explosion that has devastated the Gulf Coast, the Wall Street Journal reports. Though the investigation into the explosion that sank the Deepwater Horizon site is still in its early stages, drilling experts agree that blame probably lies with flaws in the "cementing" process -- that is, plugging holes in the pipeline seal by pumping cement into it from the rig. Halliburton was in charge of cementing for Deepwater Horizon. "The initial likely cause of gas coming to the surface had something to do with the cement," said Robert MacKenzie, managing director of energy and ...

Disturbing evidence that honeybees are in terminal decline has emerged from the United States where, for the fourth year in a row, more than a third of colonies have failed to survive the winter. The decline of the country's estimated 2.4 million beehives began in 2006, when a phenomenon dubbed colony collapse disorder (CCD) led to the disappearance of hundreds of thousands of colonies. Since then more than three million colonies in the US and billions of honeybees worldwide have died and scientists are no nearer to knowing what is causing the catastrophic fall in numbers. The number of managed honeybee colonies in the US fell by 33.8% last winter, according to the annual survey by ...

Liberalism, Atheism, Male Sexual Exclusivity Linked To IQ

(CNN) -- Political, religious and sexual behaviors may be reflections of intelligence, a new study finds. Evolutionary psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa at the the London School of Economics and Political Science correlated data on these behaviors with IQ from a large national U.S. sample and found that, on average, people who identified as liberal and atheist had higher IQs. This applied also to sexual exclusivity in men, but not in women. The findings will be published in the March 2010 issue of Social Psychology Quarterly. The IQ differences, while statistically significant, are not stunning -- on the order of 6 to 11 points -- and the data should not be used to stereotype or make ...
