Paris (AFP) Sept 6, 2010
The EU executive commission is not providing sufficient support to the European space industry, currently locked in close competition with its US counterpart, the head of French space group Astrium said in an interview published on Monday.

Chemical basis for first life theorized
Arlington, Va. (UPI) Sep 3, 2010
The start of life on Earth presents a paradox, scientists say: How did amino acids arise before there were biological catalysts needed to build them? It's a chicken-and-the-egg puzzle: How could the basic biochemicals like amino acids and nucleotides have come about when there were no catalysts, like proteins or ribosomes, around to create them? Now scientists propose that a thir ... more
