Is Travel Through a Black Hole Possible
Washington - Apr 11, 2003Spaceship travel to another universe through a black hole may be highly improbable, but it cannot be ruled out, according to a new analysis that explores the idea of "hybrid singularity." As science fiction fans know, anyone who wishes to fall into a black hole and re-emerge at some distant location or even an another universe would have to go through a forbidding region inside the black hole known as a "space-time singularity." Beyond "Pi In The Sky" 
Stanford - Apr 14, 2003For most of us, "inflation" is a term that comes up only in conversations about the economy or flat tires. But for many cosmologists, inflation is the ultimate word in understanding how the universe was created. Science Begins For LIGO In Quest To Detect Gravitational Waves 
Pasadena - Apr 14, 2003Armed with one of the most advanced scientific instruments of all time, physicists are now watching the universe intently for the first evidence of gravitational waves. Boeing-Built AsiaSat 4 Communication Satellite Successfully Launched 
St. Louis - Apr 11, 2003The fourth in a series of four built by Boeing, the AsiaSat 4 satellite for Asia Satellite Telecommunications Company Limited of Hong Kong was successfully launched today from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla. |
Futron Reviews Our Orbital ASCENT
Bethesda - Apr 14, 2003Futron has recently completed a groundbreaking study of existing and emerging space markets. The study, commissioned by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) as part of the Space Launch Initiative, was dubbed the ASCENT Study, which stands for Analysis of Space Concepts Enabled by New Transportation. NASA Rovers Slated To Examine Two Intriguing Sites On Mars 
Pasadena - Apr 14, 2003NASA has chosen two scientifically compelling landing sites for twin robotic rovers to explore on the surface of Mars early next year. The two sites are a giant crater that appears to have once held a lake, and a broad outcropping of a mineral that usually forms in the presence of liquid water. Mars: Settling In For The Long Wait 
South Bend - Apr 11, 2003The loss of the shuttle Columbia on February 1 has triggered an extensive re-examination of the space program by supporters and pundits alike. It has also stimulated renewed popular interest in a range of schemes for accelerating space exploration-especially for sending humans to Mars-some of which appear to be panaceas of little immediate practical value. NASA Takes A Look At Menacing Peruvian Glacier 
Pasadena - Apr 14, 2003An Earth-monitoring instrument aboard NASA's Terra satellite is keeping a close eye on a potential glacial disaster-in-the-making in Peru's spectacular, snow-capped Cordillera Blanca (White Mountains), the highest range of the Peruvian Andes. |

Sunproofing Solar Cells
Ames - Apr 14, 2003Iowa -- Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory and Iowa State University's Microelectronics Research Center may have solved a mystery that has plagued the research community for more than 20 years: Why do solar cells degrade in sunlight? Finding the answer to that question is essential to the advancement of solar cell research and the ability to produce lower-cost electricity from sunlight. Decades Without Leadership Leaves US Space Policy Visionless 
Washington - Apr 14, 2003The future of the manned space effort is in question unless we recognize certain realities which the United States leadership to date have both politically and Science & Technology policy wise have been unwilling to address. |
