Plan 3 From Outer Space: The Bush Budget Switch 
Honolulu - Jan 14, 2004There is a lot to like in President Bush's new space initiative. Most of the technical and programmatic changes to the current hopeless NASA plan are steps that various critics have been suggesting for some time: early phase-out of Shuttle, dumping the decaying corpse of the Space Station onto the shoulders of the "International Partners", scrapping the winged Orbital Space Plane in favor of a ballistic "Apollo Mark II" vehicle with Moon-return and Mars-return capability, writes Jeffrey F.

Chemists Crack Secrets Of Nature's Super Glue
Arlington - Jan 15, 2004Researchers have discovered that iron in seawater is the key binding agent in the super-strong glues of the common blue mussel, Mytilus edulis. This is the first time researchers have determined that a metal such as iron is critical to forming an amorphous, biological material. Navy Enlists Microbes To Cut Costs 
Washington - Jan 15, 2004Microbes have been exploited for thousands of years to help us make bread and alcohol, and more recently, to make antibiotics and clean up toxic spills. Now the Office of Naval Research is hoping the one-celled organisms will reduce the costs of producing a missile propellant, and in the process, lead to a new age of "bioproduction." |

Researchers Show Evolutionary Theory Adds Up
Calgary - Jan 15, 2004All living plants and animals are likely derived from two primitive species of bacteria, a mathematics professor at the University of Alberta has shown. Dr. Peter Antonelli and a former post-doctoral student of his, Dr. Solange Rutz, used an original mathematical modeling system and software program to evaluate and compare the two main theories of biological evolution. |
