	Space Future is for everyone who'd like to visit space. Features include the archive of space tourism work, information on vehicles, tourism and power plus ... The main problem about space is how much it costs to get there: it's too expensive! And that's mainly because launch vehicles are expendable - either entirely, like satellite launchers, or partly, like the space shuttle. So we need reusable launch vehicles. The trouble is that these will not only reduce the cost of launch - they'll also put the makers out of business, unless there's more to launch than just a few satellites a year, as there are today.

	Web-Based Version Of Google Sky Launches By Doug Caverly - Fri, 03/14/2008 - 2:28pm. Seeing outer space becomes easier still If, for whatever reason, you haven't downloaded Google Earth, you've been missing out on the ultra-nifty Sky application. Until now, anyway; Google has released a web-based version. All would-be users need to do is visit sky.google.com and start clicking around. A full 26 localized language editions are standing by, and different operating systems and browsers should all be treated equally. Granted, the web-based Google Sky isn't perfect; its presence on a computer screen hasn't, for example, caused any grown men to cry (as far as we know). Also, a little patience may be necessary - we noticed that panning actions aren't too smooth, and it's easy to cause "no imagery available" notices to come up. Ontdek de sterrenhemel met Google Earth Met ongeveer honderd miljoen sterren en twee honderd miljoen sterrenstelsels kunt u met de Sky-functie in Google Earth de sterrenhemel ontdekken zoals nooit tevoren.

	Google Sponsors Lunar X PRIZE to Create a Space Race for a New Generation $30 Million Purse to be Awarded to Winners SANTA MONICA, Calif., September 13, 2007 – The X PRIZE Foundation and Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) today announced the Google Lunar X PRIZE, a robotic race to the Moon to win a remarkable $30 million prize purse. Private companies from around the world will compete to land a privately funded robotic rover on the Moon that is capable of completing several mission objectives, including roaming the lunar surface for at least 500 meters and sending video, images and data back to the Earth. The Google Lunar X PRIZE is an unprecedented international competition that will challenge and inspire engineers and entrepreneurs from around the world to develop low-cost methods of robotic space exploration. The X PRIZE Foundation, best known for the $10 million Ansari X PRIZE for private suborbital spaceflight, is an educational nonprofit prize organization whose goal is to bring about radical breakthroughs to solve some of the greatest challenges facing the world today.

	Astronomers discover most Earth-like extrasolar planet yet Gliese 876 (or GJ 876) is a small, red star known as an M dwarf - the most common type of star in the galaxy. It is located in the constellation Aquarius, and, at about one-third the mass of the sun, is the smallest star around which planets have been discovered. Butler and Marcy detected the first planet in 1998, and it proved to be a gas giant about twice the mass of Jupiter. Then, in 2001, they reported a second planet, another gas giant about half the mass of Jupiter. The two are in resonant orbits, the outer planet taking 60 days to orbit the star, twice the period of the inner giant planet.
	BBC Science & Nature - Space Junk - Since the first satellite, Sputnik 1, was launched in 1957, thousands of space probes, satellites and telescopes have been sent into space. Just as we have created rubbish mountains on Earth, we've also accumulated a blanket of junk around the Earth. This debris silently zooms around the globe at speeds of up to 25,000 miles per hour with altitudes ranging from hundreds to thousands of miles. NASA frequently replace windows on the space shuttle that have been damaged by objects as small as a flake of paint.
	The NASA Orbital Debris Program Office is located at the Johnson Space Center and is the lead NASA center for orbital debris research. It is recognized world-wide for its leadership in addressing orbital debris issues. The NASA Orbital Debris Program Office has taken the international lead in conducting measurements of the environment and in developing the technical consensus for adopting mitigation measures to protect users of the orbital environment. Work at the center continues with developing an improved understanding of the orbital debris environment and measures that can be taken to control its growth.
