THE WORLD NEEDS A U.N. SPACE FLEET
WE WILL TAKE NO FRONTIERS INTO SPACE!
We aim to create a space agency of all nations - a United Nations Space Fleet, in order to:
- keep war out of space and off other worlds
- develop re-usable orbital launch vehicles, thus bringing the cost of access to space down
- give humanity a lifeboat from environmental disaster on Earth by establishing self-sufficient colonies on the Moon and Mars

NASA Warned Against Constellation Stoppage
|
|
Two dozen members of the U.S. House of Representatives are warning NASA Administrator Charles Bolden not to shut down any part of the Constellation program this year, citing a provision included in a 2010 omnibus spending bill that bars the agency from terminating any part of the space shuttle replacement effort without formal congressional approval.

You might have been thinking that Pluto is just too far away for any detail on its surface to be seen. Actually the Hubble Space Telescope's resolution is a good deal sharper than Pluto's diameter, so it can pick out dark and light areas, though it's not quite good enough for the fine detail of craters and cracks, etc. For that, we will have to wait for the New Horizons probe to grab some pictures as it whips past on its way out of the solar system.

Several web sites have been carrying an article claiming that the SOHO sun-observing NASA satellites have picked up a large spherical object, the size of the Earth, but so close to the sun that it was in or close to the solar corona, the very thin and very hot region of gas surrounding the sun.
