	Gamerz-Edge.com -- Space Hack Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Space Hack doesn’t offer a ton of little options or controls that a lot of bigger budget RPG games offer like multiplayer or camera control, but it does offer a strong, consistent dose of action.
		Space Hack isn’t the deepest RPG you will play, but it is deep for a good old fashioned hack and slash RPG.
		Space Hack is for anyone that is looking for a long, fine action RPG game in the hack and slash style of Diablo.

	Edge: THE CREW OF THE SPACE SHUTTLE COLUMBIA
		The death of the seven astronauts aboard the space shuttle Columbia has been represented by the media as a tragedy not just for the individuals but for American values—as if democracy, liberty and Christianity were part of the payload.
		Speaking at their press conference from space on Friday, each in turn talked of how he or she felt themselves a part of the trans human quest to know more and go further—and each emphasised how the view from space revealed the absurdity of narrow political or religious divisions.
		However, no space travellers would be venturing into the unknown to the extent that the great terrestrial navigators were: those early pioneers had far less foreknowledge of what they might encounter in the regions where ancient cartographers wrote "here be dragons".

	Kármán line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some people (including the FAI in some of their publications) also use the expression "edge of space" to refer to a very vaguely defined (essentially undefined) region below the actual 100 km boundary to space, which is often meant to include substantially lower regions as well.
		Thus, certain balloon or airplane flights might be described as "reaching the edge of space", when they really don't even go half as high as 100 km up.
		Although the United States does not officially define a "boundary of space", the definition of an astronaut is one who has flown above 50 miles above mean sea level, which is still held today.

	NuclearSpace: Could the U.S. be Losing it's Edge in Space Venturing?
		In the civilian commercial world, space is represented by its ability to deliver amusement, transportation and telecommunication; in the military world it is its ability to provide surveillance, possibly a clear missile defense and to have the offensive strike available.
		As civil space projects go, "Commit to a progressive extension of human presence in space by improving human and robotic exploration of the solar system and Universe", he said in a recent article.
		But, in our region of empty space it amounts to 1 hydrogen atom in every cubic centimeter; you can thank the planet Jupiter for that, since most of the solar system's free standing Hydrogen other than the Sun is trapped on Jupiter.

		An aerodynamic engineer might say that space begins when there is not enough of an atmosphere for an aircraft's control surfaces to operate the craft.
		Obviously space does not start at the surface of the Earth because that is where our atmosphere pragmatically begins.
		At this altitude space is dark; the stars no longer shimmer, but are hard points of light.

		The white-collar working world is a maddening place when you’re working in a cubicle within earshot of corporate accounts payable receptionists, maltempered printer-copier machines, romancing squirrels, and a man more concerned with his stapler than the lives of the invalids around him.
		Welcome to Office Space; widely considered to be the ultimate snapshot of the “soft underbelly of corporate America,” it has catapulted into the status of a cult classic over the course of its existence on DVD.
		During Office Space specifically, he must have been having conjugal visits with his conversational expertise, because the dialogue and reactions of the characters in his film are spot-on and instantly familiar.

		From the edge of space a tiny camera captures the dramatic curvature of the Earth, during a test flight that is one small step for Cambridge University students aiming to launch a rocket into space for under £1,000.
		The launch, part of Project Nova, will pave the way for balloon flights to carry scientific experiments designed by local schools and ultimately a rocket capable of delivering payloads into space for a tiny fraction of the present cost.

	Microbes from edge of space revived - 17 December 2002 - New Scientist
		Microbes collected from the edge of space have been brought back to life in the lab.
		How the bugs got there is not known, but there are three possibilities: they were carried up on winds, they sneaked into the samples on Earth or they have flown through space and are aliens making their way down to our planet.
		If the microbes were indeed drifting in from space, Wickramasinghe calculates that up to a tonne could be landing each year, based on the density of microbes found in the air samples.

		Powell and his team of almost 50 volunteers are also working on two other balloon-based craft that go beyond the bounds of the current Air Force program: a high-altitude platform dubbed the "Dark Sky Station," and a 6,000-foot-long (1.8-kilometer-long) Orbital Ascender that would travel from the station to orbit.
