  Journey Into Space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Journey Into Space was a BBC Radio science fiction series written by BBC producer Charles Chilton.
The first episode of Series 1, Journey Into Space, was broadcast on September 21, 1953 on the Light Programme (which later became BBC Radio 2).
The series has been translated into 17 languages, broadcast world-wide, and in the UK it was the last radio series to attract a higher audience than that watching television.

 Marking Time In Our Journey Into Space
According to Jacques-Emil Blamont of France's national centre for space studies, the most juice that could possibly be got out of modern technology is 200 kilometres (125 miles) a second through airless space.
The European Space Agency's Planck mission, set for launch in 2007, bluntly proclaims its quest to be the origin of everything -- a search for the radiation that originated with the Big Bang and which could lead to enormous leaps in understanding, and thus exploration.
However in the short term (the next 100 years, say), and despite current daydreams about space tourism and orbiting hotels, the prospect of manned rocket travel to far-flung galaxies will remain a subject for fiction -- just as the landing on the Moon was until mankind took a certain giant step.

 Journey into space | Weekend | Guardian Unlimited
Judd's was the kind of exhibition that one couldn't have imagined 10 or so years earlier, when curators took works that had been made by the artist in the studio and then simply presented their own idea of what looked "right" in the gallery.
He sought to make space symmetrical, and where there was a sequence of rooms in a building, he would try to align the doors so you had a strong sense of where you had come from and were travelling to.
Judd regarded space as one of the elements of art least examined by artists, and colour as one of the aspects least explored by sculptors.

 "Journey Into Space"; Melody Maker, 1980
Still, the secondary affairs are undoubtedly oiling the turnover as Saturday afternoon dribbles into Saturday afternoon and T shirts, buttons, albums and booklets are eagerly consumed.
Journey's musicianship is quite strong, they'll probably knock the metal crowd at the Rainbow on its collective ear, but being pack leaders of a generally uninspired and unimaginative pack seems, to me at least, like a hollow sort of success.
I say as much to Carl Leighton-Pope, the band's European agent, also along for the ride, who says that the trouble with rock journalists is that they only ever review bands in terms of their own trivial likes and dislikes and are never able to look at a rock band for what it actually is.

The necessary use of bar codes also means that there is a lot of overhead in working even routine things such as deploying new food, clothing, or hygiene items or moving things around for one reason or another.
Of course the overhead is vital to being able to keep track of what is on station, know where it is, understand the resupply requirements and build the manifests for the Russian Progress supply vessels and the space shuttle flights.
We have a great team of folks on the ground who keep up on all of that and do a great job of meeting the logistics requirements for the long haul.

To gain a new perspective on space shuttle Discovery's ascent and gather additional imagery for the return to flight mission, NASA dispatched a pair of high-flying WB-57 aircraft equipped with sharp video cameras in their noses.
