	Space A -- Recommendations and Resources (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		One view of space is that it is part of the fundamental structure of the universe, a set of dimensions in which objects are separated and located, have size and shape, and through which they can move.
		A contrasting view is that space is part of a fundamental abstract mathematical conceptual framework (together with time and number) within which we compare and quantify the distance between objects, their sizes, their shapes, and their speeds.
		Space is typically described as having three dimensions, and that three numbers are needed to specify the size of any object and/or its location with respect to another location.

	Known Space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Known Space is the fictional setting of several science fiction novels and short stories written by author Larry Niven.
		One aspect of the Known Space universe is that most of the planets colonized by humans are suboptimal for Homo sapiens.
		Agents of the ARM are commonly known as Schizes, due to the artificially induced state of paranoid schizophrenia they are kept in to enhance their usefulness as law enforcment officials in a society that keeps most of its populace docile and naive through the aforementioned science of psychistry (see Madness Has Its Place).

		Korabl-Sputnik-5, also known as Sputnik 10 was launched on March 25, 1961 and carried the dog Zvezdochka (Little Star) and a dummy cosmonaut — a wooden mannequin — on a one orbit mission.
		Whichever, it was the first cat in space as the capsule in the rocket's nose cone separated at 120 miles altitude and descended by parachute.
		It is lofted to space by a Soyuz rocket from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northern Russia.

	Space Worrt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Space worrts follow the camouflaged tactics of their desert cousins and were difficult to spot at first (Weesh's last mistake).
		Space worrt digestive acids ignore the first 5 points of DR on an inanimate object.
		Or perhaps the discovery of space worrts is just a precursor to a wave of worrts that will soon spread throughout the galaxy's asteroid belts and clusters.

	Promise of Science: Space Travel
		Although the enabling technology for manned space flight was not developed and put to use until 1961, science fiction film was actively visualizing space travel from its very beginnings.
		In Voyage dans la Lune (1902, France), a group of adventurers build a great space gun and are shot to the moon in a hard-cased shell that strongly resembles a rocket.
		Space travel is not the central event of this film, as it is in previous films.

	Inside the little known Malindi space centre
		The initial reaction by journalists as they toured the facility was not the technological marvel, but that so little is known in Kenya about an installation that ushers one from a remote beach village in Malindi into the first world of space science.
		According to Luigi de Magistris, the Director of the Space Centre and a space engineer, Dr Antonio de Micco, the San Marco Project is an advanced space station that uses the latest technology.
		Like all space installations in the world, it is accorded the security of a military facility due to the sensitive equipment and work conducted there.

	How Known Space Might Be Derailed
		Known Space's very inevitability tells against it since so many groups will likely be able to see its importance after just a few more steps of development of their various products.
		Known Space may be supplanted by freeware versions that make it less viable as a commercial product.
		Known Space puts some automation between the user and the searching task and that, however it is to be realized, seems inevitable.

		The globular cluster M4, left, and a blowup of one region showing the fairly dim white dwarf companion to the neutron star, which is not visible.
		Recent Hubble Space Telescope observations allowed Sigurdsson and his colleagues to devise a remarkable tale of the planet's presumed journey.
		About two or three billion years ago, as the yellow star and its planet were plunging into the crowded core of M4, they passed near a collapsed, dense and dying neutron star, an object that resulted from some previous explosion of a very massive star.

	The Space Review: The billion-dollar space pen
		Space has its urban legends of course, and the Million Dollar Space Pen is one of the more enduring ones.
		The flight earned a bit of notoriety soon after it ended when the astronauts were at a press conference and were asked about a “contraband” baloney sandwich (some sources claim it was a roast beef sandwich) that Young had carried aboard the flight in lieu of the officially approved food that they had been provided.
		What various documents about the Space Pen demonstrate is that NASA did not develop the Space Pen and initially did not even purchase it.

	SPACE.com -- Tally of Asteroids Harboring Moons Grows Beyond 30
		A newfound asteroid companion brings the total number of known space-rock pairs to 31 and further illustrates that no matter where you go in the solar system, it takes two (or more, maybe) to tango.
		The new object orbits a known asteroid, 121 Hermione, which is an irregularly shaped giant boulder with an average diameter of about 130 miles (209 kilometers).
		The new pair is the ninth known to populate the main Asteroid Belt, Merline said.

		Once citizens of Earnon, the Sariens were banished long ago for their warlike ways (one would think they would have gotten over it by now, but apparently they still hold a grudge).

	Space could be Chinese by the year 2050, experts say
		A space program could suddenly gain speed, once the will is there, not least because much more is known about space and man's prospects of surviving in it than in the 1960s.
		China's immediate objective after Shenzhou V is likely to be an attempted space walk as well as experiments with space rendezvous.
		For the medium-term, China is likely to aim for a space station in 2008, and, in close contest with India, an unmanned mission to the Moon the same year.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Special reports \| US ready to put weapons in space
		Plans for a 'thin constellation of three to six spacecraft' in orbit, which would target enemy missiles as they took off or landed, are planned, according to Hitchens.
		The document, said Hitchens, signals that the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, which outlaws the use of weapons in orbit, will be ignored.
		Participation in the missile defence programme means that Britain is already 'locked into' a programme that could ultimately include space warfare, say those who are monitoring developments.

		Assembling 500 kW solar arrays, with booms that are fabricated on site, in space, would be one other type of work live humans might oversee better automated than machines.

		The planet lies at the core of the ancient globular star cluster M4, located 5600 light-years away in the constellation of Scorpius, the US space agency NASA said.
		Astronomers estimate it was formed 13 billion-years-ago — long before the Earth or its sun existed — and has a mass about 2.5 times the mass of Jupiter.
