	SPACE BURIAL FACTS AND INFORMATION
		Space burial is a burial procedure where a small sample of the cremated ashes of the deceased in a lipstick sized capsule are launched into space using a rocket.
		The second space burial was the burial of a sample of the remains of Dr. Eugene_Shoemaker on the moon by the Lunar_Prospector probe, launched on January_7th 1998 by a three-stage Athena rocket.
		Kelly's body was retrieved by the crew of the USS Voyager and buried in space circa stardate 53301.2 in 2376.

	Space Shuttle program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Space Shuttle consists of three main components: the reusable orbiter itself, a large expendable external fuel tank, and a pair of reusable solid-fuel booster rockets.
		In the two disasters, things went wrong so fast that little could be done, except that on the STS-51-L the SRBs which were still burning after being disconnected from the rest of the stack, were destroyed with on-board explosives designed for this emergency purpose (the Range Safety System) by remote command from NASA.
		One of the first fictional uses of the space shuttle was in the 1979 James Bond film, Moonraker, in which a fleet of privately-produced shuttles was used to ferry personnel to a space station operated by the evil Sir Hugo Drax.

	Space disaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Space disasters, either during operations or training, have killed around 20 astronauts and cosmonauts (5% of all people who have been in space), and a much larger number of ground crew.
		The history of space exploration has been marred by a number of tragedies that resulted in the deaths of the astronauts or ground crew.
		Adams was posthumously awarded astronaut wings as his flight had passed an altitude of 50 miles (80.5 km) (the U.S. definition of space); however, it can be disputed if the incident technically counts as a "spaceflight accident" given that the flight fell short of the internationally recognized 100 km boundary of space.

		Frank Poole, in 2001: A Space Odyssey, although he is revived by science in 3001: The Final Odyssey.
		The list of space disasters shows that 14 astronauts and 4 cosmonauts have perished in flight as of 2004; 3 bodies had a normal landing, one victim crashed into Earth, and 14 were in a crash in the atmosphere and thus must have burnt and vaporized.

	Article: Shadows of the Soviet Space Age, by Paul Lucas
		For military projects, with which the space program was inexorably intertwined, this was done in overlapping ten year increments, namely a five year planning stage followed by a five year implementation stage.
		However, this meant disaster for the mission, and for the first time ever a manned space mission had to be aborted during launch.
		Soviet space plans were massively restructured to meet this perceived threat, with the goal of full deployment of space-based weapon systems by the end of the millennium.

		Requests to adhere to the Charter may be made by any space system operator or space agency with access to space facilities which agrees to contribute to the commitments made by the parties under Article IV above and is willing to assume the responsibilities of a party under the terms of the Charter.

	Space Quotes to Ponder
		"The frontier in space, embodied in the space colony, is one in which the interactions between humans and their environment is so much more sensitive and interactive and less tolerant of irresponsibility than it is on the whole surface of the Earth.
		In the universe, space travel may be the normal birth pangs of an otherwise dying race.
		We cannot be indifferent to space, because the grand slow march of our intelligence has brought us, in our generation, to a point from which we can explore and understand and utilize it.

		It has been decided that on each mission the Orbiter must be inspected externally on orbit before reentry, a task which NASA has decided is too expensive to be done without the facilities of the ISS.
		Therefore, for example, further service missions to the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) are impossible, because the Orbiter is incapable of reaching both HST and ISS during the same mission.
		expendable launch vehicles, the Space Shuttle is manned and has no escape systems to speak of and therefore any accident which would result in the loss of booster would also result in the loss of the crew which is, of course, unacceptable.

	NASA Data Mining Reveals A New History Of Natural Disasters
		NASA is using satellite data to paint a detailed global picture of the interplay among natural disasters, human activities and the rise of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere during the past 20 years.
		According to a new scientific study that appears in the July issue of the journal Global Change Biology, scientists used satellite observations to estimate the amount of leafy cover worldwide and sudden decreases in 'greenness.' Greenness is a measure of the amount of chlorophyll in live plants.
		The Earth's land cover is so vast that much of it in the tropics and the tundra is inaccessible to regular ground observations there, according to the study's scientists.

		The theory of space exploration was well-established in the USSR before the Second World War by the writings of Konstantin Tsiolkovsky; but as with the American programme, it was founded on the advances made by Hermann Oberth and Werner von Braun in Germany during the war.
		In January 1956, plans were approved for Earth-orbiting satellites to gain knowledge of the space environment (Sputnik) and for unmanned military reconaissance satellites (Zenit), with development work for a manned earth orbiting flight by 1964 and a lunar mission at an earlier date.
		Unlike the American Space programme which had NASA as a coordinating structure the USSR's programme was hampered by there being competing design bureau lead by Korolev, Mikhail Yangle, Valentin Glushko and Vladimir Chelomei.

		The LLRVs, humorously referred to as flying bedsteads (see also Flying bedstead), were used by the FRC, now known as the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., to study and analyze piloting techniques needed to fly and land the Apollo Lunar Module in the moon's airless environment.
		Success of the two LLRVs led to the building of three Lunar Landing Training Vehicles (LLTVs) used by Apollo astronauts at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, Texas, predecessor of NASA's Johnson Space Center.
		Neil Armstrong, first human to step onto the moon's surface, said the mission would not have been successful without the type of simulation provided by the LLRVs and LLTVs.
