	Spaceflight Now
		The Hubble Space Telescope has found out the true nature of a dwarf galaxy that astronomers had for a long time identified as one of the youngest galaxies in the Universe.
		The intrepid never-say-die space telescope known as FUSE has finally reached its mission's end and will be turned off after more than eight years of discoveries on everything from planets and nearby stars to galaxies and quasars billions of light-years away.
		The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a spectacular image of NGC 3603, a giant nebula hosting one of the most prominent massive young clusters in the Milky Way, thus supplying a prime template for star formation studies.

		Tentative manned space flight priorities were established by the Research Steering Committee: Project Mercury, ballistic probes, environmental satellite, maneuverable manned satellite, manned space flight laboratory, lunar reconnaissance satellite, lunar landing, Mars Venus reconnaissance, and Mars-Venus landing.
		In it, a U.S. manned landing on the moon in 1965 was proposed, to be followed in 1966 by an operational lunar outpost.
		Space Task Group personnel felt that even the 128 decibels were too high for pilot comfort, and extensive research toward the resolution of this matter was started.

		Space Exploration is the science and engineering of spacecraft and space probes used for investigation of physical conditions in space and in celestial bodies - e.g.
		Space exploration, or astronautics, is interdisciplinary in that it draws upon the findings of such fields as physics, astronomy, mathematics, chemistry, biology, medicine, electronics, and meteorology.
		The Space Shuttle is a reusable rocket-launched vehicle designed to transport people and cargo between Earth and orbiting spacecraft, and then to return to the Earth's surface by gliding down and landing on a runway.

	Scaled.com SpaceShipOne - Historic Space Launch Attempt Scheduled for June 21
		Sub-orbital space flight refers to a mission that flies out of the atmosphere but does not reach the speeds needed to sustain continuous orbiting of the earth.
		The pilot (to be announced at a later date) of the up-coming June sub-orbital space flight will become the first person to earn astronaut wings in a non-government sponsored vehicle, and the first private civilian to fly a spaceship out of the atmosphere.
		Unlike any previous manned space mission, the June flight will allow the public to view, up close, the takeoff and landing as well as the overhead rocket boost to space.

		Traditionally, these endeavours have been referred to as manned space missions, although today some prefer to use the term crewed or piloted space missions because they consider manned to be sexist, though it only denotes gender in one of several definitions of the word.
		The term manned is, however, accurate in terms of gender when speaking of all U.S. spaceflight programs before the Space Shuttle program and Soviet spaceflights before Vostok 6.

		Yet, three years later, the Russian astronaut Yuri Gagarin became the first man to be sent in space and orbit the earth while John Glenn had to wait until 1962 to be the first American sent onboard a satellite.
		In April 1981, the launch of the Space Shuttle Columbia ushered in a period of reliance on the reusable shuttle for most civilian and military space missions.
		America lost its 'national' interest in space exploration and the costs generated by the NASA began to be seriously questioned.

		Candidates for manned spaceflight are carefully screened to meet the highest physical and mental standards, and they undergo rigorous training.
		In addition to flight training, astronauts are required to have thorough knowledge of all aspects of space science, such as celestial mechanics and rocketry.
		Manned spaceflight began on Apr. 8, 1961, when the Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin orbited the earth.

	CNN.com - China edges closer to manned space flight - Nov. 13, 2002
		The Shenzhou space capsule is thought to be capable of carrying either three or four crew.
		China's space program is surrounded by tight secrecy, largely because of its close connections with the military.
		Officials say development work on the manned space flight project began in 1999, although the current Shenzhou program only came to light in late 1999, with the launch of the first test vehicle.

	China plans a manned space flight
		The Shenzhou V capsule carrying at least one of the country's astronauts -- dubbed taikonauts after the Chinese word for space -- is to be launched in the second half of 2003, according to the official China News Service.
		Beijing has nurtured the dream of manned space flight since at least the early 1970s, when the beginnings of a program were scrapped amid the upheaval of the 1966-76 Cultural Revolution.
		Space officials also have said they will identify the first taikonauts before that flight.

		As a central shift of intravascular volume may occur in space, a clear understanding of the regulation of important vasoactive and natriuretic compounds and their effects in simulated and real microgravity conditions would be important to the understanding of volume and vascular tone control in space.

		Other issues involved in "space" ultrasound is whether a short training period is sufficient for the space crew to perform and accurately diagnose in real-time, complexities of transmitting the obtained sonographic image to experts on the ground, and problems related to telesonography, the transmission and receipt of images from outer space.

	Chinese celebrate the return of second manned space flight - The Boston Globe
		BEIJING -- The Chinese celebrated the successful landing yesterday of a second manned space flight, a feat that the country's second-ranking leader, Li Guoqiang, declared a victory for the Communist Party and a boost to the country's status as a space power.
		The predawn landing of the Shenzhou 6 capsule on the country's northern grasslands was shown live on television, as part of an effort meant to rouse support for the governing party.
		Fei and Nie blasted off last Wednesday from a base in China's desert northwest, almost exactly two years after the first Chinese manned space flight made this only the third country to send a human into orbit on its own.
