MUST-SEE VIDEO: On Jan. 15th when the Stardust capsule ripped through
Earth's atmosphere en route to a parachute landing in Utah, no one had a
better view than scientists onboard NASA's DC-8 Airborne Laboratory, and
they recorded a spectacular video. In addition to the man-made fireball
(Stardust) there are at least two natural meteors in the video. See them all

SUITSAT:  On February 3rd, astronauts plan to hurl an old spacesuit
overboard from the International Space Station.  The disembodied suit,
nicknamed "SuitSat," will proceed to circle Earth, transmitting a radio
message which anyone can hear using a police scanner or a ham radio tuned to
145.990 MHz FM.  This strange experiment is a test of a sensible idea--that
old spacesuits might be transformed into useful satellites. Would you like

about to orbit over your area.
