Life hitching a ride to Earth: Bugs could travel to Earth in comfort aboard Martian meteorites
FOR the first time, millions of bacterial spores have been purposely exposed to outer space, to see how they are affected by solar radiation. The results support the idea that life could have arrived on Earth in the form of bacteria carried from Mars on meteorites. The idea that life started... view more... (2002-01-09)

Warp drive a no go
Sci-fi experts know that many seemingly impossible technologies materialise years later, but unfortunately this may not to be the case for warp-drive - travelling through space faster than the speed of light. The favourite science fiction theory of space contracting in front of spacecraft, and expanding behind it to form warp-drive is under threat... view more... (2002-03-05)
First Swedish astronaut to fly to International Space Station in 2003
European Space Agency astronaut Christer Fuglesang will fly on a Space Shuttle mission to the International Space Station in spring 2003. During that flight, he will conduct three Extra Vehicular Activities (EVAs) or `spacewalks` to attach new hardware to the Space Station. He will become the first Swede to travel and walk in space. Fuglesang... view more... (2002-02-27)
