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 according to new work by a researcher in Portugal...

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 will join the STS-116 crew for an important space... View More (2002-02-27)
Starry-eyed Hubble celebrates 20 Years of awe and discovery
The best recognised, longest-lived and most prolific space observatory zooms past a milestone of 20 years of operation. On 24 April 1990, the Space Shuttle and crew of STS-31 were launched to deploy the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope into a low-Earth orbit. What followed was one of the most remarkable sagas of the space age. View More (2010-04-26)

Goooal! New study shows goalie may influence direction of penalty kick in soccer
A penalty kick places a goalkeeper at such a disadvantage that only approximately 18% of penalty kicks are saved. However, some soccer fans think goalkeepers might save penalty kicks more easily by standing marginally to the left or right. View More (2007-03-02)
Gardens in space
A model of a system for growing plants to plan biological experiments in space has just left the company of ROVSING, in Ballerup near Copenhagen, on its way to ESA's European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in the Netherlands. The full name of this experiment reference model is European Modular Cultivation System Experiment Reference Model (EMCS ERM). This will be used at ESTEC to... View More (2002-05-13)
