Mars Mission The roving lab is aiming to land inside a 150km-wide bowl called Gale Crater. It will use its sophisticated instruments to assess whether the location has ever had the conditions capable of supporting life.

Orbit AppletAdditional Notes: the orbits shown in the applet are color coded. The planets are white lines, and the asteroid/comet is a blue line. The bright white line indicates the portion of the orbit that is above the ecliptic plane, and the darker portion is below the ecliptic plane. Likewise for the asteroid/comet orbit, the light blue indicates the portion above the ecliptic plane, and the dark blue the portion below the ecliptic plane.

Artificial Intelligence Test Turing was one of the 20th century’s great mathematicians, a conceptual architect of modern computing whose codebreaking played a decisive part in World War II. His test, described in a seminal dawn-of-the-computer-age paper, was deceptively simple: If a machine could pass for human in conversation, the machine could be considered intelligent.

Forging ahead"We're not talking about repeating what mankind achieved 40 years ago," said Vladimir Popovkin, head of Russian space agency Roscosmos, at Tuesday's Global Space Exploration Conference in Washington, D.C. "We're talking about establishing permanent bases." Occupy Wall Street? No, no, no, this is a different form of occupation.

Linking up in Space __________________________________ "This event isn't just a simple door opening between two spacecraft—it opens the door to a future in which U.S. industry can and will deliver huge benefits for U.S. space exploration," the Space Frontier Foundation, an advocacy group, said in a statement. The California-based Space Exploration Technologies Corp.—is the first private company to send a vessel to the space station. It is run by Elon Musk, a billionaire who helped create PayPal and founded the electric car company Tesla Motors Inc. TSLA -1.68% _____________________________

Water on Moon A Soviet team analysed the sample and found unambiguous signs of water in the rock--they reported that water made up 0.1 per cent of the sample's mass. In 1978, they published the result in the Russian journal Geokhimiia. This journal also has an in English language version but it was not widely read in the West. Crott says that today the work has been almost entirely forgotten. "No other author has ever cited the Luna 24 work," he says.

10 Year Old Scientist +++++++++++++++++ You cracked a puzzle about the structure of strange crystals called approximants that had gone unsolved for eight years. Tell us more. Sven: Approximants are related to quasicrystals, which are ordered atomic structures but with symmetries that were believed to be impossible – for example, 5-fold symmetry. The approximants we studied have 5-fold and 10-fold symmetry. +++++++++++++++++

Mars Explanation: Next week at this time, there may be an amazing new robotic explorer on Mars. Or there may be a new pile of junk. It all likely depends on many things going correctly in the minutes after the Mars Science Laboratory mission arrives at Mars and attempts to deploy the Curiosity rover from orbit. Arguably the most sophisticated landing yet attempted on the red planet, consecutive precision events will involve a heat shield, a parachute, several rocket maneuvers, and the automatic operation of an unusual device called a Sky Crane. These "Seven Minutes of Terror" -- depicted in the above dramatic video -- will begin on Monday, August 6 at about 5:24 am Universal time, which occurs on Sunday night, August 5 for western North Americans. If successful, the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File  IA15279_3rovers-stand_D2011_1215_D521.jpg]car-sized Curiosity rover[/url] will rest [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FileIA14294_Sumner1_curiosity_landing_site.jpg]on the surface[/url] of Mars, soon to begin exploring Gale Crater to better determine the habitability of this seemingly barren world to life -- past, present, and future. Although multiple media outlets may cover this event, one way to watch these landing events unfold is on the NASA channel live on the web. Private?
