NASA astronauts return to ISS after spacewalk

MOSCOW. June 4 (Interfax-AVN) - U.S. astronauts Michael Fossum and Ronald Garan have finished their spacewalk and returned to the airlock compartment of the International Space Station (ISS). "While outside the station the US. Astronauts assembled the Japanese module Kibo on the left side of the U.S. module Harmony, checked the air tightness of the docking, hooked the cooling and electricity systems of the two modules and installed and tested roller bearings in the turning mechanism of a solar panel," Russian Mission Control told Interfax-AVN. On Wednesday, both astronauts will start preparing for a second spacewalk, set for Thursday. And a third spacewalk for them is scheduled for Sunday. The ISS crew comprises Russian cosmonauts Sergei Volkov and Oleg Konenenko, and Gregory Chamitoff, who replaced Garret Reisman as a member of the missi

Discovery astronauts install Japanese module

Two NASA astronauts have installed a Japanese module on the International Space Station. They used a nearly seven-hour spacewalk to attach the bus-sized laboratory, Kibo, which means 'hope', to the ISS. The new unit is now the biggest room on the space station. The two astronauts also retrieved a shuttle inspection tool, and inspected solar components. The space shuttle Discovery arrived on Monday for a scheduled 14-day mission, during which three spacewalks are planned.

The Effects of Censorship — a Tale of Two Websites

An anonymous reader writes "Two message boards devoted to the same topic have each been on-line for roughly eight years. One is censored, and the other is not. The two forums are virtually the only ones devoted to their topic (polygraph testing, a fairly arcane one), so they're in "competition" only with each other. The result? The uncensored forum has more than six times as many posts as the censored one." To be fair, there are a few other differences between the two forums, but the point may still be valid.

Cassini's Primary Mission Ends, Two-Year Extension Begins

wooferhound points out recent news that the Cassini probe has completed its original four-year mission and is beginning a two-year extended mission, which was authorized earlier this year. Cassini's first mission brought us a treasure trove of information about Saturn and its various moons. The new mission will target two of those moons in particular for further study: Titan and Enceladus. Quoting: "The spacecraft is extremely healthy and carries 12 instruments powered by three radioisotope thermoelectric generators. Data from Cassini's nominal and extended missions could lay the groundwork for possible future missions to Saturn, Titan or Enceladus. [The two moons] are primary targets in the two-year extended mission, dubbed the Cassini Equinox Mission.

Electronic Arts further extends tender offer for Take-Two

(RTTNews) - Video game maker Electronic Arts Inc. (ERTS) said Monday morning that it has extended its tender offer to acquire all the outstanding common shares of rival Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (TTWO) until June 16, 2008. The extension of the tender offer by the company for the third time comes even as shares of Take-Two trade higher than the offer price and the number of Take-Two shares tendered to the offer has declined. In response to Electronic Arts' announcement, Take-Two said that the recommendation of its board of directors to stockholders not to tender their shares to the offer remains unchanged. Take-Two, the publisher of the "Grand Theft Auto" series, has been resisting the hostile $2 billion buyout.

The Family Gamer: Dad's Edition

Dads are a tricky subject. Some are loving and inspiring whilst others absent and off hand. Some are communicative and open, whilst others are as hard to fathom as the depths of Loch Ness. Some are in touch with their creativity and at ease with their feminine side, whilst others are purely manly. Although the people I've got to know through Family Gamer talk about their dads in different ways, they all seem to agree that they make up a big part of what it is to be a family.

N64 Day 5/6 - OoT VS MM - Complete!

After two solid days of Zelda gaming, N-Europe is as confused as ever as to which title brings the greatest gaming to the fore. We personally feel that the two titles are just too different to compare. It's like comparing Mario 64 to Paper Mario, both feature jumping but that's about it. What we DO know is that it created a divide. Many loved Majora for it's brashness, fresh direction and dark tone whilst others loved OoT for its innovation, immense world and breaking the mould mantra. Whatever the result we've thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and so we are going to wuss out and say each title cannot ever be pitted against each other. They are both fabulous titles in their own right. But both are very different beings indeed!

Are Academic Journals Obsolete?

Writing "Surely there is a better way," eggy78 asks "With the ability to get information anywhere in the world in seconds, and the virtually immediate obsolescence of any printed work, why are journals such an important part of academic research? Many of these journals take two or more years to print an article after it has been submitted, and the information is very difficult (or expensive) to obtain. Does this hinder technological advancement? There are certainly other venues for peer review, so why journals? What do they offer our society? Are they just a way to evaluate the productivity of professors?"

Astronauts wind up ISS mission

Two Astronauts from the space shuttle Discovery have completed their final spacewalk mission on the International Space Station.

Take-Two urges EA to give up

How Repairs Are Made On Closed Source Software and the Arguments for An Open Source Alternative

Software developers and programmers are bound by convention and capitalism. Some of the software that they design isn’t free, so the patches and fixes that they provide are distributed in small executables that can’t be read by likeminded technophiles. This is unfortunate for a number of reasons. Firstly, the fact that the clever authors of these programs hide their source code from the public means that independent developers are prevented from providing ad hoc patches of their own. An independent software designer (and there are many out there) may have a glaringly obvious solution to a problem that the proprietors of the software have spent weeks scratching their heads over.

Space Station Astronauts Could Get Stranded in Kibo

This could be a bit of a tricky (and amusing) situation for astronauts on board the International Space Station (ISS). Space Shuttle Discovery astronaut Mark Kelly mentioned a minor technicality with the new Kibo laboratory during an in flight interview last Friday: It might be too spacious. Surely this is a good thing right? It is, and it isn't. On the one hand the lab provides a large volume for four astronauts to work in comfortably, but on the other hand, if you get stuck in the middle, you may not be able to reach the sides. This could result in a rather frustrating situation where one of the astronauts may become "stranded" in zero-G…
