Here's an interesting little item that kind of brings the Final Frontier .... well, back to earth. It's about .... The SPACE BATHROOM! http://www.space.com/common/media/video/player.php?videoRef=SP_090303_expedition18 - Think about it - on Star Trek, Star Wars, Space 1999, StarGate, Dune, Alien (you get the idea) - no one talks about the Space Bathroom.
With the exception of Commander Data who has an excuse, what's the deal. Can you imagine Captain Kirk exiting the commode in 10 Forward and saying to Sulu - "Don't go in there.." - well, maybe not Sulu - but you know what I mean. I think in one episode you see Kirk bare-topped with a towel over his shoulder (I think it's The Enemy Within - someone confirm?).
Anyway - not that this is something I would recommend, but picture Spock, Uhura, Janeway, Picard or Counselor Troi - sitting on the Bowl. What do you see them doing?
Okay - maybe just settle for clicking the above link and suspending disbelief for now!

Space Station Evacuated
Just as a mission was launched???
What's up with that?
"Talk about scary close calls: The crew of the International Space Station briefly evacuated their floating home today to avoid the possibility of space debris hitting the craft. The move was just a precaution, but it did mobilize the crew to enter the Soyuz capsule. The debris may have been an old motor from the station itself."
Evacuate to where?
It just goes to show - the men and women doing this job have some brass you know whats.

New Trailer (3) for the Star Trek Movie
Is absolutely awesome. When talking to one of my best friends about it, I asked, who's this guy (referring to the alien or bad guy) thinking it was like Nemesis. But by the end of the trailer the consensus was - WHO CARES! It's Kirk, Spock, and the crew - and we get to start it all over again!

To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before
Well, it's finally happened.
No, not Trekkiemobile - although we've all been waiting for that too. But our search for alien life has begun, finally, in earnest.
NASA has launched a spacecraft with a mission to help determine something that has been the theme for many Hollywood movies over the years: whether Earth-like planets might exist elsewhere in space.

NASA has launched a spacecraft with a mission to help determine something that has been the theme for many Hollywood movies over the years: whether Earth-like planets might exist elsewhere in space.
The 15-foot tall, 2,320-pound Kepler satellite lifted off yesterday at 10:50 p.m. Eastern time atop a Delta II rocket from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida for a three-and- a-half-year mission to find other planets that may support life, according to a NASA statement distributed by PR Newswire.
