Keeping Alien Samples Safe For Study
Metrollica writes: "Space.com features an article describing NASA's plans to prepare the Johnson Space Center that could one day house extraterrestrial life." An excerpt from the article: "It's human nature to clean for company more thoroughly than one would for oneself, but nowhere is this truth taken to greater extremes than at the Johnson Space Center. NASA's setting new standards of cleanliness in its labs that handle samples returning from space. And their efforts are laying the groundwork for samples that might some day contain evidence of extraterrestrial life from Mars, Europa, and other points little known."

Don't Get Caught
Farscape is a continuing series on the Sci Fi Channel. Currently on the third series. It revolves around the story of John Crichton an astronaut who while testing a vehicle, designed to use the gravity well as propulsion, accidentally gets tossed into a wormhole.
Ok while the story is really good and all, THEY DON"T HAVE ANY BLOODY NEW EPS! Then next new ep, is supposed to air sometime in april. relevent links: Official Web Site
I've got Dish Network (which really sucks; I've had nothing but trouble with it, and the compression artifacts are awful), and get both Comedy Central and Sci-Fi.
Back when I used to have Cable America (again, very awful; why do I keep getting stuck with shitty providers? Qwest.net for shitty 'net access, Cable America for shitty cable television, and now Dish Network for shitty satelite television), I got both Comedy Central and Sci-Fi.
You just have to be careful as to what package you sign up for. For both cable TV and satellite I had to sign up for something above the "basic" package to get all the channels I wanted. Despite getting hundreds of channels, there is still almost nothing worth watching on, and I still hate television for the most part (and I almost always miss the shows that are actually worth seeing).
That would be Chiana if you're into sex with aliens who don't look like us, or Aeyrn if you're into sex with aliens who do look like us.

Alternate link to story on Yahoo! News. The Yahoo site has the text of the story, but not any images of the room. I should have included that link when I submitted the story.
