  1. More likely to be .mars.sol on The Dot in .mars · · Score: 1

    If you want more technical data on the InterPlanetary Internet then check out the IPN section on SpaceRef. I might also point out that TLD will most likely be linked into .sol. ICANN which is now headed by Vint Cerf will not be creating the .mars TLD anytime soon. I have that on a very reliable source. You can look for the first test in space of the IPN this summer. As well the IPN will be used on the 2003 Mars twin rover mission.

  2. Remember through pictures on The Challenger · · Score: 1

    I watched that launch. I was 22. I was a space enthusiast now turned space professional. The space program has always and will continue to inpsire me. To remember that day I am featuring a gallery of 228 pictures on SpaceRef. From crew training to the memorial, it's all there. The pictures say it all.

  3. Earth's First Self-Financed Astronaut on Tito Good To Go, Rotary Spirals Downward · · Score: 4

    Tito recently provided SpaceRef with an in-depth interview which makes for good reading.

  4. Not so fast, it ain't over till the fat lady sings on At Last, Mir to be Ditched · · Score: 1
    SpaceRef has a story that says although it has been decided that MIR is slated to deorbit that all attempts to keep it up are not done. Since MIR has at least 9 lives, could it be that it may live a while longer?

  5. The original submission on Planets Without Stars · · Score: 1
    I submitted this 2 days ago when it was breaking news. For the orginal story click here and if you are interested in wireless alerts on breaking space news try SpaceRef's wireless service.

  6. It's all a game, a high stakes game about money on Mir Likely To Be Deorbited [Updated] · · Score: 1
    What this boils down to is that Energia needs a cash infusion. MirCorp's NBC deal does not provide them with any money up front. So MirCorp while it may have lots of hype surrounding it right now is short on cash which it must provide to Energia. The Russians are saying put up or shut up. Cash talks otherwise this station comes down. MirCorp has less then two weeks to come up with the cash or MIR will be finished.
