NASA's Game Plan for Solar-System Exploration
Planetary exploration at a crossroads. On one hand, right now the pace of discovery is head-spinningly rapid. Robotic explorers are orbiting Venus, Mars, Saturn, and the Moon, with another days away from arriving at Mercury. Spacecraft heading to solar-system destinations near and far are queued for launch later this year. It's a great time to be a planetary scientist.
The black line shows the rosy budget projection for NASA's solar-system explorations, and colored wedges indicate the funds needed for specific projects. However, in the fiscal year 2012 budget submitted to Congress by the Obama administration,...

Turning hardware acceleration on in Chrome 9, 10 and 11 (stable, beta and canary) is easy, and it can significantly speed up surfing on low-powered devices, like laptops -- or if you're the kind of person who has 30+ tabs open on your desktop...

NASA found Evidence of alien life
WE are not alone and alien life forms may have more in common with life on Earth than we had thought, according to a NASA scientist. The out-of-this-world research by Dr Richard B. Hoover, an astrobiologist with NASA's Marshall Space Flight Centre, was published in the March edition of the Journal of Cosmology.
In the report, Dr Hoover describes the latest findings in his study of an extremely rare class of meteorites, called CI1 carbonaceous chondrites - only nine such meteorites were known to exist on Earth.
The scientist was convinced that his findings revealed fossil evidence of bacterial life within such meteorites...
