On the possibility that life could have been seeded by asteroids.

NASA is still hoping for Spirit to answer back as the Martian winter lifts.  Let's cross our fingers!

Astronaut set to lead the space walks on mission STS-133 to the space station has broken his hip while on a Bicycle.  NASA appoints new lead.

The lunar interior appears to be more complicated than previously thought.  Perhaps there's a liquid core after all.

Thanks to all who came.  Lianne and Paul will be leading next week's discussion!
