...risk of falling behind. If you look at the level of sophistication of U.S. technology involved in space I think it is still really outstanding. However, what is true is that there is a short-term problem looming, associated with what I'll call, broadly, access to space, where the US is at significant risk of having little to no access to space for a few years, thanks to anti-terrorism agreements and the fact that we may not have the shuttle.

Defense lawyer Daniele Stoppello has demanded access to the footage, even as he conceded that since the lighting was poor, the carabinieri could arrive at a "different interpretation" of what the camera showed the two men doing. Currently it's a moot point, since the prosecuting magistrate has ruled the footage as too "complex" to be judicially...
