Sure, hitting Boston's tech museums may not be quite as much fun as beachcombing on Cape Ann. If you haven't visited the Computer Museum or the Museum of Science, though, you owe yourself a trip...
...CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla: Spare a thought for Michael Foale. The British-born NASA Astronaut spent four-and-a-half months on Mir during the station's most critical moments; now he can't even get home. Poor weather, gusty wind and intense cloud-cover over Florida frustrated the Shuttle Atlantis' attempts to return Foale to Earth Sunday. NASA instructed the seven-member shuttle crew to stay aloft an extra day and try to land at Kennedy Space Center in Florida late Monday.

It would make us an unreliable space partner...
...CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.: Place your bets, please: will NASA Astronaut David Wolf fly aboard the Shuttle Atlantis Thursday on a Mir-bound mission? Not if Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner Jr. has his way. The House Science Committee chairman has been against sending any more boys up that way since June's collision between the Spektr module and a cargo ship, and wants to protect Wolf from becoming "an assistant Mr. Fix-It" aboard the embattled Russian station. That Wolf himself is quite keen to go appears to be beside the point...
