Harvard students will descend upon Yale for the Harvard-Yale football game in a number of ways this weekend—by shuttle, by car, and even by stretch Cadillac Escalade.

Launched in May 2003, the robotic craft reached a 300 m by 700 m asteroid called Itokawa last month and set about mapping it. The mission calls for the probe to descend to the surface of this small asteroid next month and remove rock samples before starting the 2.5-year journey home. If successful, the Hayabusa mission will mark the first time material has been recovered from an asteroid in space and returned to Earth...
