...supplies of petroleum become scarcer and more costly, the notion of hydrogen-powered cars becomes more appealing. Hydrogen provides a tremendous boom for its bang: burning hydrogen releases more energy per pound of fuel than any other material on earth. Spurred by the key invention of the fuel cell, which allows for a controlled consumption instead of a rocket-launching burn, automobile manufacturers have developed concepts for hydrogen-powered cars, touting their vehicles as the future of transportation. Last week, for instance, General Motors announced that it will place 100 hydrogen-fueled cars on the road next year, with...
Flotsam and jetsam in Earth orbit, most of it the residue from old satellite explosions, is so profuse that former astronaut John Glenn, on observing the sun glinting off the pieces, once likened it to flying through a cloud of lightning bugs. But given NASA's heightened safety awareness since the 2003 loss of Space Shuttle Columbia, one piece of debris - caught on video and measuring just 2 inches by 5 inches - was enough to cause another high-profile hitch in a series of operational setbacks for Space Shuttle Atlantis...
...beginning could not be true because light comes from stars, which could not have been created after light was. Now your article has shown how it could be true.

...purpose, and uses a mere 1.1 gallons of water per dose. Furthermore, the green toilet handles are, according to the new placards, bacteria resistant, so there’s no need to flush with your foot. And at only $15 a pot, it’s not just Mother Earth that will save a little green, Harvard will, too, in long-term water costs. There may be one disadvantage to the new handles, though. Different flushes mean different noises, and in the cozy river Houses, the whole suite might know the exact nature of your business. But if this...
Ride a bull for a living, and you can be the richest rag doll on earth. All you have to do is last eight excruciating seconds on an agitated 1,800-lb. animal that would like nothing more than to smash you against the sideboards of the arena, fling you off its back and gore you with its horns. On the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) tour, concussions and broken bones are as common as Wranglers and brass-buckled belts. "Most bull riders are what you call gristleheads," says Mike Lee, 23, who has won $2 million in five years...
