...design and build a Mars-worthy spacecraft. Winged ships like the shuttle are clearly out--useless in the wispy Martian atmosphere and unreliable even close to home, as two shuttle disasters have shown. That means a return to something closer to the capsule model that served the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs so well. Boeing Aerospace has already been designing a podlike crew transfer vehicle to get astronauts to and from the space station and to take a little of the load off the shuttle. The design won a lot of backing in Congress and the space community after...
Mike C. Biaggi ’04, lead singer of the now defunct band, Biaggi, got more than he bargained for this weekend from a $50 lap dance in New York City. The ten-minute dance with Gemini segued into a two hour heart-to-heart during which the two shared their thoughts on life, love and proper lubrication techniques for chafe-free poll dancing.

"The bottom line is that it's really hard to do," says Ross Williamson, an analyst at Cap Gemini Ernst & Young. "The FDA [has] very onerous demands for trials." So does Europe. Last month, the European Parliament summoned Thomas Lönngren, executive director of the European Agency for Evaluation of Medical Products (emea), to ask why so few new drugs were being produced. The emea had just...
