...contraption, I was intrigued. Like VCR/DVD combos and camera-docking printers, it's an innovation designed not for early adopters but for late adopters. The stereo comes with a tiny 128MB MP3 player that connects at the top. Pop in a CD (or five), press Record and the songs load themselves onto the portable player as you listen to them...
Most of the debris came from a nettlesome area of the tank known as the protuberance air load (PAL) ramp, a ridge designed to minimize turbulence around cables and fuel lines. Tests and earlier flights convinced NASA that the PAL could withstand lift-off. "Obviously," says flight operations manager John Shannon, "we were wrong...
Should NASA even bother with these finicky ships? It costs half a billion dollars every time a shuttle flies, and one major purpose this time was to transport 15 tons of supplies to the space station and off-load 13 tons of trash. A half-billion-dollar rubbish run is not, critics say, the best way to spend scarce space resources. What's more, given the ships' limited range, they won't play a part in future missions to the moon or Mars. Indeed, as long as the shuttle and station continue to consume about 40% of NASA's budget...
...pretty ordinary. I eat calamari, tuna, pineapple pizza, and tomatoes. Lots of my friends would shy away from these, but I enjoy them. Some things that set me apart from the crowd are that I don't like a lot of rap, I listen to a load of oldies, I'm smart but well liked by most, I'm not artistic, I'm not great at sports, but I can do a little of both.

That's the lowest priced pair of the cheaper iZon Digital sunglasses (available at izonstore.com), which lack Oakley's reputation for eyewear but nevertheless have a decent-sounding integrated MP3 player that's just as easy to load up on your PC. Instead of adjustable ear phones, the iZon has standard earbuds dangling from short wires, but at a distance the two pairs of sunglasses are practically indistinguishable...
