Despite these achievements, the last 30 years have seen a paucity of achievements in space exploration. As Astronaut Buzz Aldrin has said, “History will remember the inhabitants of the last century as the people who went from Kitty Hawk to the Moon in 66 years, only to languish for the next 30 in low Earth orbit.” This slowdown can be attributed to the fact that NASA’s funding has been cut repeatedly, and ambitious programs have been scrapped for more cost-effective and passive endeavors...
...David Duchovny practices Kundalini yoga; Julia Louis-Dreyfuss prefers Ashtanga. Sabrina the Teenage Witch stars Melissa Joan Hart and Soleil Moon Frye throw yoga parties. Jane Fonda cut out aerobics for it; Angelina Jolie buffed up for Tomb Raider with it. The newly clean Charlie Sheen used yoga and dieting to shed 30 lbs.

...world's first spacecraft to fly powered by direct solar radiation [SCIENCE, March 5], noted that the idea goes back many years but failed to mention the contribution of science-fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke. Back in 1964, he published a short story about an international race to the moon via "sun yacht." In The Wind from the Sun, Clarke detailed the competitors' various sail designs and their resultant difficulties in tacking to keep the sails facing the sun while making one orbit around the earth to gain escape velocity for breaking away and heading out to the moon.
