...excellence is the Hayabusa space probe. 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...

On songs like Here and Summer Babe, the rhythm section lays down pulsating grooves as saxman Carter uncovers the bluesy tunefulness buried beneath Pavement's trademark static. The result...
