...fresh talk about a manned mission to Mars comes during what has been a heady few weeks for the long-struggling NASA. Earlier in the month, the Stardust spacecraft, launched in 1999, made an improbable flyby of Comet Wild-2, drawing in a breath of primordial dust to bring back to Earth for study. In the middle of last week, the Spirit rover--which bounced down on Mars at the beginning of the month--at last rolled off its landing ramp and onto the dry flats of Gusev Crater.

His partners will split another $400 million...
...golden years. And sure enough, Heathen is littered with spookily familiar echoes - of Space Oddity on Slip Away and Heroes on Slow Burn - that will put a smile of recognition on the face of 40-somethings everywhere. Cover versions of songs by The Pixies, Neil Young and The Legendary Stardust Cowboy sidestep nostalgia-creep but prove this is less a classic work, more a classy workout...
