...ROBINSON IN ANY DANGER DURING HIS SPACEWALK? No spacewalk is remotely risk-free. Space suits could be damaged by tools; equipment could malfunction; there?s even the risk of being struck by mictometeors or bits of space debris. But NASA astronauts have been venturing outside of their ships for more than four decades and all of them have come safely back inside...
...Muslim community of some real troublemakers and ultimately help young and mainstream Muslims. Rob Keshav Overland Park, Kansas, U.S. I couldn't stop looking at your cover picture. I didn't dwell on the disturbing gauze mask the bombing victim was holding to her face, but I was struck by the astonishing compassion of the man helping her.

Only one small piece may have struck the shuttle this time, glancing off a wing with so little force it didn't register on impact sensors.

Of course, there were other emotions: disbelieving horror at the devastation; pain for the suffering of the living and those who died; fear as the buildings still standing were rattled by repeated aftershocks; even the guilty relief that I wasn't out there searching for my family among the muddy ruins. But beneath all that there was a steady...
