...There are other, trickier challenges that would have to be overcome. Part of the justification for a lunar base has always been that the moon is rich in helium-3, an isotope of common helium that could serve as fuel in eventual fusion reactors. Astronauts could, in theory, mine the stuff and ship it back to Earth. That's fine, but first we have to, well, invent the reactor. What's more, as the beleaguered crews aboard the International Space Station have discovered, sometimes just maintaining your ship can take all your time and the mission itself - scientific research, mining...

Easier to use than anything pre-loaded on the Treo 680 or the BlackJack, the Sync's e-mail manager requires nothing but your e-mail address and password for set up, and manages most major webmail providers, including the trickier ones like MSN's Hotmail and AOL's AIM Mail.

The new rules, says Lorena G. Barberia, an OIP program associate, “mean substantially less licenses.†In 2003, Barberia says, the U.S. government issued 181 licenses for study programs nationwide; in 2005, they offered fewer than...
...Street. Is he still a threat? An ex-cop (Noah Emmerich) has no doubt on that point and is devoting his many idle days to harassing him. Fair warning: don't succumb too quickly to sympathy or antipathy for any of the characters. They are each a trickier part of this movie's complex scheme than they at first seem...
