NASA DEPUTY CHIEF DECLINES 'CULTURE' QUESTIONS
----------------------------------------------
NASA will respond to the Columbia Accident Investigation Board's
recommendations "almost to the letter," a senior agency official said

widely publicized criticism of NASA's management culture, saying "it would
be difficult for me to define to you what the 'NASA culture' is."

'PHOENIX' LANDER HEADED FOR MARTIAN NORTH POLE
----------------------------------------------
In May 2008, the progeny of two promising U.S. missions to Mars will

robotic arm into arctic terrain for clues on the history of water, and
search for environments suitable for microbes.

X-ray flashes occurring in the observable universe for every 1 detectable
by orbiting satellites. The bursts shine as brightly as a million trillion
suns yet seldom lasting even one minute.
