By the time the sun rose over Cape Canaveral Wednesday a bittersweet
moment had finally arrived for hundreds of workers as the final Titan 4
rocket to fly from the Florida spaceport reached its launch pad. (Includes
video!)
---------------------------------------------
Fifteen years ago, the largest telescopes in the world had yet to locate a
planet orbiting another star. Today telescopes no larger than those
available in department stores are proving capable of spotting previously
unknown worlds. A newfound planet detected by a small, 4-inch-diameter
telescope demonstrates that we are at the cusp of a new age of planet
discovery.

NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter began working overtime Wednesday after
completing a prime mission that discovered vast supplies of frozen water,
ran a safety check for future astronauts, and mapped surface textures and
minerals all over Mars, among other feats.
----------------------------------------
Radar tracking data gathered during the Delta 2 launch of the MESSENGER
spacecraft earlier this month has provided promising results that may
benefit NASA's space shuttle program and Discovery's return to flight.
----------------------------------------------
University of Arizona scientists have discovered that meteorites,
particularly iron meteorites, may have been critical to the evolution of
life on Earth.
New digital transfers offer the ultimate record
of the Apollo Moon landings.
