* Why do we need to go to space anyhow? * Don’t we have enough problems here at home to deal with? We have many problems here on Earth, and even as we solve these problems, new ones will always crop up. There are many potential ways that humans could be rendered extinct: the super volcano under Yellowstone National Park could devastate millions or billions of lives, an asteroid impact large enough (as large or larger than what killed off the dinosaurs), a scientific experiment gone awry (we are working with anti-matter and super colliders which create micro black holes), and the list goes on and on. We need to get off of this planet and find ways to inhabit other planets with inhospitable environments to simply ensure the survival of the human race. There are immediate benefits to space travel as well. In space everything from air to water to waste needs to be recycled. Techniques used to recycle these resources in space can be modified to work here on Earth as well. Things like famine, global warming and clean water for the ever growing worlds population can be obtained. By only looking at the issues at hand and never looking forward then we’ll never be able to look forward and will always have huge issues here. It takes visionaries, but the future of the human race isn’t here on Terra Nova, it’s amongst the stars.
Robonaut to the ISS in 2010 and to the moon in 1000 days! Hayabusa may have brought back some asteroid, just, well, not a lot of it. Hubble has caught the birth of a new baby star. Awww, how cute.

Pull your teeth out with a model rocket (warning, you will probably cringe)
New welding techniques for Orion that look pretty awesome. The advantage of being able to use manufacturing methods that are not 30 years old for space. Who would have thunk it?
In space news we have a confirmed UFO sighting as well as a very awesome explanation as to what it is, Send your face to space, and wrapping up the Moon (AKA @toddthemoon) with a bow to deliver clean and limitless power back to Earth. Pipe dream or valuable reason to push for human space flight?

Obama went to Kennedy Space Center in Florida to talk about his plan for NASA. We dissect a few of his statements to see where this organization may be going.We're also joined by John Powel who is the author of "Floating to Space". This is a fascinating interview showing how balloons not only can get us to space affordably, but how he is doing it right now! Sound crazy? Maybe a bit, but you've already seen his work in commercials from Toshiba and he can put some of your work in to space *today* using this technology. It may just be crazy enough to work!

Sy Liebergot was the EECOM on duty when Apollo 13 called out ‘Houston, We’ve Had a Problem”. From that moment forward all eyes were on Sy to figure out what had happened to the crippled CSM.
