Want to watch SUN?

Hi there, here I am, back with some interesting news. While crawling over Net, I've found this site about Sun. It has loads of videos that show Sun's surface and I must say many of these videos are raw footage. Actually I found this link from the site: The Surface of the Sun. There are many more links in its Videos & links section, which are simply amazing. If you find anything else interesting on this particular subject, please let me know of it. You know I love it.

For those who are curious about space ...

Hope you already know that America's prestigious space shuttle Discovery is on its way to International Space Station. Shortly after its launch Nasa noticed some objects falling from Orbiter and from one of the Solid Rocket Boosters. Also, a bird hit to the external fuel tank. For now, scientists at NASA are unsure of the results, while they accepted that chances are there that it could damage the heat shield of Orbiter. President Bush already started praying for the safe return of astronauts aboard. I also join him. If you would like to track the Discovery mission second by second, here is your chance. The following link leads you to NASA TV's page, where you can find 'NASA TV via the Internet' section. Select appropriate player there and watch your fingers crossed.

Own a piece of the moon, really!!

You would be aware that it is Bush's initiative to make space tourism happen in the near future. But long before all this, a clever businessman, whose name I eventually forgot, got a brilliant idea. He envisioned that people be paying jolly trips to the moon in future. So he worked out a plan. First thing he did was to setup a panel of attorneys to study international laws on the ownership of planets. Surprisingly, there are rules like no country owns any planet in anyway, but no rule saying that an individual can not own a planet. Then he claimed that he owns all the planets in our Solar System and asked to respond if any one should have any objections regarding this.

Little aware about his plans, every country, businessmen overlooked his statements and there was not even a single petition against his claim. Then he officially became the owner of the planets with all the registration papers etc. So he established a company, which conducted aerial suveys on the moon kilometer-by-kilometer. He divided moon into flats and started selling them at dirt cheap price. Reportedly celebrities like Arnold, Tom Cruise were there among his long list of customers. Even you can also own a flat. I think the company's name is 'The Lunar Republic'. It has operations in India also, through which they are offering a moon flat for just Rs. 2,500.

I've recollected this news which I learnt quite long ago, after watching this article
