Link Fest

I've had a very busy week and I've not really had a chance to keep up on the news, which apparently never slows down. It's been an interesting week for the U.S. space program, we said no to Russia and the idea of exploring the Moon together, NASA announced it was going to develop a policy on what to do if an astronaut dies during a mission, and then sadly, one of the pioneers of the space program, Wally Schirra Jr., died.  So, without any further comment, here are the links:
