On Feb. 1st, the shuttle Columbia was lost during its re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. All crew members died. If you've been out of touch for a while, this is news to you. But it shouldn't be by now. Check out the above site to get the latest on what's happening with the investigation. If you're in the area where debris from Columbia landed, and have photos, etc. to share with NASA, you can upload it to them. Anything at this point will be able to help the investigation into what happened. This is sad ... astronauts are a brave lot; they're smart, gifted people - people out to make a difference. Up there, there are no borders, no race, no war - just humanity. I do hope NASA honours their memory by continuing the push into space.

Civil disobedience is called for

In an act of desperation, Tim DeCristopher chose civil disobedience to disrupt the bidding process that saw 149,000 acres of public land leased off to oil companies in Utah.

It is one of the final sell-off by the dying Bush administration. DeCristopher showed at the auction, registered as a bidder, and started bidding -- and winning -- with no intention of purchasing or paying for the auctions he won. Way to go dude! You're a hero!
