The returning cosmonaut and two astronauts almost died during their landing because Sojuz capsule almost burned in the atmosphere. The crew was very lucky because the situation was actually very dangerous. The results could have been much worse.
Last weekend the Sojuz capsule was bringing back cosmonauts Juri Malatshenko, American Peggy [...] | | By: Homeboy's Astro Blog | | |

| Top Ten songs for astronauts | | 2008-03-05 23:00:00 | | Astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) are to get an unusual treat -- an MP3 player loaded with a playlist of songs specially chosen for people in orbit. The Top Ten was selected by a 14-year-old Norwegian girl, Therese Miljeteig, who won a competition staged by the European Space Agency (ESA). Her prize is to watch the launch this weekend of ESA's space freighter, the Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV), at the Kourou space base, French Guiana. After launch, the cargo ship will dock automatically in low Earth orbit with the ISS, bringing food, water and other essentials to the ISS crew, as well as clothing and other personal items. This was the winning selection, which beat out 1,000 rivals from 10 countries: • Here Comes The Sun - Beatles• Come Fly With Me - Frank Sinatra• Rocket Man - Elton John• Up Where We Belong - Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes• Imagine - John Lennon• Flashdance - What A Feeling - Irene Cara• Walk of Life - Dire Straits• Fly - Celine | | By: Pro Pinoy | | |

| Astronauts NOT drunk, says NASA: No 'Ground Control to Major Bombed' | | 2008-02-13 17:47:50 | | Apparently that 'one small step for man', and all subsequent steps, (and we're guessing space walks too) have been taken in a straight line.According to no less esteemed a publication than the New York Times (of 'all the news that'll fit between 13 inches of broadsheet' fame), there is "no evidence of crew members’ going on space missions drunk or impaired by alcohol".This NASA decree, based on an anonymous online survey of 31 flight surgeons and 87 current astronauts done in the wake of the Lisa Nowak debacle, will finally put to bed any rumors of pie-eyed shenanigans where 'nobody can hear you scream', i.e, 'space' to the pop culture-averse. It's highly unlikely this, or any other announcement by NASA will phase conspiracy theorists though, who believe "astronauts" landed on a Hollywood sound stage and for all they know, might've been drunker than ushers at a monster truck rally while pulling their elaborate ruse. Airline pilots are much more used to such scrutiny, to the point tha | | By: The Shark Guys | | |

| Drunk Astronauts Flying Around in Space? | | 2007-08-09 05:52:21 | | My first thought was, "WHHAAAAAT?! drunk astronauts flying a great big ship around up there in space?!!!!!! What would happen if they hit the wrong switch on one of their computers and ended up crashing into a meteor or something?
Isn't there enough trouble with malfunctioning space ship equipment without adding substance abuse into the mix? This is really ludicrious, and I'm sure that you'll agree.
We wouldn't want to get into a bus with an intoxicated driver or into an airplane with a pilot who was wasted on some kind of substance, would we? So wouldn't it make sense to extend these same rules of safety to the outer stratosphere? Yes indeed, you bet it would and NASA, this is quite embarrassing.
I hope it is thoroughly investigated and dealt with appropriately.

| Space Diving Could be the Future for Astronauts and Extreme Dare-Devils | | 2007-06-28 14:01:00 | | Does the idea of leaping out of a spaceship with just a specially-adapted spacesuit and parachute thrill you? Thanks to a group of space scientists, the day you find yourself awaiting the order to jump 120,000 feet above earth could be closer than you think. And it's not just an idea for extreme sports fans, as the two men behind the idea reckon that Space Diving could be used as a safety function for astronauts whose ship has malfunctioned. read the rest of the story | | By: blogtech | | |
