"Landing on Mars is very difficult, and it's harder on some parts of the planet than others, " says Dr Ed Weiler, associate administrator for space science at Nasa in Washington, DC.
Indeed, when James Hansen, of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Science, proclaimed in 1987 that "the warming has begun, " his colleagues, including many who took the threat seriously, declared his statement premature.
In 2006, the first stage of the Space for Science involved 18 SEE research and higher education institutions.
Their goal was to attract the interest of specialised institutions in order to cooperate in further extension of the Space for Science.
Space for Science project was born as a follow-up of different expert and ministerial meetings initiated by UNESCO in 2001 and 2002 and related to the reconstruction of scientific cooperation in South-East Europe (SEE).
It resulted in the Space for Science project, which aims to facilitate scientific and technical cooperation in South-East Europe by providing virtual, collaborative and education services to academic and higher education institutions through fast academic networks and two-way satellite channels.
The concept of an international space station had just been announced in 1993, and Ting and his collaborators saw an opportunity for groundbreaking science in space.
ENGADGET: AMS detects excess of positrons, could suggest existence of dark matter
"There's a huge synergy there, in astronomers trying to find the influence of dark matter by mapping stars and galaxies and large structures in the universe, and particle physicists trying to discover the source of that influence of dark matter through subatomic particles here on Earth, " said Jason Kalirai, deputy project scientist for the telescope at the Space Telescope Science Institute.
Classrooms across the country were ready for the first science class taught from space.
The price makes the 14 May launch the single most valuable flight for pure science in the history of European space activity.
However, he did add that at least some of the return could take the form of equipment procured for use on the space station's European science laboratory, Columbus.

Computer Science was designed more appropriately for the online space than the Game Theory course.
Republicans insist that government funding is essential for basic science or for big projects like supercolliders, space stations, computer network security, energy programs, and nanotechnology.
FORBES: The Debt Ceiling, Thomas Jefferson and the Semi-Virtue of a Balanced Budget Amendment
But as Chris Hadfield has shown, its ability to inspire is undisputed and perhaps deserves the patience that he has called for to inspire a generation to learn about science and space travel.
Ken Edgett with Malin Space Science Systems, which operates the camera for NASA, compared some of the newest Mars images for the group that gathered last week in Buffalo, New York, with those taken from 1976 to 1980 by the two Viking landers.
So the ISS's value for science and even as a staging post for deep space travel is not clear-cut.
Max Mutchler from the Space Telescope Science Institute says the astronomer who asked for the pictures was then too busy to look at them.
As OMB previously indicated in our statement for the record for this Committee's May 6 hearing, if additional resources are warranted for Station development, the Administration intends to look first for offsets within NASA while protecting Administration priorities in space and earth science, advanced space transportation, and aviation safety research.

They included the one known as STS-107, which, after years of delays, went into space in mid-January for a rare mission devoted solely to science.
The primary difference between the terrestrial-based instruments and AMS is that AMS' science instrument systems were miniaturized and ruggedized for launch on the space shuttle and operation on the space station.

Brooklyn, New York ( VBS.TV) -- Vincent Fournier's photography captures a longing for the space age that lives somewhere between the recently made-possible and the science fiction of the '70s and '80s.
From the scientific perspective, for the story to close for science, flight rates have to be high, said Alan Stern, chair of the scientific organizing committee for the conference and associate vice president of the Southwest Research Institute's Space Science and Engineering Division in Boulder.
"To be able to have something like SpaceCraftTwo to put scientists in space ... at a relatively low cost, it's transforming for science, " Attenborough said.

Glenn also defended his journey into space from critics who say that it is being done not so much for the sake of science but for the sake of publicity.
Even as NASA's budget has decreased by approximately 15 percent in constant dollars since 1993, we have made provision for several important new initiatives to maintain the delicate balance between human space flight, earth and space science, and advanced aeronautics and space transportation technology.

It helps booksellers define titles that are space-travel science fiction versus time-travel science fiction, cyberpunk versus steampunk, for instance.
During the Annefrank flyby, Stardust will run through the exact sequence planned for the comet encounter, with science instruments all running and relaying data at high speeds for the first time since the space probe's launch.
It risks squeezing out space for practical, hands-on experiments, which are vital to help children develop an interest in science from the start of school.
The UNESCO Regional Bureau for Science and Culture in Europe, Venice (Italy), is associated with the Open Discovery Space (ODS) project, funded by the European Commission under the CIP ICT-PSP call 5, and kicked off in Athens in April 2012, resulting of the collaboration between 51 organizations from 23 countries, with the aim to create a socially-powered, multilingual open learning infrastructure to boost the adaptation of eLearning Resources in Europe.
For a time, I was committed to science and math excellence, because of my desire to travel to space.
