Video of crew locked up for 'flight' to Red Planet as Mars 500 takes off
Six men locked in a container for 18 months, with cameras following their every move - this is not reality TV show, it is a science experiment to simulate a manned mission to Mars. A Frenchman, an Italian, a Chinese and three Russians, all with higher technical education, will spend 520 days in a simulated space module in the Institute of Medical and Biological Studies. The experiment aims to examine how those men will cope both physically and psychologically.Author: RussiaTodaySource:

Are the Hubble, ESO, ESA, NASA and Spitzer telescopes' deep-space photos protected by copyright, or are they open to use because they were obtained with government funds? What are the pertinent rules of usage? If permission is needed, where would that be obtained?.

The Moon Planet and its Power
According to Indian astrology the Moon rules the house four and is the sign of cancer. As Sun and Saturn it is also one planet which represents your emotions and feelings. The Sun represents the mind or will, and Saturn is the body. Many people relate more to one than the other. If you work out in the gym you are making use of your Saturn power, If any person from you working in gem that's mean he is using all of his powers there due to Saturn.

How many more years before "WE" achieve REAL space travel technology?
As time goes by, some sci-fi movies like "2001" and "2010" are just becoming flat out crazy. Blade Runner is set at 2019. Star Trek is set about 200-300 years into the future. Star Wars is set some 1,000 years into the future.
Many more sci-fi movies are set in the mid-21st to early 22nd centuries. With all this RELIGIOUS and political turmoils facing our facing our beloved Earth, I doubt humanity will achieve such a technological leap forward.Author: Larry GSource:

Best food to travel with that don't need refrigeration?
We are going on a short vacation and my son isn't a great eater. Does well with PB&J, chicken nuggets and milk. What is easy to pack that we can throw in a backpack to feed him, instead of paying the high prices for food that he won't eat? We have the milk covered with the drink boxed milk, but what else can we do for food?Author: laurie0802Source:

Secrets of a Veteran Traveler for Successful and Peaceful Travel With a Small Child
For the past 13 years I've been traveling between the US and Europe on a regular basis. Since my son was born, he's been going with me almost every time. On some trips my husband was with us to help, but on many more I was alone to take care of my now-8-year-old son on the nine-hour flights...
As an organizing and time management expert, I took advantage of those trips to accumulate a wealth of tips and strategies to make every plane trip a smooth and successful one every time. Here are some of

Feb 6 Moon
A few nice moons images I found:
Feb 6 Moon
Image by jpstanley
The moon was almost directly overhead for this photo. That made clamping the camera to the eyepiece a bit awkward, which is why the moon isn't quite facing the right direction. Also, I had to rush to beat the clouds.
Compare yesterday's shot.
I need to do some experimentation with my different eyepieces and see what provides the flattest field and the least chromatic aberration. This one was shot through a 25mm Kellner

Where can I buy travel space bags in Montreal?
I am looking for space bags for travel, the ones you can just roll to squeeze the air out -- something like these ones https://www.spacebag.com/travelbag/.
Any tips on where I can get them in Montreal? I'm afraid that if I order online, I won't get them on time.
Thank you!Author: LanaSource:
