Added 1 new A* page:In the interests of some day getting through my backlog of nifty space news, lets do this rapid-fire title link style, starting with the most recent and starting to work back : P. These are all from the BBC:
- Self-healing plastic mimics blood clotting (useful for space suits, etc!)
- Paralysed person 'to walk' at World Cup
- UK centre to shoot for nuclear fusion record (I just love photos of the interiors of fusion reactors : D)
- US teenager survives five-hour flight in wheel well ("Since records began in 1947, about 100 wheel well stowaways are thought to have attempted to board flights, of whom around three-quarters died."—potentially useful story info for us writers : P)
- Birth of 'new Saturn moon' witnessed
- Scientists hail synthetic chromosome advance ("first synthetic chromosome for yeast")
- Icy body found orbiting far from Sun (a 450-km dwarf planet in the Oort Cloud)
- Icy Chariklo asteroid has ring system (sci-fi artists, now you have more things to put rings around : p)
Well, that put a tiny dent in the backlog. : P
