  1. A rocket scientist's lament

    I still remember — although details are somewhat cloudy now, the gist of it is still clear as bell — the night when my teen and toddler brother and sisters, my father, some workers on the farm and I sat around a fire, on a somewhat cold night, in the middle of a jungle, and, with an occasional roar of a panther in the background, listened to a decrepit old radio. It was the late 60's in Western India, on my father's farm, and we were all very excited.

  2. The shuttle's final flight

    The scheduled touchdown of the space shuttle Atlantis Thursday at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida marks the end of a 30-year era in the U.S. manned spaceflight program. The space shuttle Columbia first flew in 1981, and since then the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has completed 135 missions aboard the delta-winged space planes, which have carried into orbit everything from classified military satellites to the Hubble Space Telescope and components for the International Space Station. After NASA technicians remove its engines and spruce it up inside and out, Atlantis will go on display alongside the three remaining shuttles in well deserved retirement at museums around the country.

  6. The wife stuff

    They were hounded by reporters sicced on them by NASA. Forced to lay their lives open to Life magazine. Panted after by every newspaper in the country. It got so bad that the vaunted wives of the astronauts in the American space program &mdash; which pervaded the national consciousness from Project Mercury in 1959 to the Apollo program ending in 1972 &mdash; had holes carved into the fences between their houses so they could visit each other without having to face television crews.

  7. Echoes From The Past

    In early April I was privileged to view a televised news story celebrating the arrival of the first cell phone 40 years ago. That antiquated gadget was a large, cumbersome piece of equipment &mdash; quite expensive and only affordable to a limited number of persons &mdash; in comparison to the small, refined cell phones people carry and depend upon today in a world that grows more hectic every year.

  10. Taking science to the masses

    Neil Shubin has the wide, happy eyes of a Muppet and the casual, ingratiating prattle of a car salesman. His thick, graying hair lends gravitas. He has written a new book, and on a bitter afternoon in Hyde Park he is explaining to me how he writes.
