Because I think space is beautiful, here's a slide show of images taken of and from space. Some are lovely, others are not, but they're all interesting.
Asteroid mining is one of those things that comes into and goes out of fashion regularly and quickly. Here's a little blurb from Wired about its economic viability, and it plays in with my ongoing rant about how Space should be a commercial concern first, and a scientific one second.

Up until now all of the books by R3 have only been available on Amazon/Kindle. There are, however, several other E-reader formats for virtual books and he's basically been neglecting them up until now due to his massive technical ineptitude. (<-R3 wrote that) That's done, though. As of this morning, both his anthologies were posted on Smashwords! We've even dropped the price a buck in celebration! Smashwords publishes formats for iPod/iPhone, B&N Nook, Sony reader, and most any device using the Android O/S.
EDIT: THE NEW BOOK "It's Not Rocket Science" IS NOW ONLINE ALSO. See inside for links and more details.
