Maybe. At their stepped-up pace, the government scientists should complete their road map of the 23 pairs of human chromosomes by late June. But there are folks out there who could spoil the victory party. Scientist and entrepreneur Craig Venter's company, Celera, using a riskier "shotgun" approach to plow through all those letters, is working at a furious pace as well. Only two weeks ago, he announced that Celera had completed mapping the genome of Drosophila melanogaster, a.k.a. the fruit fly, a favorite tool of lab scientists. While the fruit fly genome is far less complex than...
...observation by dealing artfully with unchallenged male mayhem directed at women. Jha, who escaped a career in mechanical engineering to study journalism at the University of Southern California, frames his story in a series of impressionistic and quietly menacing scenes. The technique works, but some may find the tableaux approach somewhat oblique...
Inhospitable as such a Red Planet redoubt would be, two years after you arrive, another crew will show up, and another two years after that, and another after that. By 2017--about the time that children born this year approach voting age--mankind's first tiny settlement on another world may be taking hold...

And don't forget to exercise. As for me, I'll be working on an extra 6 lbs.--and that's a lot of cookies to resist...
...Johnson Space Center, engineers are thus looking at other Mars scenarios that still include frugal, on-site fuel manufacturing but also call for six-person crews, bigger vehicles and Apollo-style motherships in Martian orbit. "We're trying to take the best ideas and fold them into a reasonable approach," says Drake...
