Carnival of Space Week 58

Carnival of Space 58 is up at UniverseToday

This site contributed an article on the top ten near term developments for vastly increased capabilities in space

Centauri Dreams talks about a light tower for propelling solar sails

Bad Astronomy talks about a quantum mechanics test at the space station



Colony Worlds indicates that future colonists should grow bamboo

Hobbyspace reports that the 2008 Lunar Lander Challenge will take place at Holloman Air Force Base in Alamogordo, New Mexico, October 24-25, 2008. This year's competition will be webcast online; the public can follow the action at the X PRIZE Foundation website www.xprize.org.
