  3. 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.

  7. Cleanliness is key for robotic space explorers

    WATERTON CANYON, Colo. &mdash; The concrete-floored room looks, at first glance, like little more than a garage. There is a red tool chest, its drawers labeled: &quot;Hacksaws." "Allen wrenches." There are stepladders and vise grips. There is also, at one end of the room, a half-built spaceship, and everyone is wearing toe-to-fingertip protective suits.

  10. A rocket scientist's lament

    I still remember &mdash; although details are somewhat cloudy now, the gist of it is still clear as bell &mdash; 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.

  12. Anatomy of a Front Page

    Thrown together by time and a newspaper's front page, two disparate events can become related. Forty-five years ago, a horrific flash fire killed three Apollo 1 astronauts on the launch pad, the worst disaster to that date for the nascent U.S. space program. And closer to home, Chicago was walloped by the worst snowstorm ever recorded in the area. It paralyzed the city with 23 inches of snow and killed more than 60 people. Both events dominated the news for days, but the aftermath of the Great Snowstorm of 1967 remained Page One news for nearly two weeks.
